Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are electrical components made from a thin layer of plastic film that has been thermally or chemically coated with metal electrodes. Additionally, they may have an insulating layer between the two electrodes. Film capacitors are used in many applications where their insulating properties make them the preferred choice for electrical components.

BFC246952152 Applications and Working Principle

Film capacitors are used in a wide range of applications including power conditioning and decoupling circuits, as well as for signal isolation, timing, and filtering. Examples of specific applications include high-frequency welding machines, class-D amplifiers, television equipment, and high-power, high-efficiency switching applications.

When it comes to working principle, Film capacitors have two main types of operating principles. The first is through the passage of alternating current which, depending on the circuit, can be direct current or alternating current. The second type of working principle is electrostatic, where a high-voltage charge is stored in the film capacitor, allowing it to operate effectively even with a very low DC voltage.

The most commonly used film capacitors are Film foil capacitors which are very reliable in high frequencies. The foil is rolled and what is known as a dielectric shield that helps reduce the capacitance change due to vibration and temperature changes. These capacitors derive their name from the fact that they have two metalized layers separated by a thin plastic film. A dielectric coating on one or both of these layers improves the capacitance.

Film capacitors can offer high capacitance with low losses, enabling them to handle higher current than ceramic or electrolytic capacitors of the same capacitance. Additionally, Film capacitors have excellent frequency characteristics, low temperature coefficient, and long-term reliability.

In contrast to ceramic capacitors, Film capacitors are also excellent for high-value capacitance applications due to their nearly constant capacitance across a wide range of temperatures and voltages. Film capacitors are also ideal for applications where high capacitance values are required in order to reduce electrical noise, since they are usually able to achieve higher-value capacitance and higher voltage ratings with a smaller form factor than other types of capacitors.

Film capacitors deliver superior performance advantages for most switching, power supply, and signal filter applications. Although film capacitors are generally more expensive than other types of capacitors, their small size, high-frequency response, and lower ESR make them the perfect choice for many applications.
