X1Y1 and X1Y2 Safety Capacitors: Product Types, Applications, and Functions
X1Y1 and X1Y2 are types of safety capacitors. X1Y1 capacitors typically use metalized polypropylene film as the dielectric and motor, featuring small size, high dielectric constant ceramic medium, low high-frequency loss, strong overcurrent capacity, and long lifespan. They are often encapsulated with flame-retardant epoxy resin. X1Y2 capacitors generally use ceramic materials, with high dielectric constant, small size, and good high-temperature resistance. Both types come in various capacitance ranges, with X1Y1 usually offering larger capacitance values than X1Y2.

Applications
AC Line Filters: X1Y1 and X1Y2 capacitors are widely used in AC line filters to effectively suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) on power lines, ensuring the normal operation of electronic equipment.
Switching Power Supplies and Adapters: In primary-secondary coupling of switching power supplies and adapters, X1Y1 capacitors can reduce electromagnetic interference between the primary and secondary sides, improving power supply reliability and stability. X1Y2 capacitors are also used in related circuits to eliminate high-frequency noise and enhance power quality .
LED Power Supplies: In LED power supplies, X1Y1 capacitors help filter out power line interference, providing stable power to LEDs and improving lighting effects and lifespan. X1Y2 capacitors can effectively suppress high-frequency interference in LED circuits, reducing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues.
Electronic Ballasts: X1Y1 capacitors are used in electronic ballasts to eliminate harmonic interference on power lines, ensuring stable lamp operation. X1Y2 capacitors can filter out high-frequency noise in electronic ballast circuits, improving performance and reliability .
Solar Inverters: X1Y1 capacitors are applied in solar inverters to suppress electromagnetic interference generated during power conversion, ensuring inverter stability and reliability. X1Y2 capacitors can filter out high-frequency interference in solar inverter circuits, enhancing EMC performance.
Functions
EMI Suppression: X1Y1 and X1Y2 capacitors can effectively filter out common-mode and differential-mode interference on lines power, reducing electromagnetic interference between electronic devices and improving electromagnetic compatibility. This ensures stable operation of devices in complex electromagnetic environments .
Safety Protection: As safety capacitors, they meet stringent safety standards and certifications. In case of capacitor failure, they prevent electric shocks and ensure user safety. For example, when power is disconnected, the voltage at the power plug terminals drops below 30% of the rated operating voltage within two seconds.
Energy Storage and Discharge: They can store and release electrical energy during circuit operation, providing necessary energy support for devices and improving circuit stability and reliability. For instance, in power supply circuits, they store energy during power-on and release it during power-off to maintain circuit stability.
Voltage Stabilization: X1Y1 and X1Y2 capacitors can stabilize voltage in circuits, reducing voltage fluctuations and ripple, and providing stable power to devices. This extends device lifespan and enhances performance.
