Polypropylene film capacitor HQ PS‑M‑CBB‑400V684J 0.68µF 400V, radial lead

HQ polypropylene film capacitor PS‑M‑CBB‑400V684J provides 0.68µF (680nF) capacitance with a rated voltage of 400V. This metallized CBB‑type film capacitor features a stable polypropylene dielectric with low dissipation factor, making it suitable for general-purpose electronic filtering, coupling, decoupling and timing tasks in power supplies, audio circuits and signal processing applications.

Advantages

The polypropylene dielectric ensures low dielectric loss and stable capacitance over a wide frequency range. The metallized film construction offers self-healing properties and compact size (approx. 15 mm body), while radial leads simplify through‑hole mounting. The component is rated for 400V working voltage and manufactured to provide consistent performance in filtering and timing circuits.

Suitable for

• Power supply filtering and decoupling
• Audio signal coupling and crossover networks
• General-purpose timing and RC networks
• Signal processing and low-loss filter circuits

How to use

Install the PS‑M‑CBB‑400V684J in through‑hole PCB layouts using its radial leads. Observe correct polarity is not required for polypropylene film capacitors, but ensure proper voltage rating and correct orientation within the circuit to maintain clearances. Place the capacitor near the point of filtering or decoupling for best performance and secure leads mechanically before soldering. Verify that the operating voltage and temperature conditions in the application do not exceed the component’s ratings.

Usage recommendations

Use this polypropylene film capacitor in circuits where low loss and stable capacitance are necessary — for example, power supply smoothing, audio coupling and timing networks. Avoid exceeding the 400V rating and provide adequate spacing for high-voltage applications; follow standard soldering practices and allow cooling after soldering to preserve dielectric properties.
