What are the key features of PHE840MA6100MA04R17?
- 100nF polypropylene film dielectric at 760V DC / 275V AC provides high-voltage X-capacitor filtering capability with minimal self-heating
- Metallized polypropylene construction delivers self-healing behavior after voltage transients, extending service life in AC line filtering circuits
- Through-hole mounting with compact lead spacing fits standard PCB layouts in power supplies and motor drives requiring rugged AC line filtering
What is PHE840MA6100MA04R17 used for?
The PHE840MA6100MA04R17 is primarily deployed as an X-capacitor across AC power lines in switching power supplies, motor drives, and industrial inverters where 275V AC suppression of line-conducted EMI is required. Its self-healing polypropylene film dielectric makes it reliable in applications subject to repetitive voltage surges up to 760V DC, such as PFC stages and input filter networks. Lighting ballasts, UPS systems, and home appliance power boards also use this capacitor for differential-mode noise suppression at the AC mains inlet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a 760V DC rating important for a 100nF capacitor used in a 275V AC line filter application?
In AC line filtering, peak voltage for 275V AC mains reaches approximately 389V peak (275V × √2). The 760V DC rating of the PHE840MA6100MA04R17 provides nearly 2× margin above this peak, which is necessary to withstand lightning surge and switching transients that can momentarily double or triple the nominal line voltage. This headroom ensures the polypropylene film capacitor survives without dielectric breakdown during real-world AC grid disturbances.
How does the self-healing property of the PHE840MA6100MA04R17 polypropylene film dielectric benefit a motor drive EMI filter?
Metallized polypropylene film capacitors like the PHE840MA6100MA04R17 exhibit self-healing behavior: when a localized dielectric breakdown occurs, the thin metal electrode layer vaporizes at the fault point within microseconds, isolating the defect and restoring insulation. This means the capacitor continues functioning after minor over-voltage events rather than failing short, which is critical in motor drive EMI filters exposed to frequent 760V DC transient spikes from inductive switching. Capacitance loss per self-healing event is typically below 1nF, keeping the 100nF rating effective across service life.
Can the PHE840MA6100MA04R17 replace an X2-class safety capacitor in a switching power supply input filter?
The PHE840MA6100MA04R17 is rated at 275V AC, which matches the voltage classification of X2 safety capacitors defined for 250V AC nominal mains. Engineers should verify that the specific part holds the required IEC 60384-14 X2 safety approval certification before use in isolated mains-connected circuits; if certified, a 100nF 275V AC polypropylene film part is a valid X2 replacement. Non-certified film capacitors should only be used in non-safety-critical positions downstream of an already-certified line filter stage.
