Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as polymer film capacitors, are a type of electronic passive component that uses a plastic film as its dielectric. Commonly used film substrates are polyester, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfone and polyvinylidene fluoride. This type of capacitor is generally made using aluminum, polycarbonate, or polypropylene dielectric films. They are widely used in a range of applications from digital, analog, and switched-mode power supplies to industrial and consumer electronics.

BFC2370FB223 Application Field and Working Principle

The BFC2370FB223 is a film capacitor with a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to +150°C and a capacitance range of 1pF to 330pF. It is designed for high performance and reliability in the harshest of environments. It is widely used in various applications such as automotive, industrial, military, telecommunications, and medical.

The working principle of the BFC2370FB223 uses an alternating current (AC) voltage applied across two metallic plates on two different dielectric layers. The AC voltage creates an electric field on the dielectric layers, which generates an electrical charge, commonly known as capacitance. The capacitance of the capacitor can be calculated by the equation: C = KA/d, where K is the dielectric constant of the material, A is the area of the metallic plates, and d is the distance between the two plates. The dielectric material insulates the plates, so the AC voltage causes the capacitance of the capacitor to store energy as electrical charge.

The BFC2370FB223 has excellent stability and very low dissipation factor (DF) over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies, and is suitable for an incredibly wide variety of applications including electronic displays, medical equipment, general high voltage protection and voltage multiplier circuits, and satellite receiver circuitry.
