Film Capacitors

A film capacitor is a type of capacitor made of a plastic film as the dielectric with aluminum, copper or other types of metal electrodes on either side of the film. The metal electrodes may be printed or deposited by various processes such as sputtering. The distance between the metal electrodes can be varied to adjust the capacitance of the film capacitor. The physical construction of a film capacitor can vary, with the most common configurations consisting of cylindrical, wound, molded or rectangular forms.

BFC236856152 Application Field and Working Principle

The BFC236856152 is a film capacitor that offers users an ideal solution for applications such as power supplies, voltage regulators, and dc-to-dc converters. It is a radial-leaded device with capacitance values ranging from 0.01 μF to 0.47 μF. This capacitor is highly durable, resistant to corrosion, and maintains good performance even in prolonged and DC-biased conditions. As its type code suggests, the BFC236856152 has a voltage rating of 50V.

The BFC236856152 is a non-polarized device, so it operates at any polarity when connected to a DC power source. It works by storing an electric charge in an electrical field created between two very thin conductive plates that are separated by an insulating film. When the capacitor is connected to a DC voltage source, the plates charge up to the source voltage and capacitance is formed between the two plates. When the capacitor is connected to an AC voltage source, the capacitance is changed periodically, based on the frequency and amplitude of the voltage waveform.

The BFC236856152 capacitor has a low ESR, making it an ideal choice for applications with high ripple currents. It also has good insulation properties making it suitable for high-voltage systems. Additionally, this capacitor is highly temperature-stable and has a long service life.
