MIN02-002CC3R5D-F

Mica & PTFE Capacitors

The MIN02-002CC3R5D-F Capacitor is a member of the Mica & PTFE family. It is designed for a wide variety of applications where smaller and rugged construction is needed, due to its miniature housing, and excellent high temperature stability.

Mica and PTFE Capacitors derive their name from the fact that they consist of a mica dielectric and a Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) impregnated paper. Mica capacitors are used in a variety of high frequency and high dV/dt applications where small size, low capacitance, and high stability are desired. The use of two dielectrics makes them resistant to moister damage, extend lifetime, and provide temperature stability. The PTFE impregnated paper dielectric increases the reliability and provides a larger capacitance to voltage ratio in comparison to the standard class of capacitors.

The MIN02-002CC3R5D-F can be used in high frequency applications such as switch mode power supplies, voltage stabilizers, and other power applications. It is capable of handling high dV/dt applications, such as when used on heavy-duty motor controllers, as well as in hostile environments where there is little air or presence of moisture. The capacitor\'s characteristics make it ideal for a wide variety of commercial, industrial, and aerospace applications.

The MIN02-002CC3R5D-F also has excellent stability over a wide range of temperatures. This makes it suitable for use in harsh climatic conditions, as it has been designed to operate without any performance degradation. Its small size and light weight also make it easy to install, particularly in high altitude and space installations.

The MIN02-002CC3R5D-F has a working principle that relies primarily on the movement of electrons. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, electrons build up on one side of the capacitor creating a charge. The capacitor, in turn, becomes polarized, and can store and produce electrical energy. The capacitor will continue to store the energy until it is discharged.

The MIN02-002CC3R5D-F is a great choice for any application where high frequency switching, compact size, low cost, and high temperature stability are a priority. The capacitor has long life, excellent temperature stability, and resistance to VSWR for long-term stability. Its miniature size also makes it ideal for hard-to-access spots, giving access with less drilling and grinding of wire channels.

As a member of the Mica & PTFE Capacitor family, the MIN02-002CC3R5D-F is designed for a wide variety of applications where smaller and rugged construction is needed, due to its miniature housing, and excellent high temperature stability. It is extremely useful in applications were high frequency switching, small size, low cost, and high temperature stability are desired.
