CD5FC101JO3

Mica and PTFE Capacitors

Mica capacitors utilize two conductive plates which are separated by an etched mica dielectric. The plates are insulated from each other by a coating of wax, known as a sealant or header, which fills the voids between the plates. PTFE capacitors utilize two conductive plates which are separated by a PTFE insulator. The plates are then sealed together by a heat-shrinkable plastic tube.

The CD5FC101JO3 capacitor is a type of mica and PTFE capacitor. It is a surface-mount, high-voltage capacitor which utilizes a mica dielectric and a PTFE insulator to achieve high-voltage breakdown capabilities with low leakage current. This is due to the continuous hybrid structure having a uniform distribution of charge over the entire device, and is beneficial for applications which require a high dielectric constant and low capacitance values.

CD5FC101JO3 Application Field and Working Principle

The CD5FC101JO3 capacitor is used in critical high voltage applications such as medical, industrial and aerospace systems. Its high dielectric constant, low capacitance values and low leakage current make it ideal for a range of applications such as over-voltage protection, power factor correction and voltage stability.

The CD5FC101JO3 capacitor works on the principle of Coulomb\'s Law. This law states that the electrical potential between two plates is proportional to the charge on the plates. By separating the plates with a mica dielectric and a PTFE insulator, the capacitance can be increased by increasing the surface area of the plates and thus allowing for more charge to be stored. As the voltage increases, the dielectric undergoes electrical breakdown, resulting in a decrease in the operating capacitance and current.

The CD5FC101JO3 capacitor is designed to withstand high voltages and provide low leakage currents, which makes it an ideal component for high voltage applications. The capacitor is also stable when subjected to temperature variations and can operate up to 125°C.
