Safety capacitors are mainly capacitors that require safety certification before they can be used. Currently, the main safety capacitors are: X1 safety capacitor, X2 safety capacitor, and Y1 and Y2 safety capacitors. Some people want to know if x2 is a safety capacitor?

The answer is affirmative: X2 is one of the safety capacitors, and its usage is particularly large. Although X1 is also a safety capacitor, its usage is relatively small. There are actually many types of X2 safety capacitors, and different types of X2 capacitors have very different functions. Below we will introduce them one by one:

1. X2 safety capacitor for suppressing power electromagnetic interference

This is the most typical use of X2 capacitor, which is commonly used to suppress power electromagnetic interference. It mainly uses polymer polypropylene film dielectric, thickened metalized electrode, fully automatic spray welding process, 94V0 flame retardant PBT plastic shell, epoxy resin sealing, high voltage resistance, and strong transient pulse voltage withstand ability. Widely used in power supply parallel cross line circuits to suppress electromagnetic interference.

2. X2 safety standard capacitor for capacitive divider power supply

Another common function of X2 capacitors is to reduce voltage through resistance and capacitance. In some small home appliance controls and smart meters, using capacitors for voltage reduction is simpler and more cost-effective than using transformers. X2 capacitors are specifically designed for resistance and capacitance voltage reduction circuits, using polymer polypropylene film dielectric, thickened metalized electrodes, fully automatic spray welding technology, 94V0 flame-retardant PBT plastic shell, moisture resistant epoxy resin sealing, and CP wire lead out. High voltage resistance, moisture and heat resistance, low capacitance drop, specifically designed for capacitive divider power supply circuits, such as LED driver modules, electric meters, small household appliances and other low-power electronic consumer products.

3. Double 85 type X2 safety capacitor, X2 Heavy Duty Series Safety Capacitors

The double 85 X2 capacitor is also used for resistance capacitance voltage reduction, but its performance is better and can pass the THB1000h double 85 test. It is used in some circuits with harsh operating environments, such as smart meters, which are mainly used outdoors to withstand high temperature and high humidity environments. Therefore, the double 85 X2 capacitor must be used. It has high voltage resistance, moisture resistance, and low capacitance drop, and is specifically designed for resistive capacitive voltage reduction circuits, such as LED driver modules, electric meters, small household appliances, and other low-power electronic consumer products. The product can pass the THB1000h dual 85 test.

4. RC parallel and series X2 capacitors

This type of X2 capacitor has a unique internal structure, with a resistor connected in parallel or series. The RC parallel type X2 capacitor is composed of an internal parallel connection between the X2 capacitor and the discharge resistor, and has excellent flame retardant performance. Widely used in anti-interference applications such as power lines. The RC series X2 capacitor has good noise suppression, energy peak absorption, and damping effects.

What are the differences between THB type X2 safety capacitors and regular X2 capacitors?

For X2 safety capacitors, those who are not familiar with them believe that their function is to suppress power electromagnetic interference. In fact, X2 capacitors have many usage scenarios, some of which do not require high performance, but some require strict performance from X2 capacitors. Strong capacitor manufacturers, such as WEE Technology, will classify WFC-A X2 capacitors into anti-interference type, resistance capacitance voltage reduction type, THB high temperature resistance, high humidity type. What are the differences between THB X2 safety capacitors and ordinary X2 capacitors? What is THB type X2 safety capacitor?

Simply put, it means that WFC-A can pass the THB 1000h dual 85 test, also known as the dual 85 capacitor.

This test may seem simple, but for X2 safety capacitors, it is still difficult to pass because the two biggest factors affecting the lifespan of X2 capacitors are high temperature and humidity. Working in such an environment, ordinary X2 safety capacitors will quickly break down and have a short lifespan.

 Some electrical appliances are used in harsh environments, such as smart meters used outdoors, which may face high temperatures and humidity. In this case, THB type X2 safety capacitors must be used.

Characteristics and functions of THB type X2 safety capacitor:

Optimized series X2 certified type, using polymer polypropylene film medium, thickened metalized electrode, fully automatic spray welding process, 94V0 flame retardant PBT plastic shell, moisture resistant epoxy resin sealing, CP wire lead out. High voltage resistance, moisture and heat resistance, low capacitance drop, specifically designed for resistive capacitive voltage reduction circuits, such as LED driver modules, electric meters, small household appliances and other low-power electronic consumer products. The product can pass the THB1000h dual 85 test.

Compared to ordinary X2 capacitors, it has better high temperature resistance and high humidity performance, but the disadvantage is that the price will be slightly higher.
