QXP2E473JRPT

Film Capacitors

A film capacitor is a type of capacitor that typically uses a plastic film as the dielectric material, which is mostly polyester, polypropylene, or polycarbonate film. This type of capacitor is also known as a plastic film capacitor, paper-plastic capacitor, plastic foil capacitor, film dielectric capacitor, or polymer film capacitor. Besides the plastic film, two or more metal plates are used, as conductive electrodes that are placed on top and bottom of the film. These electrodes have the capacitive properties of the film between them, as they create an electrical field when charged.

The QXP2E473JRPT is a type of film capacitor, which is highly reliable and able to withstand harsh environments. It is highly voltage and temperature stable, as well as having low dissipation factor and low impedance. It also has a long life span due to its solid plastic film construction and the absence of chemical reactivity, making it ideal for use in areas where long-term capacitance is required.

The QXP2E473JRPT is mainly found in applications where reliability and longevity are of utmost importance. Examples include power supply and audio equipment, medical and instrumentation systems, motor control equipment, computer and communication systems, power management systems, and solar inverters.

The QXP2E473JRPT works by utilizing the electrical properties of the plastic film between the metal plates in order to store electrical energy. When a voltage is applied across the terminals, an electric field is created within the film. This field is strong enough to store and release electrical energy in a controlled manner. As current passes through the capacitor’s terminals, the electric field within the film alternately charges and discharges, thus converting electrical energy to electrostatic energy.

The advantages of the QXP2E473JRPT include its low profile design for easy installation, flexibility and tolerance to mechanical shock, and a wide range of available capacitance values for a wide variety of applications. The downside, however, is that it is not suitable for applications where high frequency switching is required, as it may cause undesired electromagnetic interference.

In conclusion, the QXP2E473JRPT is a reliable and versatile film capacitor that is widely used in applications where reliability and longevity are required. Thanks to its reliable construction, low profile, and wide capacitance value range, it is ideal for many applications, such as power supply and audio equipment, medical and instrumentation systems, motor control equipment, computer and communication systems, power management systems, and solar inverters.
