Film Capacitors

The C4BSMBX4200ZA0J is a film capacitor, which belong to the family of capacitors known as non-polarized types. These capacitors are made up of two conducting plates separated by an insulating layer, known as a dielectric, which can be of different materials (i.e. mica, plastic, paper, etc.). These capacitors are typically used to create circuits for timing, transients, and automated control or memory circuitry.

Applications and Uses

Film capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits in most consumer and industrial electronic products, including audio and video equipment, portable computing devices, and appliances. They are used in a variety of applications, from power supplies to industrial controls and communications systems.

Film capacitors have excellent high frequency characteristics, low leakage, low ESR (equivalent series resistance), high ripple current capacity, high tolerance to shock and vibration, and low sensitivity to humidity and temperature. These characteristics make them ideal for many applications, such as radio frequency chokes, voltage suppression, noise reduction, and signal filtering.

Film capacitors are also used in power supplies to store energy and improve power stability. They are used in parallel with electrolytic capacitors and as snubbers, snubber timing, and energy storage capacitors in motor applications and power supply circuits. Film capacitors can also be used for transient suppression, to reduce noise, and for pulse application circuits.

Working Principle

In a film capacitor, a thin film of an insulating material separates two conductors. When a voltage is applied across the two conductors, an electric field is created, which causes electrical charges to be stored in the dielectric material. The charge stored in the dielectric causes a capacitance to be formed. The capacitance is proportional to the area of the plates, the distance between them, and the type of dielectric used.

A film capacitor behaves like a linear capacitor when a DC voltage is applied. It can store energy in the form of an electric field. When an AC voltage is applied, it behaves as a reactive component, where the stored energy is released and replenished with each cycle of the AC cycle.

Film capacitors can also vary the capacitance value by using different dielectrics, changing the gap between the conductors, or changing the size or area of the conductors. This allows them to be used in applications where capacitance values must be adjusted or “tuned”.

Conclusion

The C4BSMBX4200ZA0J is a film capacitor that belongs to the non-polarized family of capacitors. It has excellent characteristics making it ideal for many applications, such as control and automation, power supplies, audio and video equipment, and industrial control and communications systems. Its working principle is based on an electric field stored in a dielectric, which can be changed and adjusted to change the capacitance value.
