ECH-U1C273JB5 Capacitors

Film capacitors are an important part of modern electronics applications, providing an efficient method of storing electrical energy, usually in the form of an electrical field generated between two oppositely charged plates. The ECH-U1C273JB5 is a di-electric film capacitor under the UL1414 approval code. It is able to handle a maximum operating temperature of 125°C and is used mainly for AC applications.

The ECH-U1C273JB5 is a metallized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film product, specifically designed with a polyester dielectric that offers excellent electrical characteristics. The capacitor is designed to have a low DF (dissipation factor), high insulation resistance, and low capacitance drift to ensure a stable capacitance over the life of the capacitor.

The ECH-U1C273JB5 is distributed in two different capacitance values, 0.047uF and 0.100uF, both rated to 190VAC at 50/60Hz. The product comes in a compact, non-inductive, plastic case with a UL94V-0 rating, allowing for a low profile installation. The ECH-U1C273JB5 also has a polarity marking for positive and negative terminals for easy user connection.

The ECH-U1C273JB5 film capacitor is widely used in many applications, including AC motor run circuits, motor start control applications, and power factor correction circuits. It can also be used in lighting ballast applications, in switching power supplies, and other high-frequency electronics applications.

The working principle behind the ECH-U1C273JB5 Film capacitor is based on the capacitor’s ability to store electrical energy. When a voltage is applied between the two terminals of a capacitor, the electrical energy is stored within the structure of the dielectric material. This energy is stored as an electric field that builds up between the two charged plates of the capacitor. When the voltage is removed from the terminals, the electric field dissipates and the stored energy is released, allowing the capacitor to discharge its stored energy.

The ECH-U1C273JB5 film capacitor is an essential part of modern electronics systems and provides a reliable solution for many electronics applications. The capacitor is highly reliable due to its low DF characteristics, high insulation resistance, and low capacitance drift. It also provides a low-profile installation due to its UL94V-0 rated plastic casing. With its large capacitance range and approved UL1414 standards compliance, the ECH-U1C273JB5 is a great choice for many consumer electronics applications.
