CD6ED680FO3

Mica and PTFE Capacitors

The CD6ED680FO3 is a type of capacitor which employs a combination of mica capacitors and PTFE capacitors within its design for numerous applications with increased accuracy and strength.

Application Field

The CD6ED680FO3 capacitor enables engineers to design products such as EM shielding, signal conditioning and filter circuitry. Its use is primarily within the aerospace industry, providing increased robustness, improved stability and resistance to extreme temperatures and conditions.

MICA capacitors are often used within high end EM shielding and filtering, due to their high performance characteristics which enable them to enable frequent operation and reduce interference in extremely harsh conditions. They are also usually used for high end MIL grade applications at very high temperatures as they can withstand extreme levels of heat when incorporated into circuitry.

PTFE capacitors are often used in applications with high frequency signals, due to their low leakage current and ability to filter out unwanted frequency noise. They also offer non-inductive performance by reducing the noise which can accumulate in the filter and can also help lower the levels of distortion.

Working Principle

The CD6ED680FO3 features two mica capacitors and two PTFE capacitors. Both types of capacitor perform similar functions in the circuit, however the functioning of each varies drastically. The mica capacitor functions by gathering energy from each of the two plates on either side of the mica dielectric. When a voltage is applied, the dielectric stores the charge and the capacitor begins to build up electrical potential energy. The PTFE capacitors work by using the PTFE dielectric to collect electricity from each of the two plates and transmit it through the circuit. Unlike the mica capacitor, the PTFE capacitor does not store the electrical charge but acts as a continuous current circuit.

The two capacitors each serve a unique purpose within the CD6ED680FO3. While the mica capacitors provide a more robust and reliable performance, the PTFE capacitors enable precise filtering and signal conditioning, due to their ability to produce an uninterrupted current flow throughout the circuit. Together the two capacitor types enable high accuracy and improved stability for numerous applications.

Conclusion

The CD6ED680FO3 is a combination of two capacitor types which enable engineers to design products for a range of applications. The mica capacitors provide greater robustness and heat resistance while the PTFE capacitors enable precise filtering and signal conditioning, due to their ability to produce an uninterrupted current flow throughout the circuit. The CD6ED680FO3 is often used within the aerospace industry for EM shielding and filter circuitry.
