Film Capacitors

A film capacitor, e.g. ECQ-U2A105MLA, is a type of capacitor that is characterized by its very thin plastic film dielectric, which consists of multiple layers of film treated with metalized electrodes. Film capacitors are considered to be very reliable as they have excellent stability, moisture resistance, self-healing abilities, long life expectancy, high electrical insulation and low dissipation factor. In addition, film capacitors are relatively small in size, which makes them ideal for applications with limited space. Furthermore, film capacitors also have the ability to use self-threaded lead screws, allowing for simpler installation.

Application Field

Film capacitors find a variety of applications in electronic circuits. Being used for energy storage, as well as filtering and buffering, they are often utilized in power supplies or for coupling, decoupling and filtering operations. Furthermore, as they have low leakage, they can be used in timing circuits or amplifier circuits.

One of the most common applications for ECQ-U2A105MLA is in power supplies, such as in Personal Computers, where they are used to supply voltage smoothing or a stable dc supply. Other common uses include motor running filters, surge absorption, DC-DC conversion, power line noise suppression, power factor correction and noise filters. ECQ-U2A105MLA are also widely used in automotive electronics, such as air conditioning electric vehicle systems, anti-collision systems and parking radar systems.

Working Principle

Film capacitors work using the same principle as all other capacitors. When a voltage is applied to the electrodes, a small electric charge is stored in the dielectric material between the two electrodes. This charge gradually increases until the maximum capacitance is reached.

ECQ-U2A105MLA capacitors are of the non-polarized variety, thus the voltage applied can be in either direction without affecting the stored charge. Due to the thickness of the plastic film dielectric, the capacitance of ECQ-U2A105MLA is higher than other types of capacitors. The lifetime can also be extended as better electrical insulation is achieved.

Conclusion

Film capacitors, such as ECQ-U2A105MLA, provide a reliable source of energy storage and filtering for a range of applications in electronic circuits. They are relatively small in size and have a long life expectancy, high electrical insulation and low dissipation factor. In addition, they can boast a high capacitance due to their plastic film dielectric. As such, film capacitors are a desirable option for a variety of applications, including motor running filters, surge absorption and power line noise suppression.
