FCN3925A105K-V

Film capacitors are a type of capacitor with dielectric properties similar to that of non-electrolytic capacitors, but with greater values of capacitance, given their higher dielectric constant. Film capacitors are based on a thin polymer film, such as a polystyrene, that is dielectric coated with electrodes that are usually made of foil or metalized materials. This type of capacitor is widely used in a variety of applications such as film audio capacitors, pump start capacitors, AC motor capacitors, filter networks, or general-purpose DC-blocking capacitors.

The FCN3925A105K-V (hereafter referred to as the FCN) is an example of film capacitor that is manufactured specifically for AC motor applications. It has a high-temperature rating and a high capacitance. It features an aluminum electrolytic construction and a galvanized steel case. This type of capacitor is often used to reduce ripple current and applied noise, and has a wide range of operating temperatures.

In terms of application fields, the FCN is suitable for use in a variety of applications such as in AC motors, in industrial switching power supplies, and in high voltage applications. It can also be used in capacitor banks for harmonic mitigation, high-frequency filters, and power conversion circuits. This capacitor has relatively low ESR and ESL parameters, making it useful for avoiding power supply distortion.

The capacitance of the FCN is mainly determined by the thickness of the dielectric film, as well as by the size and shape of the electrodes. To help ensure an even distribution of the voltage across the metalized dielectric, the electrodes of the FCN have a special ‘anode tree’ which helps to evenly distribute the voltage. It also has a dielectric coating that helps to improve insulation properties and reduce leakage current.

The working principle of the FCN involves the application of a high-frequency voltage to the film. This voltage creates an electric field across the dielectric, which in turn creates a displacement current. This displacement current is proportional to the surface area of the electrodes, and thus is an important factor in determining the effective capacitance of the FCN. Additionally, due to the use of an anode tree, a more even distribution of the electric field is achieved, which helps to increase the capacitance of the FCN.

In conclusion, the FCN3925A105K-V is a film capacitor that is designed for high-temperature AC motor applications. It has a durable construction and an anode tree that helps to evenly distribute the voltage, allowing for a higher capacitance value. Furthermore, its relatively low ESR and ESL parameters make it a good choice for power supply applications where distortion needs to be minimized.
