Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are a type of capacitor composed of thin plastic films, with flat tin-foil electrodes on each side. They come in various configurations and sizes, with the most common types being polyester, polycarbonate, polypropylene, and polystyrene film capacitors. Film capacitors are widely used in consumer electronics, power supplies, and other electrical applications due to their low cost, robustness, and noise reduction properties.

It is able to operate in temperatures ranging from -40 to +105 degrees Celsius, and has a capacitance of 1000 pF. In terms of size, the BFC2370GE562 measures 3mm x 5mm x 6mm, making it suitable for compact applications.

Application Field

The BFC2370GE562 film capacitor is designed to substantially reduce noise in application circuits. It is typically used in communications and power equipment, such as base stations, digital cameras, and power supplies. It is also useful for filtering out interference in high-density multi-layered circuit boards.

Working Principle

The BFC2370GE562 works by storing electric charge between its two plates. When current flows through the capacitor, it produces an electric field which causes the electric charge to be stored and released in rapid succession. This rapid charge exchange is what reduces noise in circuits. The capacitance of the capacitor is determined by its construction, with larger capacitances available in larger batteries.

The dielectric material used in the BFC2370GE562 provides a dielectric barrier between the plates, allowing the charge to be stored. The small size of the capacitor also helps reduce noise because it reduces the amount of resistance between the two plates. The insulation strength of the capacitor also reduces noise in damp and humid environments.
