Film Capacitors

The BFC236852332 is part of the film capacitor family, one of the most common types of capacitor used today. Film capacitors are widely used in a variety of applications because they offer a variety of advantages over other types of capacitors, such as low capacitance tolerances, long life, high voltage ratings, and high stability.

Application Fields

Film capacitors are suitable for a variety of uses ranging from audio and power supply components to signal conditioning and filtering applications. Their popularity is due in part to their high stability, even under changing conditions such as temperature and vibration. In addition, these capacitors are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate practically any form factor.

Some common applications for film capacitors include power supply components, lighting and heating, telecommunication equipment, automotive systems, AC power line filters, and solar power systems. These capacitors are also commonly used in medical applications due to their low leakage current and high dielectric strength.

Working Principle

A film capacitor consists of two foils that are insulated from one another with paper or plastic film. An electrically conductive element such as carbon or metal foil is placed on the paper or plastic film which acts as the dielectric material. When a voltage is applied across the two foils, an electric field forms between them, creating a capacitance. This capacitance is the amount of charge stored by the capacitor.

The amount of charge stored and the amount of capacitance depend on the physical characteristics of the capacitor, such as the size, shape, and thickness of the film, as well as the type of dielectric material used. As the voltage or frequency of the signal applied to the capacitor changes, the capacitance changes accordingly.

Film capacitors are ideal for high frequency applications due to their low parasitic inductance and high dielectric strength. They also have excellent temperature stability, making them suitable for use in temperature-sensitive applications.
