Introduction to Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as polyester capacitors, are a type of capacitors used in electronics and electrical components. They are similar in construction and characteristics to paper capacitors, but are made from a variety of quality polyester dyes and polyesters commonly used in the film industry. Because of their uniquely designed makeup and dielectric properties, film capacitors are especially useful in a wide array of applications because of their stability and long life compared to paper capacitors.

Applications of Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are commonly used in applications where high stability, low leakage, and long life are desired. Because of their unique properties, they are ideal for use in power supplies, automotive electronics, audio equipment, microcontrollers, and even industrial and military applications. There are several specific applications in which film capacitors are used including:

• Signal coupling, smoothing, and noise filtering
• Resonant circuits
• DC power supply (for film capacitors with DC rated voltage)
• Interference suppression on LED and electronic ballasts
• Industrial and military applications
• Automotive and medical electronics
