Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are capacitors with thin plastic dielectric films, which are insulated between two metal plates in order to store electric charge. In comparison to other kinds of capacitors, film capacitors have a wide variety of advantages, such as high stability, low inductance, low dissipation factor and large capacitance. This makes them a popular choice for many types of electronic equipment, from high power switching applications to precision circuit designs.

B32674F3106K000 is a type of film capacitor with an XLPE dielectric and an aluminum style termination. It is available with a rated voltage of 300V and a capacitance of 10,000pF. It is also RoHS compliant and UL recognized.

Application Field of B32674F3106K000

B32674F3106K000 can be used in a wide range of applications, such as power supply circuits, switching power supplies, and frequency converters. It is also suitable for use in high-voltage (above 400 V) applications, such as high-voltage inverters, electrostatic generators, and high-voltage filter circuits. Additionally, it is used as a decoupling capacitor in power factor correction circuits, as well as in dielectric compensation applications.

Working Principle of B32674F3106K000

The working principle of film capacitors is similar to that of other capacitors. A film capacitor consists of two plates which are separated by a thin dielectric film. When an alternating electric field is applied to the capacitor, it stores energy in the form of an electric field between the plates. The amount of energy stored is proportional to the capacitance of the capacitor. In the case of B32674F3106K000, the capacitance is 10,000pF, and the energy stored is much greater than that of other types of capacitors.

The field that exists between the two plates can be used to create a circuit element with a reactive (seasonal) component. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, a current is created. This current is determined by the capacitance of the capacitor and can be used to filter signals and regulate voltages in circuits.

Film capacitors are highly reliable due to their stable characteristics over a wide range of temperature and operating conditions. This makes them suitable for use in performance-critical applications, such as avionics, automotive, and military systems.
