160225K63G-F

Film capacitors are electronic components that are sometimes referred to as “dielectrics” because they generate a thin insulative barrier between two conductive surfaces. The 160225K63G-F is an example of a film capacitor. It is a cylindrical capacitor designed for AC use and is ideal for applications such as pulse forming networks, interstage couplings, high frequency bypass, and small signal coupling/couplers.

The 160225K63G-F is constructed with a metallized polypropylene film as the dielectric material. This film is coated with a thin metal layer such as aluminum, copper, or silver. The two conductive layers are separated by an air gap, which makes it ideal for high frequency applications. The capacitance of this device is determined by the type of film used, its physical size, and the voltage rating.

The working principle of a film capacitor is based on the electrostatic principle. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, an electric field is created between the two conductive plates. This field reshapes the film material, causing the opposite charges to attract. As the voltage increases, the electric field intensifies, causing the capacitance to decrease. When the voltage is removed, the electrostatic field dissipates, allowing the material to return to its original shape. This is known as dielectric relaxation.

In terms of application fields, film capacitors are mainly used in AC circuits for high frequency bypass, filtering, and voltage spike suppression. These capacitors can also be used as coupling capacitors in circuits which require higher frequencies than electrolytic capacitors can provide. Additionally, they are used for higher power applications such as motor start and TV line filtering, as well as pulse forming networks and other high voltage applications.

The 160225K63G-F is an excellent performer in many applications. Its excellent dielectric construction, reliable performance, and wide capacitance range make it ideal for a variety of applications including pulse forming networks, interstage couplings, high frequency bypass, and small signal coupling/couplers.
