ACAL Technology has announced compact Y2 EMI suppression capacitors from EPCOS. Connected to protective ground between the neutral conductor and phase to suppress high-frequency interference and transients, they protect the equipment and allow it to operate reliably. Typical applications include power supplies and household appliances. The Y2 capacitors offer a rated AC voltage of 300 VAC and a temperature stability of 110 °C. Their design ensures extremely reliable performance in a compact format. Their dimensions range from 4 x 9 x 13 mm³ to 20 x 39.5 x 41.5 mm³. They also satisfy the most important international standards such as IEC, UL and CSA.

These reliable components were designed for across-the-line applications in order to suppress symmetrical electrical interference and are intended specifically for equipment requiring a high level of interference protection. The series is designed for operation in equipment that is continuously connected to single-phase power grids. These capacitors also satisfy the IEC, UL and CSA standards.
Samples are available from ACAL Technology now and customer applications can be fully assessed and verified by testing prototype designs in ACAL’s EMC chamber which can measure conductive and radiated emissions and test products to EN55022, EN61000 and EN61000-3-2. ACAL has a team of experts on hand to ensure any design is effectively and rapidly completed in partnership with their customers.
