473PPA202K

Film Capacitors are electronic components that store electrical energy. Generally composed of two infinite strips of metal foils separated by a thin non-conductive, dielectric material. The 473PPA202K is a type of Polypropylene Film Capacitor. The thickness of the layer of polypropylene insulation from which the name comes from is generally between 0.04 and 0.08 mm. With a distinction being that the film capacitors offers a lower dielectric loss, higher stability, and higher power density.

The range and nature of applications for the 473PPA202K Polypropylene film capacitor is quite broad. As it can be used in many consumer electronic devices. Such as home audio systems, televisions, computers, laptops, car audio systems, projector speakers, and many others. Furthermore, the 473PPA202K is also used in industries such as power supplies, energy management, RF and automotive industry. Due to its ability to store electrical energy and two metal foils separated by a dielectric, it is power and space efficient, making it ideal for the different uses mentioned.

The working principle of the 473PPA202K Polypropylene film capacitor is fairly simple and efficient. Once connected to a source of electricity, the dielectric of the film capacitor allows a certain amount of electrical current to flow in-between the two foils. And this electrical current creates a positive and negative charge in the capacitor, thus storing energy. The component stores the energy and releases it at a rate determined by its capacitance. The more capacitance present in the component, the more energy it stores and the slower it releases it.

The 473PPA202K Polypropylene Film Capacitors are incredibly versatile, being capable of being utilized in a number of application fields and having a working principle, that is both simple and efficient. Due to the low dissipation, high capacitance and stability, this component continues to be a valued component in the electronics industry, being used both in consumer electronics, power supplies, energy management, RF and automotive fields.
