Working Principle

Film capacitors are based on electrolytics technology, and they utilize a dielectric film made out of polypropylene. In the 160223J400C-F capacitor, the dielectric film is made out of polypropylene, which is a flexible material that is lightweight and provides exceptional capacitance stability. The capacitor consists of two electrodes, one fixed and one moveable, which are connected through the dielectric layer. The electrode is connected to a contact on the middle layer of the capacitor which acts as a second plate.

When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, an electric field is created across the dielectric film that is responsible for the storage of the electrical charge. This alternating electric field affects the dielectric material in such a way that it stores a certain amount of energy as electrical charge. This stored energy remains in the capacitor, even after the voltage is removed, until the electric field is removed. This stored energy can then be used to create a current when a load is applied to the capacitor.
