Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as plastic film capacitors, are capacitors which use a thin plastic film as the dielectric material. They are most commonly used in electronic applications due to their large capacitance and low cost. Typically they come in small surface mount packages but are also available in larger through-hole packages.
