Default Re: Miniature relay Suppressor

Id have thought the requirement for Class X is not as clear here, as they're primarily designed to be across the line, where a dead short can be incredibly dangerous and a fire risk.

I suppose a non class X could develop shorts over time and generate significant heat to be a mild fire risk or melt said capacitor, but if in a metal or other non flammable enclosure and the application fused as conservatively as possible this all mitigates that risk. What do you think Argus? Perhaps such a short would burn itself out?
