ECQ-E6184RKF

Film capacitors are commonly used in a variety of applications thanks to their numerous advantages compared to alternatives. One of these is the ECQ-E6184RKF, a high quality surface mountable film capacitor with a maximum operating voltage of 275VAC and a maximum temperature rating of 105°C. The ECQ-E6184RKF is ideal for a wide range of applications such as audio crossover networks, power supply bypassing, multiplexers, op amps, amplifier coupling, and more.

Typical film capacitors feature a dielectric which consists of a non-conductive material, generally proven as an electrical insulator, between two metal plates in order to carry electrical energy back and forth between them. A major advantage of film capacitors is their ability to handle very large amounts of current without substantial loss or heating due to their low internal resistance. This makes them a great choice for power supply bypassing, amplifier coupling, and other high current applications.

Although construction strategies vary, film capacitors typically contain an organic dielectric, such as polypropylene. This dielectric material provides a very high level of electrical insulation and is able to withstand a high degree of flexing without incurring any damage. Additionally, dielectric layers increase the operating voltage of the capacitors. Each layer is designed to prevent most electrical leakage, giving them a very high self-healing capability.

The ECQ-E6184RKF utilizes a plastic sleeve with plastic doors at both ends in order to keep the capacitor insulated from the neighboring components. The sleeve acts as an additional insulating layer, protecting from the surrounding environmental conditions and preventing any short circuits. Furthermore, the device features a built-in EEPROM which stores important data such as the date and time of use, as well as the voltage rating of the device, thereby aiding troubleshooting in the event of any problems.

Despite its relatively small size, the ECQ-E6184RKF offers the same reliable performance as larger film capacitors. Featuring a maximum operating voltage of 275VAC and a maximum temperature rating of 105°C, the device is able to handle a wide range of applications including audio crossover networks, power supply bypassing, multiplexers, op amps, amplifier coupling, and more. Additionally, the device has also earned UL Recognition and meets CSA and VDE safety standards.

Overall, the ECQ-E6184RKF is an excellent choice for any application that requires a reliable and high-performing film capacitor. Its lightweight design, high capacitance, and self-healing characteristics make it an ideal choice for use in applications ranging from audio crossover networks to power supply bypassing. Furthermore, its UL recognition, CSA and VDE safety certifications, and ease of use make it a great choice for any project.
