Film Capacitors

Capacitors are electronic devices that can store and release electric charge. Film capacitors are one type of capacitor, and they are made from thin films of plastic or metal deposited onto a substrate material such as aluminum oxide, polypropylene, or even paper. These films are then rolled or pressed together to form a capacitor.

The 760M20551-121 is a film capacitor designed for a variety of applications. It is a general-purpose film capacitor, suitable for handling capacitive currents that can reach peak values of up to 32 amperes. The 760M20551-121 has an insulation shock rating of 3 kV, and it is constructed with a polypropylene film and aluminum foil electrodes.

Application Field

The 760M20551-121 can be used in a wide range of applications, including:

• High-voltage snubber circuits
• General AC circuits
• Switching power supplies
• DC-DC power conversion circuits
• Motor drive circuits

The 760M20551-121 is well-suited to use in environments where high levels of vibration and shock need to be tolerated. It is also reliable over a wide temperature range.

Working Principle

Capacitors work by storing electrical energy in an electric field created between two conductive plates, typically made of aluminum foil. When a voltage is applied to the plates, electrons are drawn to the positively charged plate and repelled from the negatively charged plate, thus storing energy in the form of an electric field. The amount of energy that can be stored depends on the size of the plates, their distance apart, and the type of dielectric material used between them.

When the voltage is removed, the electric field is dissipated and the capacitor begins to release its stored energy. The amount of energy released and the speed with which it is released depends on the capacitance of the capacitor. The capacitance of the 760M20551-121 is 0.1µF, allowing it to release electric energy quickly.

Conclusion

The 760M20551-121 is a versatile film capacitor that can be used in a wide range of applications. It offers excellent operating performance and can endure environments with high levels of vibration and shock. The capacitor is also reliable over a wide temperature range, allowing it to operate safely in a variety of conditions.
