The BF024I0153J is a film capacitor that can be used in a variety of applications. The following is an overview of the application field and working principle for the BF024I0153J.

BF024I0153J Application Field

The BF024I0153J film capacitor can be used in a variety of situations. This device is commonly used in power supply noise filtering, absorption of pulses in power supplies, absorption of interferences in switching circuits and general decoupling of electric circuits.

The capacitor can also be used in power electronic converters or switch mode power supplies as an energy storage element. The BF024I0153J can also be used in audio devices, such as receivers and speakers, to improve sound quality.

BF024I0153J Working Principle

The BF024I0153J film capacitor works on the principle of a capacitance, which is the ability to store an electrical charge between two plates. A typical film capacitor consists of two metal plates which have been separated by a dielectric material. This dielectric material is the key to the capacitor’s function and is usually made from polyethylene, polypropylene, or air.

When a voltage is applied across the two plates, electrons will flow from one plate to the other. The electrons will build up on one plate as they are pushed away from the other. This charge difference between the plates is known as capacitance and is measured in Farads. As the voltage is increased the amount of charge between the two plates will also increase, resulting in a larger capacitance.

The BF024I0153J film capacitor has a capacitance of 47nF and a maximum working voltage of 350 Vac. This capacitance allows for the capacitor to filter out high frequency signals, stabilize extreme voltages, protect against surges and decouple a range of circuitry.
