B32522C6224K Working Principle

The working principles of film capacitors are relatively simple. Film capacitors are made of two conducting surfaces separated by an insulating film. When a voltage is applied, electrons are attracted to one of the surfaces resulting in a positive charge. This induces an opposite charge on the second surface creating a field in between the two surfaces. The electrostatic field between the two conducting surfaces allows film capacitors to store a charge.

The B32522C6224K is a reliable, high quality film capacitor. It is a plastic film capacitor rated for 440volts and features excellent temperature stability. Its relatively low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL) make it suitable for a variety of power applications. The capacitor is also RoHS compliant, helping reduce strain on the environment.

In summary, the B32522C6224K is an excellent plastic film capacitor for applications in signal processing, power supplies, power grid autotransformers and lighting. It has the capacity for high frequency operation and greater than normal peak currents, making it suitable for a variety of AC and DC applications. In addition, its low ESR and ESL help to ensure reliability and stability, while its RoHS compliance helps reduce strain on the environment.
