Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are capacitors that use thin plastic films as the dielectric material, instead of the more traditional paper or ceramic dielectrics. The F17102221900 is a type of film capacitor known for its energy density and long life expectancy. It can be a cost-effective solution for various applications, thanks to its relatively low cost.

Application Field of F17102221900

The F17102221900 is most commonly used in DC-Link applications in switchmode power supplies (SMPS). It has a wide operating voltage range up to 1750V and the small case size of the F17102221900 allows for an efficient design with high energy density. This makes it suitable for applications such as consumer electronics, medical diagnostics, home appliances, and solar inverters.

The F17102221900 is also suitable for across-the-line motor-start applications. It can handle peak load currents of up to 500A, allowing it to handle high inrush currents and large capacitance drops. This means that it can be used in applications with large motor loads, such as large industrial motors.

Working Principle of F17102221900

The F17102221900 works on the same basic principle as all capacitors. When an alternating current runs through the capacitor, it creates an electrical field between the two plates. This electrical field stores the energy, acting as a kind of reservoir. When the alternating current stops, the capacitor\'s plates are able to release the energy stored in the electric field.

The F17102221900 is made from a combination of materials. The two plates are made from aluminum or tin-plated steel, and the dielectric is a thin sheet of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This combination of materials gives the F17102221900 its high energy density and long life expectancy. The F17102221900 also has excellent corrosion resistance and thermal stability, making it ideal for use in harsh environments.

Conclusion

Film capacitors such as the F17102221900 are versatile components that can be used in a wide range of applications. They offer a cost-effective solution for applications where high energy density and long life expectancy are critical. Their combination of materials also gives them excellent corrosion resistance and thermal stability, making them suitable for use in harsh environments.
