The 3MP Series Metallized Polypropylene Capacitor is designed for contemporary high-energy AC filtering applications, capable of handling high RMS currents. It features a robust integrated flange allowing versatile mounting positions and offers both male and female terminal options. A unique attribute is its capacity to include a thermal sensing device at the capacitor's hot spot. This setup includes a normally open or closed thermal cut-out (TCO) potted at the geometric center of the device, designed to trigger user-defined circuits at critical temperatures. The capacitor can also accommodate other sensing technologies as per customer specifications. It can withstand a DC potential of 1.5 times the rated voltage for one minute without damage or breakdown, discharged through a minimum resistance of 1 OHM per volt minimum. The polypropylene material used ensures a dissipation factor of less than 2.1 x 10^-4 across the operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C, and frequencies up to 1MHz.
