Kingtronics International Company — Inspired by Innovation
When designing EMI filters or power supplies, choosing the right X2 film capacitor directly affects safety and long-term reliability. Certified X2 devices prevent insulation breakdown, reduce electromagnetic interference, and help meet global compliance.
Why Certification Matters
A qualified X2 capacitor must endure repetitive AC stress and transients. Kingtronics FKT-MX, rated at 310 VAC, carries VDE, ENEC, and UL approvals in accordance with IEC 60384-14. It is designed for across-the-line EMI suppression in power supplies, LED drivers, and industrial control systems where high stability and low loss are essential.
