BFC238314513

Film capacitors, as their name suggests, feature a thin film of dielectric material between two conductive surfaces. The BFC238314513 is a specific type of film capacitor, sold under the brandname EFI, that can be used in both general-purpose and snubber applications. It is especially suited for higher-voltage applications that require high-temperature performance.

The film in the BFC238314513 is made of a special polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), which has been designed for reliable long-term operation. This makes it well suited for continuous-duty applications, such as power supplies, lightning protection systems, and audio amplifier stages. Its low DF (dielectric absorption) characteristics make it especially suitable for high-frequency applications.

The main feature of the BFC238314513 is its low ESR (equivalent series resistance). This is due to its self-healing, non-blocking construction. This means that any localized surge or spike in current or voltage is quickly corrected, reducing losses and improving system efficiency. In addition, the BFC238314513 offers good self-healing properties, meaning it can recover quickly from thermal and electrical stress.

In terms of its physical characteristics, the BFC238314513 is RoHS compliant and comes in a radial package with five pins inserted. It is rated for temperatures up to 105°C, and operating voltages of up to 400VDC, so it can be used in a wide range of applications.

The working principle of the BFC238314513 is straightforward. Like any other capacitor, it stores up electrical energy when a voltage is applied across its terminals. This charge is then released as the voltage drops. The amount of charge stored is determined by the capacitance of the component and the amount of voltage applied. The higher the capacitance, the more electrical energy that can be stored and the more efficient the capacitor will be. Similarly, the higher the voltage, the more charge can be stored, thereby increasing the efficiency of the capacitor.

In conclusion, the BFC238314513 is a versatile and reliable film capacitor that can be used in a wide variety of applications, from power supplies to lightning protection systems and audio amplifier stages. Its low ESR and self-healing properties make it well suited for high-frequency applications, and it is rated for temperatures up to 105°C and voltages of up to 400VDC.
