Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as plastic film capacitors or dielectric film capacitors, are electrical components with a solid dielectric insulation and excellent electrical characteristics that enable them to be used in a wide variety of applications. A film capacitor is made by depositing multiple layers of an insulation material, such as film, onto a substrate in a vacuum and then laminating the structure. The resulting capacitor can have a very low series resistance, and series and parallel capacitance values that are predictable, repeatable, and reliable.

170224J630NF Application Field

The 170224J630NF is a film capacitor from Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. It is a X7R-type dielectric film capacitor, meaning it is a ceramic type capacitor with a temperature coefficient of ±15%: the capacitance does not change significantly as temperature varies from -55°C to +125°C. This makes it suitable for use in applications that require stability over a wide temperature range, such as automotive circuit applications, power supplies, and high-amplitude and high-frequency switching circuits.

170224J630NF Working Principle

The working principle of the 170224J630NF is based on the behavior of two conductive plates, separated by a dielectric material. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor plates, an electric field is created between them; this electric field affects how current flows through the capacitor. The electric field will also interact with the dielectric material between the plates, causing it to become polarized. This polarization increases the electric field, thus increasing the capacitance (the ability of the capacitor to store/release energy).

The dielectric material used in the construction of the 170224J630NF provides the capacitor with a high degree of insulation, which ensures stability and reliability of the component over time and temperature variations. Additionally, its axial lead terminals make it suitable for use in tight spaces like PC boards.
