BFC2370CH274 Datasheet/PDFFilm Capacitors
Film capacitors, also known as film dielectric capacitors, are constructed using either a polyester, polypropylene, or polycarbonate film as the dielectric material. These capacitors have been used in a variety of applications as they have a very stable, predictable behavior and a high dielectric constant. One example of a popular film capacitor model, the BFC2370CH274, is used for applications such as decoupling, bypass, power supply filtering, and signal filtering.
BFC2370CH274 Application Field and Working Principle
The BFC2370CH274 is a high-voltage, high-temperature, low-profile, surface-mount film capacitor. It is designed to offer excellent durability, temperature stability, and reliability in a variety of applications where a permanent charge is needed. The BFC2370CH274 is ideal for applications that require a high-voltage, large-capacitance, and low-power-loss structure.
The capacitance range of the BFC2370CH274 is between 0.1 µF – 15 µF, and its standard operating voltage is between 300 – 5,000V AC. The effective series Resistance (ESR) is between 0.25µΩ and 7µΩ. It is rated to operate reliably between a temperature range of -55℃ to +85℃.
The working principle of the BFC2370CH274 is based on the Faraday’s law of electrostatics, which states that the voltage created between two conducting surfaces (i.e., the two electrodes of the capacitor) is proportional to the amount of charge stored in them. The electrodes are insulated from each other by a dielectric material, in this case a polymer film. When a voltage is applied across these conducting surfaces, an electric field is produced, and the electrons in the conductive material are drawn to one side of the capacitor, thereby creating a charge on the electrodes.
The capacitance of the BFC2370CH274 is determined by the area of the electrodes, the thickness of the dielectric layer, and the dielectric constant of the dielectric material used. As such, the capacitance of the capacitor can be tuned according to the application. The ability to provide a high capacitance and high voltage makes the BFC2370CH274 an ideal choice for use in many applications.
The BFC2370CH274 is designed to operate within the range of temperatures and applications outlined above. Care must be taken when operating the capacitor in extreme environments. The ratings must be observed in order to ensure that the capacitor can operate reliably under the desired conditions.
