Overview
The Vishay ERO F1772-515-2000 capacitor is a Class X2 interference suppression film capacitor rated for 1.5µF at 250V AC. Manufactured by Vishay Roederstein (ERO brand), this metalized polyester film (MKT) capacitor is engineered for AC mains filtering and EMI suppression in industrial control systems, power supplies, and household appliances. The F1772-515-2000 delivers stable capacitance with flame-retardant epoxy-sealed construction and long operational life in demanding electrical environments.
Key Features
- Class X2 rated — safety-approved for AC mains filtering between phase and neutral
- Metalized polyester film construction — self-healing properties minimize failure risk
