Working Principle

Film capacitors are typically composed of two metal plates made of aluminum, separated by a thin plastic dielectric. The dielectric is usually made of polyester, polypropylene or polycarbonate. An alternating current (AC) passing through the capacitor causes an electric field, which is allowed to pass through the dielectric material and form a current flow.

The current flow is capable of increasing the energy stored in the capacitor, which can lead to a voltage increase or a decrease. However, the energy stored in the film capacitor dissipates due to the dielectric\'s electrical resistance. This makes the capacitor ideal for applications such as snubber circuits, where a high energy dissipation is desired.

The capacitance of the 245LC3500K5LM8 film caps is determined by the ratio between the amount of charge stored in the capacitor and the applied voltage. The capacitance increases with the voltage, and its capacitance will drastically decrease at higher temperatures.

The 245LC3500K5LM8 film caps have a high surge current rating, which is used to protect the capacitor against short-circuits or extreme temperature changes. The surge current rating also allows the caps to withstand high voltage operations and reduce EMI/RFI noise.
