Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are passive components that are formed using evenly spaced parallel dielectric films which are printed onto a flexible plastic substrate. This structure gives film capacitors a unique combination of electrical characteristics. Film capacitors have several advantages compared to other types of capacitors. These include excellent stability, low leakage, high dielectric strength and low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). Film capacitors are typically used for applications such as filter circuits, electronic timing circuits, audio filter networks and energy storage.

BFC2373GB153MD application field and working principle

BFC2373GB1530MD is a film capacitor manufactured by Bourns. It is designed for applications such as signal filtering, power supplies, high voltage energy storage and capacitance matching. The product has a working temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and an insulation voltage of 570Vrms. The product is built using high-quality polypropylene film and features a glass fiber reinforced plastic case with a terminal coating. It is rated for an AC ripple rating of 1µF at 200VAC/250VDC x 2A. The product also features an outer resin which helps to protect the capacitor from environmental factors such as dust and moisture. The working principle of the BFC2373GB153MD is that electrons are produced when a voltage is applied across the device. This produces a charge that is stored in the dielectric material. The dielectric material consists of several layers of special films separated by insulators. This structure allows the capacitor to store a certain amount of electrical energy, which can then be released when the voltage across the device is changed.
