Capacitor Safety Caps

Below is a list of technical and application notes relevant to Johanson Dielectrics AC Safety Capacitors.

Title Purpose / Key Insight
Safety Certified Application Notes
  • High-Reliability Safety Capacitors – Designed for line-to-line (X) and line-to-ground (Y) applications, Johanson safety-certified capacitors meet IEC/EN standards and protect against high-voltage surges, EMI, and shock risks.
  • Proven Performance – Rated up to 5000 V impulse with rigorous impulse and endurance testing, they provide reliable EMI filtering and insulation barrier compliance for telecom, power supply, and industrial applications.
PCB Pad Layout Recommendations
  • Covers pad sizes, spacing, and solder fillet control to ensure reliable solder joints.
  • Includes guidance on minimizing mechanical stress that can cause capacitor cracking during reflow or handling.
Recommended Storage Conditions
  • Lists environmental requirements for long-term capacitor storage before assembly.
  • Emphasizes humidity and temperature control to prevent oxidation or degradation.
Part Number Explanation
  • Breaks down Johanson’s capacitor part numbering system into clear segments.
  • Each section of the code represents attributes such as dielectric, capacitance value, tolerance, case size, termination, and voltage rating.
