Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as polypropylene capacitors, are passive electronic components that store electrical energy. They usually consist of two conductive surfaces separated by an insulation material called the dielectric. Film capacitors are available in a range of sizes, values and electrical characteristics to suit the specific needs of different applications.

160103K1000F-F application field and working principle

The 160103K1000F-F capacitors are designed for general purpose applications. The 160103K1000F-F capacitors offer an excellent temperature stability with a high volumetric efficiency. The improved dielectric characteristics provide increased capacitance and stable characteristics over a wide range of frequencies.

The working principle of a film capacitor is relatively simple. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, an electric field is generated between the two conductive surfaces that stores electrical energy. This stored electric field is then used to supply voltage to the capacitor upon demand.

The capacitor’s capacitance, or its ability to store electrical energy, is determined by the area of the conductive surfaces, the distance between them, and the relative permittivity of the dielectric material between them. This permittivity is expressed as a ratio of the electric field in the dielectric to that in empty space, and is measured in Farads (F).

The 160103K1000F-F capacitors have a capacitance rating of 1000F, which means they can store 1000 times the electric field at these specific conditions. The 160103K1000F-F capacitors also feature a high self-resonant frequency of up to 12.5MHz, meaning they can support higher frequency signals without losing capacitance.

In addition, the 160103K1000F-F capacitors have excellent voltage retention and have a temperature coefficient of dielectric constant of 3%/°C. This means they offer reliable performance over a wide range of temperatures and can withstand high voltages without sacrificing capacitance.

Overall, the 160103K1000F-F capacitors are a great choice for general purpose applications and provide reliable performance and good electrical characteristics. They offer excellent temperature stability and high volumetric efficiency with capacitance values up to 1000F and self-resonant frequencies up to 12.5MHz.
