104PPB202K

Film Capacitors

A film capacitor is an electrical device is used for storing energy in an electric field, and it achieved by sandwiching a thin film between two conductors. The 104PPB202K film capacitor is a product of Pulse Electronics, and a member of the NPB PulseCap family of polypropylene film capacitors. It has a capacitance of 0.10µF, rated voltage of 200VAC, and a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. The 104PPB202K is available for purchase as part of a tin-plated Radial Lead Set for through-hole mounting and can also be purchased in RGB / TRGB packages.

Uses for the 104PPB202K Film Capacitor

The 104PPB202K film capacitor is mainly used in the circuit designs of low-voltage, high-frequency switching power supplies and frequency conversion dc power supplies. It is also used in power line filter applications such as RF broadcast receiving system, digital television equipment and microwave oven. It can also be used in high-voltage, high-temperature and accelerated environments.

Working Principle of the 104PPB202K

The 104PPB202K is a polypropylene film capacitor, which is composed of a pair of conductive plates and a dielectric material between them. The basic operating principle of the film capacitor is to build an electric field between the two conductors, allowing electrons to move freely from one plate to the other. As the capacitor is charged, it stores the energy of the applied current in the electric field. When the current is removed, the electric field dissipates and the residual charge stored in the film capacitor is available to the circuit.

The 104PPB202K film capacitor is constructed with Pulse Electronics’ customized PulseCap™ technology, which maximizes the construction for necessary electronic performance while providing very good quality. This enables the capacitor to achieve a rated voltage of 200VAC, operating temperature of up to 85°C, and excellent linearity for both voltage and temperature performance.

Conclusion

The Pulse Electronics 104PPB202K is a high quality, reliable film capacitor that is used in a variety of applications and is ideal for high-voltage, high-temperature and accelerated environments. It is designed to provide quality performance with excellent linearity and long life. Pulse Electronics’ PulseCap™ technology guarantees that the 104PPB202K has superior construction to ensure electro-mechanical stability and consistent performance.
