Mica and PTFE Capacitors – CDV30FJ162JO3 application field and working principle

Mica and PTFE Capacitors are an electrical component comprised of two or more layers of conductive material, which are placed in close proximity with a dielectric material in between. The capacitor stores electric energy, and is commonly used in many electrical systems.

CDV30FJ162JO3 capacitors are built using a combination of mica and PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene). Mica is a naturally occurring mineral made up of a wide variety of components, most commonly composed of aluminum, silicon, potassium, and magnesium oxide (amongst other elements). It is highly stable, and a good insulator over a wide temperature range. PTFE is a synthetic, non-toxic fluoropolymer which is also highly stable and temperature resistant.

CDV30FJ162JO3 capacitors have a long list of attributes, such as high reliability and flexibility in design. This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications – most prominently, medical and communications devices – where reliability is essential. These capacitors are also commonly used as signal coupling capacitors, allowing for the filtering of DC voltages from AC voltages in power supplies, amplifiers, and radios.

At the heart of its functionality, a CDV capacitor primarily acts as a type of conductor, allowing for the storage of electric charge or energy. This is achieved by the lamination of two metallic plates (known as the ‘armatures’) which are separated by an insulating dielectric material. As current between the armatures is applied, an electric field is created, and this field significantly increases the capacitance of the capacitor. This is known as the ‘dielectric effect and forms a major part of the capacitor’s station of charge and discharge.

CDV30FJ162JO3 capacitors also feature highly durable construction. The mica and PTFE layers are sealed together in a durable hard-rubber encapsulation, which securely houses the components and ensures the capacitor has a high-quality level of insulation. Not only is the insulation high quality, but its temperature range is also quite broad, making it suitable for extreme temperature applications.

CDV30FJ162JO3 capacitors are designed for long-term reliability, making them highly suitable for a wide range of applications. Not only are they capable of handling power requirements, they also feature a low ESR (equivalent series resistance). This, along with their temperature range, makes them suitable for many applications where reliability and performance are key.

Ultimately, the CDV30FJ162JO3 capacitor is a robust electrical component which makes use of mica and PTFE materials to create a highly efficient and reliable device. By laminating two metallic plates with a dielectric material between them, and sealing this in a durable shell, the capacitor is able to store electric energy, filtering out DC voltages from AC voltages with high accuracy. This makes it a highly desirable choice in a variety of applications where reliability is essential.
