PVC10268

Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are highly reliable and offer many advantages over traditional capacitors due to their low parasitics, high temperature stability and wide capacitance range. They are used extensively in a variety of applications, from radio frequency and high speed communication, to motor drives and switching power supplies.

PVC10268 Application Field and Working Principle

PVC10268 is a film capacitor manufactured by Philips Components, a company well known for their electrical components and solutions. This particular model is a polypropylene film capacitor with a snap-in base. It is designed to provide reliable, low-noise operation in applications where high capacitance and long life are required. It is used in a variety of applications, ranging from power conditioning and power line suppression to EMI/RFI suppression and power line isolation.

The PVC10268 has a capacitance range of 1.5-10 μF (microfarads) and features a robust cylindrical polypropylene film core with a snap-in base. This base allows for easy and secure mounting in the application. It also uses a copper-clad steel (CCS) electrode for enhanced durability and longer life. This product is specifically designed for high temperature applications and is rated for operation up to 105°C (221°F) with an endurance rating of 500,000 cycles.

The working principle of the PVC10268 is fairly straightforward. When a potential difference is applied to the capacitor, the electrons pass freely through the dielectric material, and the electrical charge accumulates on the two dielectric plates. This creates an electrostatic field in which an electrical current is generated. This current is then drawn from the capacitor and is sent to the device connected to the capacitor. The energy stored in the capacitor is then discharged, drawing the capacitor back to its initial state.

The PVC10268 is a versatile product that can be used for many applications, including power conditioning, power line suppression, EMI/RFI suppression and power line isolation. It also has the benefit of excellent temperature stability and low parasitics due to its robust polypropylene construction, which ensures long-term reliability and performance. This product is an ideal choice for any application that requires a high-quality, high-performance capacitor.
