Type LQ capacitors are designed for DC application such as filtering, bypass and coupling application. Type LQ capacitors are offered with internal construction variations designed to meet various circuit conditions. The following suffix letters identify these constructions.
Suffix "V" is extended foil (non-inductively wound), providing soldered contacts throughout. These capacitors are useful when used as a filter in a power supply which has a very low current output, or if the capacitor must supply high surge currents. They are oil impregnated, and epoxy filled.

Suffix "Y" is the standard inserted tab construction for filter and bypass applications and are oil impregnated, and epoxy filled.
The Case is a black phenolic shell. The epoxy end fill is heat resistant and provides a positive seal to the phenolic shell.
Impregnant used for suffix types "V" and "Y" is a highly refined, purified and inhibited combination of natural mineral oil and a synthetic oil, the flash point is greater than 145ºC when measured per method 110.3.4 of specification VV-L-791.
Mounting Position all types LQ capacitors will operate satisfactorily in any mounting position.
Terminals are Copperweld leads. The wire gauge and length used are functions of the case size; minimum of 1-3/4 inch length, #20 or #22 wire.
AC Applications the phenolic shell is a useful housing for low cost alternating current applications. By the judicious use f available low loss dielectrics, the frequency range can be extended to 30 megahertz. Call us at (604) 925-6150 or send us an E-Mail for recommendations.
Temperature Range -20°C to 65°C with nameplate voltage applied.
Test Voltage Terminal to terminal is 150% rated voltage for one minute without a permanent breakdown.
Capacitance Tolerance Standard capacitance tolerance is ±10%. Standard tolerances not marked.
Life type LQ capacitors are designed for continuous operation at 65°C for 10,000 hours.
Dielectric Resistance is given in the "R vs. T" graph. Measurement can be made with nameplate voltage. Capacitance values under 1 mfd. need not exceed two times the graph value per mfd. at any temperature.
Humidity Resistance Test will meet requirements of EIA RS 164.
