BFC238550682

Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as plastic film capacitors, are components used for capacitance, which is the capacity to store an electric charge temporarily. The BFC238550682 is perfect for applications requiring higher capacitance values, stability, and environmental performance.

Application Field

The BFC238550682 film capacitor is typically used for telecom applications, and its variety of terminals enables it to be connected to the printed circuit board easily. This type of capacitors can also be used for high frequency snubber or smoothing circuits and for bank filters. Additionally, it is used in many noisy environments, such as in power frequency coupling capacitors for functional or signal circuits, or decoupling, bypassing, and blocking circuits to reduce the noise.

Working Principle

In order to understand how the BFC238550682 film capacitor works, it is important to understand some of the basic principles of capacitance. Inside the capacitor, which is composed of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material, electrons accumulate on one plate, leading to an electrical field. The electric field inside the capacitor increases as the voltage is increased or decreased, allowing for a steady current to pass. The amount of charge stored in the capacitor depends on the voltage applied, and the capacitance of the capacitor is determined by the area of its plates and the dielectric constant of the insulating material.

When the BFC238550682 film capacitor is used, the two conductive plates are typically separated by a plastic film with a dielectric constant. This film is designed to improve the capacitance of the capacitor and to minimize leakage current. The thickness of the film also plays a role in the overall capacitance of the capacitor, so its thickness is chosen carefully for specific applications.

The BFC238550682 film capacitor also features an efficiency rating of 98% and is able to offer higher capacitance values within a smaller and more compact form factor. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including power filtering, current bypassing and energy storage.
