Y2 SAFETY and INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION Capacitors for Tube Electronics

Features and Specifications:

  • Ideal for "line-to-ground" / "across the line" / "line filter" / "interference suppression" / "antenna-coupling" applications.
  • UL/CSA and European Safety Regulations Class Y2. Safety Approved by UL (USA) UL1414; CSA (Canada) C22.2NO.1; SEMCO, SEV, FIMCO, NEMCO, DEMCO, VDE, CE (Europe) (EN132400 / IEC384-14); CQC (China).
  • Construction : MEY-Y2 special metalized polyester film dielectric (non-inductive type) encapsulated in flame-retardant plastic case / epoxy resin sealed (UL-class 94V-0). High moisture resistance.
  • Long 20mm (7/8") copper-ply radial leads for easy "under chassis" installation.
  • Insulation Resistance: 15000 megaohms.
  • Self-healing properties for long capacitor life and dependable operation.
  • Operating Temperature Range: -40C to +85 C.
  • Dissipation factor: 1.0% max. at 1 KHz and 25C
  • Rated Voltage: 250 Volts AC 50Hz~60Hz
  • Test Voltage: 1500 Volts AC for 1 full minute !
  • Capacitance: Available at 0.0047uF, 0.01uF, 0.015uF, 0.022uF, .033uF , 0.047uF and 0.1uF (we carry X1Y2 Disc Safety Capacitors where lower uF values are required)
  • Applications: Ideal for line-to-ground, line-by-pass, across-the-line, line filter, antenna coupling, spark killer circuits, switching power supply and EMI (electromagnetic interference) filter and interference suppression.
  • Capacitor Tolerance: +/- 10%.
  • Meets UL safety requirements (UL1414) for use in television and radio receivers. Safe replacement for paper capacitors in vintage tube electronics.
  • ISO 9002 and 9001 certified

Y2 Safety/Interference Suppression Film Capacitors are specifically made for high voltage AC (alternating current) applications. Y2 safety capacitors can safely be used as line-to ground / line isolation, across the line / line filter capacitors and antenna coupling capacitors in vintage tube electronics. These safety certified capacitors can also improve the performance of your radios/hi-fi's/Amps/TV's due to their NOISE INTERFERENVE SUPPRESSION characteristics. Back when your vintage tube electronics were manufactured there was a lot less noise interference and Y2 safety capacitors had not been invented. You can improve the safety, reliability and performance your tube electronics by replacing your old/original paper line-to-ground / line isolation / line filter capacitors with new safety approved capacitors.
