Film Capacitors

A film capacitor, or dielectric film capacitor, is a capacitor which uses a thin plastic or paper film as the dielectric. This type of capacitor typically provides higher capacitance values than ceramic, tubular, or ordinary electrolytic capacitors. It is suitable for use in low-profile circuits, which are becoming more and more common due to demand from the telecommunications sector.

It also offers an insulation resistance range of up to 10,000MΩ (at 20°C) and a wide frequency range of 1 to 300MHz.

The F17104101030 film capacitor is built into a slimline design, allowing it to fit easily into compact circuit boards. This capacitor has an operating voltage of 10 to 100V DC, an overload voltage of 150V DC, and a ripple current of 1.5A (RMS) or 0.2A (Peak). It is also designed to meet the requirements of UL, CSA, and EN 60950 for safety.

The working principle of the F17104101030 film capacitor is based on an electric field which is generated between two metal plates. This electric field polarizes the dielectric material, which in turn creates an electrostatic charge. The electrostatic charge forms the capacitance value of the capacitor. This value can be adjusted by changing the distance between the metal plates and the thickness of the dielectric material.

The polypropylene film used in the F17104101030 film capacitor has very good temperature characteristics. This allows the capacitor to maintain its capacitance stability over a wide temperature range with minimal drift. Additionally, this capacitor has a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), which allows it to handle higher frequency and current applications with minimal power losses.

The F17104101030 film capacitor is able to provide reliable performance when used in telecommunications applications, as well as in other high-end consumer electronics. Its compact design, reliable capacitance stability and low ESR make it an ideal choice for a variety of different applications.
