Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also commonly referred to as polyx film capacitors, are electrical components consisting of two or more electrical conductors separated by a dielectric, or non-conducting, material. They are primarily used for signal, bypass, filtering, and rectification applications in consumer electronics circuits. Film capacitors work by storing electric charge between two conductive plates. As a result, they are able to filter out unwanted high frequency signals in the form of alternating current (AC) and allow only desired signals in the form of direct current (DC) to pass through.

The 715P22456MA3 is a radial-leaded film capacitor. It features two tinplated copper alloy terminals. The 715P22456MA3 has a capacitance tolerance of +/-10 percent (5 percent for 5uF and higher), a voltage rating of 250VAC, and a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. It is designed for general purpose applications requiring strong direct current performance and high power handling.Applications of the 715P22456MA3 typically include AC and DC power supplies, radio frequency, and power circuit (e.g. DC-DC converters).

The 715P22456MA3 capacitor utilizes a specially selected film dielectric and is wound with highly conductive aluminum strip. This configuration ensures excellent DC sine-wave performance across the entire frequency range. It also offers very low temperature coefficients, high insulation resistance, and low dielectric loss. This makes the 715P22456MA3 a great choice for applications requiring high power handling but a narrow capacitance tolerance.One of the greatest advantages of this capacitor is its low ESR (equivalent series resistance), which allows it to provide very stable operation in high frequency circuits. Additionally, the 715P22456MA3 has an extensive range of mounting options, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

In summary, the 715P22456MA3 is a radial-leaded film capacitor designed for general purpose applications requiring strong direct current performance and high power handling. Its features and advantages make it an ideal choice for high frequency circuits, due to its low ESR and wide range of mounting options.
