Dielectric Strength

Capacitors withstand a DC potential of 1.5 times rated

DC voltage for one (1) minute without damage or breakdown. Test voltage is applied and discharged through a minimum resistance of 1 OHM per volt, minimum.

Dissipation Factor

When measured at 120Hz specified for capacitance measurement, the Dissipation Factor will not exceed 0.10%.

  REVOLUTIONARY SAFETY TECHNOLOGY

Fuseac ® technology was created to provide designers of power management systems, utilizing metallized dry film capacitors, with a superior protection mechanism. Electronic Concepts, Inc. has developed a revolutionary fuse to detect the capacitor's hot spot and electrically disconnect upon reaching a defined critical value. Metallized film capacitors, mainly due to self healing of inherent defects, are reliable and long lasting over the life of the product. However, excessive self healing and fail catastrophically. Fuseac ® provides added insurance against disastrous failures.

Fuseac ® is a patent pending technology and on request can be incorporated in a host of Electronic Concepts products, especially into designs needing added overheating protection.

Marking And Date Code

All capacitors are marked with company initials "EC", corporate logo or EC trademark—in addition to type 5MPA, capacitance, tolerance, rated DC working voltage and date code. The first two digits of the date code represent the year, the second two digits the week, i.e., 0952 is the 52nd week of 2009, 0902 is the second week of 2009.

Quality Assurance

Major emphasis is placed on quality assurance. EC is an ISO 9001-2000 and AS9100:2004 Certified Company. Raw material inspection and the use of SPC manufacturing procedures assure the highest quality standards. Procedures are fully described in the

EC Quality Control Manual. Electronic Concepts will continue to advance the state-of-the-art by utilizing leading edge technology, compact capacitor designs and establishing reliability procedures.
