Type 715P Vishay Sprague Polypropylene Film Capacitors ORANGE DROP , Low Loss Polyproplyene plastic film is employed as the dielectric in Type 715P ORANGE DROP capacitors. Type 715P capacitors are ideal for applications where high AC current flow is found, RoHS as in certain solid-state TV vertical circuits, r-f COMPLIANT generators and pulse-forming networks where dielectric heating is often a problem. The polyproplyene dielectric film is similar to polystyrene in that it can handle high AC currents due to is low loss but with the added advantage of an operating temperature to + 105 C. Capacitance change with temperature is less than 3 % over the entire operating temperature range. The temperature coefficient is negative and virtually linear at 180 PPM/C over the temperature range of + 25 C to + 105 C. This characteristic means the Type 715P is suitable for matching with positive TC resistors and inductors to maintain circuit stability. Type 715P ORANGE DROP capacitors are conformally coated with a flame retardant epoxy. Performance characteristics, as well as curves showing typical variation in electrical characteristics as a function of temperature and frequency, are given. PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Operating Temperature: - 55 C to + 85 C, standard up to Humidity Test: Condition capacitors with no voltage applied + 105 C when working voltage is reduced to 50 % of the for 72 hours at 95 % relative humidity and + 75 C.
