ECQ-E2153KF

Film capacitors are electrical capacitors that use a thin plastic film as the dielectric. The plastic film is extruded or wrapped around a spool to create the capacitor body. As with any capacitor, the two electrodes, or “plates”, are separated by a dielectric material, in this case a thin plastic film. The plastic film may be epoxy, polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene naphthalate, polystyrene and polycarbonate, depending on the capacitor’s application and the required characteristics of the film. Film capacitors may be axial leaded, radial leaded, or molded in various configurations for different applications.

The ECQ-E2153KF is a film capacitor from Panasonic that belongs to the ECQ family. The ECQ-E2153KF is a type of radial leaded radial capacitor that features a molded plastic body with electrodes, each consisting of a pair of electrodes connected in parallel. The molded plastic body is light weight, low profile, and has an impact resistance rating of up to 3 meters. There is an insulating layer between each of the two electrodes, which helps to minimize the series resistance and prevent arcing or sparking.

The ECQ-E2153KF is ideal for use in a variety of applications. Its features make it suitable for use in AC line bypass applications, motor drives, power supplies, automotive ECUs, and audio circuits. Its high temperature rating of 105 degrees Celsius makes it suitable for use in medical and aerospace applications, and its low ESL rating makes it well suited for use in noise-sensitive circuits such as digital communication systems.

The ECQ-E2153KF has a working principle which relies on the movement of electrons between the two electrodes. When an AC voltage is applied to the capacitor, the electrons move from one electrode to the other, causing the electrical charge within the capacitor to increase and decrease with each cycle of the applied voltage. This creates an effective filter which can be used to reduce noise, ripple, and reduce the amount of harmonics in a circuit. The parameters used to predict the performance of the capacitor are C (capacitance), ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), L (inductance), and Dissipation Factor.

In summary, the ECQ-E2153KF is a type of film capacitor made by Panasonic. It is a radial leaded radial capacitor with a molded plastic body, suitable for a variety of applications including AC line bypass, motor drives, power supplies, automotive ECUs, and audio circuits. Its working principle relies on the movement of electrons between the two electrodes when an AC voltage is applied to the capacitor, creating an effective filter which can reduce noise, ripple, and harmonics in a circuit. The parameters used to predict its performance are C, ESR, L, and Dissipation Factor.
