CM04FA361FO3

Mica and PTFE capacitors are a form of capacitor composed of mica and/or polytetrafluoroethylene dielectric material with a minimum of loss, making them ideal for high-frequency applications. The CM04FA361FO3 is one such capacitor, designed for use in high-power, high-voltage, and high-frequency applications.

The maximum operating voltage for the CM04FA361FO3 is 1800V. The capacitance of this capacitor ranges from 0.01pF to 100nF depending on its physical size. It is a non-polarized capacitor, meaning it can be operated in either direction without affecting its performance. It is also temperature stable, meaning changes in temperature do not significantly affect its performance.

The physical construction of the CM04FA361FO3 consists of a mica and/or polytetrafluorethylene dielectric material sandwiched between two metalized plates. These metalized plates are connected together by a two-terminal weldable connector at the bottom of the capacitor. This connector allows the CM04FA361FO3 to be connected to a power source, allowing electricity to flow through it.

The features of the CM04FA361FO3 make it ideal for use in high-power, high-voltage, and high-frequency applications such as radar and communication systems. This capacitor is also ideal for use in motor drives, aircraft, ships, medical devices, and computer circuits. Due to its temperature stability, it can be used in environments where temperatures may fluctuate and still provide reliable performance.

The working principle of this capacitor is simple. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, its metalized plates accumulate electrons, allowing them to store charge. This stored charge can then be used to create an electric field which can transmit a current through the capacitor. When the voltage is removed, the capacitor slowly releases its charge until it is completely discharged.

The CM04FA361FO3 capacitor offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for powering high-power, high-voltage, and high-frequency applications. With its ability to withstand temperature changes and its low loss performance, it can be used in a variety of applications, from medical equipment to communication systems, and provide reliable and consistent performance.
