The R76 series capacitors from Kemet are radial leaded metalized polypropylene film capacitors for DC and pulse applications. These capacitors are constructed with polypropylene film dielectric and double metalized polyester film electrodes. The radial leads of tinned wire are electrically welded to the metal layer on the ends of the capacitor winding. The capacitor is encapsulated in a self extinguishing solvent resistant plastic case with thermosetting resin material meeting the UL94 V-0 requirements. Two different winding constructions are used depending on voltage parameters. Typical applications include deflection circuits in televisions (S correction and flyback tuning) and monitors, switching spikes suppression in SMPS, lamp capacitors for electronic ballasts and compact lamps and snubber and silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) commutation circuits as well as applications with high voltage and high current. It is not suitable for across the line application.
