Reliable Filtering with Suntan TS09S Metallized Film Capacitor

  Suntan Technology Company Limited---- All Kinds of Capacitors

Reliable Filtering with Suntan TS09S Metallized Film Capacitor

Designed for Consistent AC Filtering

In modern AC-powered systems, clean and stable current flow is critical—not only for performance but for extending the life of connected components. The Suntan TS09S Metallized Film Capacitor is engineered to deliver dependable filtering in such environments, offering a well-balanced combination of thermal stability, low loss, and mechanical durability.

Whether in industrial automation, power modules, or home appliances, ripple suppression and consistent filtering are key. The TS09S offers capacitance options from 0.047μF to 9μF, providing flexibility for circuit designers to tune performance without compromising reliability.

Its wide voltage selection and 40/85/56 climatic category allow it to maintain consistent capacitance and filtering performance—even under prolonged temperature and humidity stress.

Construction That Ensures Reliability

The TS09S adopts a metallized film structure with a thermoset resin-filled plastic case. This design is not only flame-retardant (UL 94 V-0), but also protects the internal element from vibration, dust, and thermal shock.

In addition, the internal layout utilizes series construction to increase safety margins and prevent catastrophic failure modes often seen in lower-tier alternatives.

Why It Works for Filtering – Not Just Specification, but Real-World Performance

Unlike general-purpose film capacitors, the TS09S minimizes internal loss and maintains impedance stability across frequency shifts common in AC environments. This helps suppress EMI noise, improve waveform purity, and reduce thermal strain on adjacent components.

Designers often overlook the mechanical endurance of filtering capacitors—but in systems running continuously, especially near motors or switching devices, this matters. The TS09S addresses this with both low ESR and tight tolerances in critical parameters.

Applications

While the TS09S is often associated with power conversion, it’s equally valuable in:

  • AC filters in HVAC controllers
  • Output smoothing in UPS systems
  • Surge suppression in modular power units
  • Harmonic reduction in motor drivers

Its shape and terminal design also make it ideal for tight-layout designs or direct PCB mounting with minimal parasitic effects.

Summary

If your priority is clean AC signal filtering, long-lasting thermal stability, and a capacitor that can hold its own in real-world installations, the Suntan TS09S is a solid, quiet workhorse ready to support your system for the long haul.

Not All TRIACs Are Equal – Avoid Trigger Failures with Smarter Component Selection

Suntan Technology Company Limited

---- All Kinds of Capacitors 

In AC switching design, one of the most dangerous assumptions is this:
“All TRIACs work the same.”

At first glance, many TRIACs may share similar voltage and current ratings. But if you're selecting components solely based on those numbers, you're likely missing key parameters that directly affect real-world performance—especially when it comes to trigger stability and load compatibility.

Let’s break the myth and look at what really matters when choosing a TRIAC.

Why the Wrong TRIAC Can Undermine Your Design

A TRIAC that’s mismatched to your application can lead to:

  • Inconsistent triggering
  • Device misfiring under light load
  • Control failure in inductive systems like motors or transformers
  • Excessive heating or reduced reliability

And often, the cause isn’t the load itself, but the gate trigger current (IGT) or latching current (IL) not aligning with your drive or load conditions.

What Smart Engineers Actually Look At

Parameter Why It Matters
IGT (Gate Trigger Current) Determines how easily the TRIAC turns on. If your circuit has weak gate drive (e.g., opto-isolator), a high IGT will cause misfiring.
IL (Latching Current) If your load is small or varies, IL must be low enough to keep the TRIAC conducting.
Package & Thermal Limits For continuous power control (e.g., heaters), TO-220 with heatsink is preferred. Compact designs might require TO-126.
Certifications & Reliability Industrial or appliance-grade products may require specific specs.

Design Smarter with Suntan TRIACS

Suntan’s TRIAC portfolio is designed with this principle in mind: one size does not fit all.

Whether you need low-IGT TRIACs for microcontroller-driven loads, or high-current TO-220 packages for motor switching, Suntan offers reliable options:

  • BT134-600E – 4A, 600V, IGT 5mA (TO-126)
  • BT138-800E – 12A, 800V, IGT 5mA (TO-220)
  • BT139-800T – 16A, 800V, IGT 10mA (TO-220)
  • BTA16-800B – 16A, 800V, IGT 35mA (TO-220 high power)

Explore full datasheets and application fit to ensure proper matching.

Final Thought

Choosing the wrong TRIAC is like using the wrong fuse — you won’t realize until it fails.
Engineers who take the time to match the right trigger specs and thermal profiles see fewer failures, smoother control, and higher long-term reliability.

Don’t let the wrong TRIAC compromise your design
