Explore CBB60, CBB61 & MPP Capacitors for AC Applications

When designing AC-powered systems, selecting the right capacitor ensures efficiency, durability, and consistent performance. In this article, we’ll explore the differences between jb’s CBB60, CBB61, and MPP capacitors—and how each fits specific AC applications.

CBB60, CBB61, and MPP: What's the Difference?

All three types are designed for AC operation, but with distinct strengths. Here's a quick comparison:

Model	Application	Case Type	Capacitance	Voltage
CBB60	Motor run (pumps, washing machines)	Round plastic	1–100μF	250/450VAC
CBB61	Fan motors, compact appliances	Square plastic	1–20μF	250/450VAC
MPP	AC filtering, PFC circuits	Film (metallized polypropylene)	Customizable	250–630VAC

Why Use jb’s MPP Capacitors in AC Circuits?

jb’s MPP capacitors are built for low loss, high insulation resistance, and long life in high-frequency AC circuits. These are commonly used in:

• Ballasts and lighting systems
• Power factor correction (PFC)
• Industrial filtering units

With excellent self-healing properties and stable electrical behavior, they’re a trusted choice for demanding applications.

Compact and Stable: JBR Series Trimmers for Circuit Tuning

Modern electronics demand components that are both compact and reliable. As PCBs get smaller and applications more complex, trimming potentiometers have become essential for ensuring accurate and stable circuit tuning.

The JBR Series from jb Capacitors is designed to meet this challenge, combining miniature size with stable electrical performance.

1. Compact Designs for Space-Constrained Applications

For handheld devices, communication modules, or IoT hardware, board space is always limited. The JBR-065 model solves this by offering a miniature footprint with top-adjust design — making precise tuning possible even in tight layouts.

Common applications:

• Wireless transmitters and receivers
• Medical devices with limited enclosure space
• Compact consumer electronics requiring fine tuning

2. Stable Electrical Performance Over Time

Size alone is not enough — stability matters. The JBR-3309, a sealed general-purpose trimmer, maintains consistent resistance values even after repeated adjustments. Its sealed design resists moisture and dust, making it ideal for high-humidity or field applications.

Key features across the series:

• Tight resistance tolerance
• Low rotational torque for smooth adjustment
• Excellent aging characteristics

3. Built for Real-World Engineering Needs

The JBR series is developed with practical engineering requirements in mind:

• Resistance range from 10Ω to 2MΩ
• Through-hole mounting for robust mechanical reliability
• Top or side adjustment options for flexible layouts
• Up to 200 mechanical adjustment cycles

These trimmers are widely used for offset voltage tuning, gain control, and other fine adjustments in analog and mixed-signal circuits.
