Nichicon PPA Axial-Terminal Snubber Capacitors

Nichicon PPA Snubber Capacitors are high-current, high-frequency capacitors with axial terminals. Nichicon PPA Capacitors feature a 420VAC to 750VAC and 700VDC to 3kVDC voltage rating and a 4700pF to 6.8µF capacitance range. The PPA series operates over a -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and is ideal for various uses, including energy conversion and control, power semiconductor circuits, protection circuits in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), and more.
