BFC2370EL184

Film capacitors, also known as Plastic Film Capacitors, are made of thin plastic films covered with a metal film electrode on each side, providing great precision, stability, and insulation. The BFC2370EL184 is a part of this type of capacitor that is popularly employed for various electrical applications due to its great performance in specific field.

The BFC2370EL184 is rated at 25V with an operating temperature from -30°C to 70°C and is suitable for use in a wide range of applications. Primarily, it is used in areas where high reliability, stability, and low self-inductance are required. These areas include high-end audio equipment, power supplies, high-end medical equipment, and power amplifiers.

This type of Film Capacitor has a low ESR which means it can withstand high current with minimal losses. It also has overvoltage protection, oscillation suppression, switching noise reduction, and smoothing capacitance. Its high-inrush current handling capability makes it ideal for power supply filtering and power factor correction.

Aside from its wide spectrum of applications, the BFC2370EL184 also has a notable working principle. This capacitor works by creating a constant, continuous voltage across its terminals. This voltage is generated by the electric field within the capacitor, when a capacitance is adjacent to one or more of its terminals.

The capacitance forms when a small space between two conductors is filled with a dielectric material such as air, a paper sheet, a plastic film or a ceramic block. As each conductor is connected to different voltage sources, this creates a charge imbalance between the two conductors.

The electric field between the conductors creates a potential difference, which causes the thin film to become polarized and attract its closely-related positive and negative charges. This stored charge then determines the capacitance of the capacitor and it can be released or stored as needed.

It is this mechanism that makes the BFC2370EL184 under Film Capacitors, highly suitable for use in many applications. The constant, continuous voltage it creates across its terminals makes it ideal for a wide range of power, audio and medical applications.
