TDK-EPC
New MKP and MKT film capacitors with low insertion heights have a lead spacing of 37.5 mm feature insertion heights of only 15 or 19 mm. The components are designed for rated voltages of between 63 and 2000 V DC or 250 to 400 V AC. Their capacitance ranges from 0.1 to 82 µF. Depending on type and technology (MKT or MKP), these capacitors are designed for maximum operating temperatures of 105, 110 or 125 °C. Visit www.epcos.com/film_capacitors

E-Switch
The small 500R series slide switch offers IP67 sealing protection and comes in up to three positions.
