ECW-F4514JL

Film capacitors are components that store and release electrical energy. They are widely used in the electronics industry and can be found in many common electronic devices, such as televisions, computers, laptops, cameras, and cell phones. The ECW-F4514JL is a film capacitor manufactured and supplied by Kemet Corporation. It is a surface mount, low-leakage capacitor designed for use in high voltage and high frequency applications.

The ECW-F4514JL capacitor is constructed from a high-grade polypropylene dielectric material and a solid electrolyte formed by the cross-linked polymer of polyethylene and/or ethylene copolymers. This construction provides excellent high frequency and high voltage stability and high insulation resistance. The capacitor also features a low leakage current and low dissipation factor, making it suitable for precision AC/DC coupling and energy storage applications.

The ECW-F4514JL is available in a wide range of capacitance values, ranging from 10pF to 220μF. These capacitors are rated for up to 4,000V and are able to operate over a wide temperature range, from -55°C to +105°C. These capacitors are suited for use in AC/DC circuits or for DC/DC converters, and in power conditioning circuits.

The working principle of a film capacitor involves the process of electrical charge being stored at the interface between two conductive layers, which creates an electric dipole. This induced dipole causes an electric field to be generated between the capacitor plates, thus storing electrical energy. When an AC signal is applied, the dipole arrangement is alternated and electrical energy is exchanged between the capacitor plates. This exchange of energy stabilizes the signal and affects its frequency, magnitude, and phase.

The ECW-F4514JL film capacitor is an effective and efficient choice for use in AC/DC coupling and energy storage applications. Due to its low leakage current, wide temperature range, and high frequency stability, this capacitor is suitable for a variety of electronic applications, including audio equipment, solar cell inverters, and pulse generator circuits. This makes it an excellent choice for use in a variety of electronics applications.
