Understanding X1 Class Film Capacitors: Why jb’s JFT Series Is a Reliable EMI Filter Choice

In AC applications where EMI suppressionsafety compliance, and compact design are essential, choosing the right Class X1 film capacitor is critical to ensure product stability and regulatory compatibility. The jb JFT series is purpose-built for these demands—delivering consistent electrical performance, compact dimensions, and complete X1-class certification.

What is a Class X1 Capacitor?

X1 capacitors are safety-certified components designed for use across the line (L-N) to suppress differential-mode interference in AC circuits. As defined in IEC 60384-14:

  • They withstand impulses up to 4kV, making them suitable for industrial or commercial-grade environments.

  • Built with fail-safe, self-healing construction, they maintain stability under harsh electrical stress.

If your application involves switching power supplies, motor drives, HVAC controls, or AC line filtering, an X1-rated capacitor like the JFT is not optional—it’s essential.
