Film Capacitors

The 104MSR100K is a film capacitor. It is a device that works by storing an electric charge in a thin film of insulation material. These devices are most commonly used in electronic circuits to store electrical energy and to prevent overloading.

Application Field

Film capacitors are often used in the electrical and electronic industry for a wide range of applications such as power supply smoothing, timing and triggering, data filtering, signal buffering and damping, and voltage coupling.

In audiophile markets, film capacitors are used to filter sound quality, provide greater clarity and reduce distortion. Many of these applications have requirements concerning size, operating temperature, current/voltage ratings, as well as voltage temperature derating. High-end audio equipment require film capacitors with low equivalent series resistance and high dielectric loss while low-end audio equipment can use film capacitors with lower dielectric strength.

Working Principle

Film capacitors are made up of two electrodes, where one is connected to the other via a dielectric, or insulating material. An electric charge is stored between the two when voltage is applied to the terminals. The dielectric material separates the two electrodes so that the charge is stored before it can return to its source.

The dielectric is an extremely thin layer of insulation material, typically ranging from 0.1μm to 10μm or more, which allows it to store relatively large amounts of energy while being extremely small in size. The dielectric also plays a role in determining the characteristics of the capacitor, such as its maximum voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and self-inductance.

When current is applied to the capacitor, it will begin to conduct electricity, passing current from one electrode to the other. The current is dependent on the capacitance of the device, which is determined by the size of the electrodes, the dielectric thickness, and the material properties of the dielectric.

The 104MSR100K is a film capacitor that has a maximum temperature range of -40 °C to 125 °C and a capacitance of 100 μF. It is rated at 35 volts and has a tolerance of ± 5%. This capacitor can be used in low-voltage and high-power applications, and is highly reliable due to its low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and dielectric strength.
