Film capacitors are a type of capacitor that use plastic film as the dielectric. Examples of such plastics are polyester (PET), polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene-carbon (PPC) and polyphenylene sulfide (PPS). The variety of materials used in film capacitors allow for a wide range of different capacities, operating temperatures, sizes, voltages, and form factors. For any given application, there is a film capacitor that is most suitable for its requirements.

The 135HC3600K2EM8 is a polypropylene-carbon film capacitor that comes in a standard radial style. It has a voltage rating of 250V and has a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. Its capacitance ranges from 4.7nF to 100nF with a tolerance of 10%. Its operating frequency is from 0.1kHz to 100kHz. These characteristics make it a suitable choice for a number of electronic applications.

The 135HC3600K2EM8 is most commonly used in power line filtering and loudspeaker protection applications. It is also well-suited for use in switch mode power supplies and LED lighting. In these applications, the 135HC3600K2EM8 is used to reduce high frequency noise and suppress voltage spikes. By providing a low impedance path to ground, the capacitor can help to protect sensitive electronic components from damage caused by voltage transients.

The working principle of the 135HC3600K2EM8 is relatively straightforward. When an alternating voltage is applied across its terminals, the capacitor behaves as a charge storage device. This means that it stores the energy of the applied voltage as electrical charge on its plates and releases it again when the voltage changes polarity. The capacitor’s capacitance value determines this stored energy, which can be then used to provide a low impedance path to ground for unwanted noise or voltage spikes.

In conclusion, the 135HC3600K2EM8 is a polypropylene-carbon film capacitor with a voltage rating of 250V and a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. Its capacitance ranges from 4.7nF to 100nF with an operating frequency from 0.1kHz to 100kHz. Its most common applications are in power line filtering, loudspeaker protection, switch mode power supplies, and LED lighting, and it works by providing a low impedance path to ground for suppressing voltage transients.
