Film capacitors, also known as plastic, film, plastic film, or even film dielectric capacitors, are a type of electrical capacitor using an insulator of plastic film as the dielectric. They tend to have far better high frequency characteristics than ceramic capacitors and much higher capacitance than glass capacitors. The B32520C3104K289 is a popular film capacitor manufactured by EPCOS.The application field of the B32520C3104K289 is quite extensive, mostly in the area of signal and power applications. These capacitors can be used as EMI filters, power smoothing capacitors, and capacitive divider networks. Its primary field of application is industry and home appliance motor drives, consumer electronics, power supplies, and power factor correction. Its low Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and high current level make it ideal for applications such as lighting ballasts, power line filter circuits and motor restart circuits.The working principle of the B32520C3104K289 is that of a non-polarized capacitor. This means that there is no preferred direction of the electrical current flow. It will provide the same capacitance regardless of the direction of current. This makes it ideal for applications such as noise suppression. Its capacitance is adjustable with a variety of temperatures, voltages, and frequencies. This capacitor uses a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film as its dielectric. This material is highly resistant to corona, tracking, and erosion. It is also very resilient to the effects of temperature and vibration, making it an ideal choice for high reliability applications. This makes the capacitor much more reliable in extreme conditions. The PET film also has very low dielectric losses, meaning that it can handle large currents without compromising its effective capacitance.In terms of its electrical characteristics, the B32520C3104K289 has a rated voltage of 250V, a capacitance of 10µF, and a tolerance of ±10%. The dissipation factor is 0.3% at 1 kHz and 20°C, the maximum voltage is 600V, and the insulation resistance is greater than 3000 MOhms. These electrical characteristics make it a very dependable and reliable device.Finally, when using the B32520C3104K289, it is important to remember to make sure the soldering temperature does not exceed the rated temperature of 350°C. It is also crucial to avoid any force applied to the terminals, as this could cause them to bend or break.Overall, the B32520C3104K289 is an excellent capacitor for a range of applications, from EMI filters to motor drives. Its excellent dielectric properties, low ESR, and reliable performance make it an excellent choice for any type of project requiring a high reliability film capacitor.
