JIMSON ELECTRONICS (XIAMEN) CO.,LTD. - MPC Series Capacitors

Product Overview: The JIMSON MPC series capacitors are designed with non-inductive construction and self-healing properties, offering high moisture resistance and excellent physical and environmental adaptability. They are suitable for filtering and noise suppression circuits, pulse, logic, and timing circuits, as well as DC-blocking, by-passing, and signal coupling in communication equipment. These capacitors are also widely used in power electronic equipment for absorbing peak voltage and current during the switching of devices.

Technical Specifications

General Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios

• Filtering and noise suppression circuits
• Pulse, logic, and timing circuits
• DC-blocking, by-passing, and signal coupling in general communication equipment
• Absorption protection for peak voltage and peak current in power electronic equipment switching devices

Marking

• Individual Capacitor: Rated capacitance (e.g., 103), Rated voltage (e.g., 2000VDC), Capacitance tolerance (e.g., J), Manufacturer's symbol (JIMSON / JS)
• Package Label: Product model, rated capacitance and voltage, production date, factory location, manufacturer's name

Important Terminology Explanations

• Rated Capacitance: Expressed by a three-digit number (e.g., 224 = 220,000pF or 0.22uF). Unit: pF. 1F=1,000mF=1,000,000uF=1,000,000,000nF=1,000,000,000,000pF.
• Capacitance Tolerance: Percentage deviation of actual capacitance from rated capacitance. Symbols: F=1%, G=2%, J=5%, K=10%, M=20%, N=30%.
• Dissipation Factor (DF): Measure of power loss in a capacitor under alternating voltage (ratio of active power to reactive power). Measured at 20 and 1kHz.
• Insulation Resistance (IR): Measure of capacitor's ability to retain electrical charge. Ratio of applied DC voltage to leakage current after 60s. Measured at T=20, RH65%. Expressed in megohms for low capacitance, or as a time constant (IR*C) for higher capacitance values.
• Self-healing: In metallized film capacitors, localized breakdown causes the thin metal layer around the weak point to evaporate, isolating the breakdown point and allowing the capacitor to self-heal without permanent short circuits.

Weatherability Testing Methods

• High Temperature (85): Capacitance drift 5% max of initial value; DF
• Low Temperature (-40): Capacitance drift -5% max of initial value; DF
• Humidity (85, 85% RH for 1000h): Capacitance drift +10% max of initial value; IR > 50% of initial value; DF

Caution

• Soldering Suggestion: Max Soldering Temperature 270, Time 4S. Pre-heating 105, 1min.
• Salt Fog Test Condition: For tin-plated copper-clad steel leads, perform salt fog test after wave soldering.
• Storage Environment and Conditions: Store at T30, RH70%. Unopened MBB ensures 24 months shelf life. Avoid exposure to atmospheric pollutants (hydrogen chloride, hydrogen sulfide, sulfuric acid) and high temperature/humidity.
