Film Capacitors are manufactured using thin insulating materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), plastic laminates or paper dielectrics. They offer a higher electrolytic rate, allowing them to handle higher voltage applications. In comparison with ceramic capacitors, film capacitors have a much greater rated current capacity and a narrower temperature range. B32520C6152J is a type of film capacitor which has many features.

Application field

B32520C6152J is mainly used for power supply smoothing, and frequency dividing circuit, such as inverter, lighting, motor drive issue. It is also a superior-performance capacitor for resonant and filter circuit. As a great substitute of standard capacitors, the B32520C6152J offers a better ability to filter the electrostatic interference due to its great leakage current capability and high temperature rating. Additionally, its lower resonance frequency leads to the largest influence on the performance of capacitors in filter circuit.

Working Principle

A film capacitor operates by storing electric charge in a thin plastic film. The plastic film acts as the insulation material between two metal plates which have an applied voltage. When the applied voltage is increased, the electric field across the dielectric increases and hence the capacitance also increases. If the applied voltage crosses a certain limit, the electric field will be so strong that the film material can no longer store the charge and the insulation will break down, leading to a short circuit.

The B32520C6152J capacitor comes with radial-leaded, screw-terminal or snap-in mounting configurations. It is also designed to operate over a wide range of temperature ranging from -55°C to +105°C. This ensures maximum reliability in most industrial and commercial conditions such as vibration, humidity and extreme temperatures.

In contrast to ceramic capacitors, film capacitors have a greater capacitance loss over time and can be more susceptible to voltage and temperature changes. However, film capacitors are still very reliable and have been used in many applications, including high voltage applications.

Conclusion

The B32520C6152J film capacitor is widely used due to its wide ranges of features and specifications. It is a reliable capacitor which is resistant to temperature and current humidity changes. It can be used in a wide variety of applications from power supply smoothing to frequency dividing circuits. Moreover, it is available with various mounting configurations.
