Working Principle

The 170105K160JE is a polypropylene film capacitor. This type of film capacitor consists of two conductive metal layers, an insulator film and a dielectric. The conductive metal layers are typically made of aluminum, tinned copper or electrolytic copper. The insulator film is made of polypropylene, which provides excellent insulation and environmental protection. Finally, the dielectric is typically a ceramic material, which gives the film capacitor excellent electrical characteristics.

When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the electric field created across the two conductive metal layers causes electrons to flow from one layer to the other, thus creating a line of electric flux between the layers. As the electric flux passes through the dielectric, it creates a capacitance, which is effectively a stored energy. When the voltage is stopped, the stored energy slowly dissipates over time.

In conclusion, the 170105K160JE film capacitor offers excellent performance in high frequency and power supply applications. Its low ESR, excellent frequency characteristics, and high ripple current capabilities make the 170105K160JE a great choice for applications that require these features.
