Miniature ceramic plate capacitors Class 2, 63 V and 100 V (DC)
(flanged types)
FEATURES
•General purpose
•Coupling and decoupling
•Space saving.
APPLICATIONS
In electronic circuits where non-linear
change of capacitance with
temperature is permissible and low
losses are not essential, i.e. coupling
and decoupling. Because of their
small size the capacitors are suitable
for use in circuitry with high
component density.
DESCRIPTION
The capacitors consist of a thin
rectangular ceramic plate, both sides
of which are metallized. The tinned
connecting leads are secured using a
high melting point solder. The
capacitors are encapsulated in epoxy
lacquer, which is resistant to all
commonly used cleaning solvents.
They have small dimensions and
narrow tolerances on the lead
spacing. The leads are provided with
a flange, which guarantees that the
leads are free of lacquer, and its
shape allows soldering gasses to
escape freely, ensuring excellent
solderability. This makes the
capacitors suitable for both
hand-mounting and automatic
insertion. Fig.1 Outlines.

(flanged types)
Marking
The body of the capacitor is tan
coloured. The capacitors also have a
colour mark on top indicating the
temperature dependency of the
capacitance:
yellow for type 2222 630 .....
blue for type 2222 640 .....
green for type 2222 629 .....
The capacitance value is indicated
by a marking code in a contrasting
colour on the body. Refer to Tables 3,
4 and 5 for marking codes.
Mounting
When bending, cutting or flattening,
the leads should be relieved of the
applied load by supporting them at
the capacitor body.
Soldering conditions:
max. 265 °C, max. 10 s.
The capacitors are suitable for
mounting on printed-circuit boards
(hand-mounting or automatic
insertion).
Physical dimensions

Notes
1. Unless indicated in Tables 3, 4 and 5, the thickness of the capacitors does
not exceed 2.3 mm.
2. Tolerances are given between parentheses.
