Radial Box Metallized Polyester Capacitors for Automatic Insertion
Type 168/185
Metallized Polyester Radial Lead Capacitors
The Type 168/185 series radial lead metallized polyester
box capacitors are available in bulk (Type 168) or on
ammo pack or tape and reel (Type 185). These capacitors
are constructed in rugged rectangular plastic cases and
all come with 5.0 mm (0.197
“
) lead spacing. They are
good for general purpose applications such as bypass,
decoupling, energy storage/discharge and arc suppres-
sion.

If the working voltage (V) is less than the nominal voltage
(Vn), the capacitor can work at higher dv/dt. In this case, the
maximum value allowed is obtained by multiplying the above
value with the ratio Vn/V.
