Film Capacitors

Contrary to their ceramic counterparts, film capacitors are made up of layers of plastic film such as polyester and polycarbonate. In a film capacitor, the electrodes are commonly formed of an extremely thin aluminum foil and the dielectric is a thin plastic film. These components make up a component called a film capacitor and comes in many different styles and shapes.

A BFC237168394 is a type of film capacitor produced by Bourns. It is a polycarbonate radial leaded capacitor, with a capacitance of 0.47 uF and a working voltage of 100 V. It is designed primarily for AC line carried applications due to its excellent stability characteristics. It is suitable for use in high-voltage and general-purpose applications in areas where a high level of reliability is required.

Working Principle of BFC237168394

The basis of a film capacitor’s functioning is the electric field created between opposite electrodes of the capacitor when voltage is applied. As the voltage increases, the electric field intensity in the gap between the electrodes increases which in turn increases the capacitance of the film capacitor. The BFC237168394 works on the principle of a metal foil dielectric structure which is an exceedingly thin aluminum layer deposited on a polycarbonate film.

The aluminum foil follows a self-healing characteristic when it is damaged due to overvoltage and it ensures that the capacitor is fully operational. This characteristic is very important for applications with high voltage spikes as it increases reliability and extends the life expectancy of the capacitor.
