Working Principle

The BFC2370GE182 is a film capacitor designed to provide a combination of high capacitance, low energy losses, and excellent high-frequency performance. The capacitor is designed with a two-layer construction, which consists of two layers of film and aluminum foil. The dielectric, or the material between the two plates, is a combination of two dielectric materials, a high-k material and a low-k material. The capacitance of the capacitor is determined by the size and material of the dielectric between the two plates.

The BFC2370GE182 is designed to minimize energy losses and maximize performance. The capacitor utilizes an advanced self-healing process, which allows it to continue working under both overload and surge conditions. This self-healing process prevents any potential damage to the capacitor due to overload.

The BFC2370GE182 is designed for operation in extreme temperatures and high humidity environments. It is rated for a maximum operating temperature of up to 105°C and a relative humidity of 95%. The capacitor is also rated for a minimum ambient temperature of -40°C.
