CD5FA201GO3

Mica and PTFE Capacitors

Mica and PTFE capacitors have become increasingly popular among engineers in different fields due to their durable construction and superior performance characteristics compared to other types of capacitors. The CD5FA201GO3 capacitor is a type of mica capacitor that is specifically designed for Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) applications and has a high working voltage rating.

Mica and PTFE capacitors are made using a combination of mica and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). Mica is a dielectric material that is highly resistant to electrical current in comparison to other dielectric materials like polyesters, both polyethylene and polypropylene. The inclusion of PTFE enhances the dielectric strength of the capacitor. This makes mica and PTFE capacitors ideal for use in high voltage applications like motor control, frequency control, railway electronics, high-powered electrical systems, and inverters.

The CD5FA201GO3 mica capacitor is a radial lead type capacitor which means it has two leads, one positive and one negative. The capacitor is constructed using a stack of metalized mica, interlaced with thin layers of PTFE and then wound in form of a coil. The metalized mica provides the high dielectric strength which prevents any breakdown during higher voltage applications. The PTFE layers in the capacitor provide a low-loss factor which means it can handle more current without significant power losses.

The working principle behind the CD5FA201GO3 capacitor is similar to other mica and PTFE capacitors. When a voltage signal is applied across the two leads of the capacitor, charge is built up on the metalized mica which acts as an insulator to hold the charges. The charge generated on the metalized mica creates a static electric field that reduces the flow of electric current across the capacitor to almost zero. This process helps reduce electrical noise and increase power transmission efficiency in PWM applications.

The CD5FA201GO3 capacitor is designed specifically for high voltage applications and is suitable for AC/DC DC/DC conversion and PWM applications. It is compatible with all major voltage levels, making it suitable for use in a range of industrial and commercial applications. The capacitor is also resistant to high temperatures, making it suitable for use in applications where temperature control is important. The large temperature range capacity of the CD5FA201GO3 capacitor makes it suitable for use in both high and low temperature applications.

In conclusion, the CD5FA201GO3 mica and PTFE capacitor is designed for use in PWM applications and is suitable for use in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. The capacitor has a high temperature rating and is also resistant to voltage spikes and other electrical noise sources. The capacitor has a high dielectric strength and a low-loss factor, making it ideal for use in PWM applications.
