Film Capacitors

The R60GF3220AA6AJ is a type of film capacitor, more specifically a type of capacitance typically used in electronic applications. Film capacitors are often known as "film dielectric capacitors" due to their use of a dielectric polymer film as the insulating medium.

Application Fields

Film capacitors are mainly used for coupling, filtering, and energy storage for different power supply applications. Oftentimes, their applications can be found in pulse circuits, AC ripple rectifiers, DC/DC converters, inverters, tuned circuits, motor controls, photovoltaic systems, power supplies, and various other various control applications. Especially, in AC/DC systems, film capacitor types featured with low ESR and high ripple current capability play a massive role in energy storage for AC/DC applications.

In addition, special types of film capacitors are specifically used to match the permittivity of the materials used in a targeted application. For example, in automotive ECU applications, film capacitors must be carefully matched with the permittivity of the electronic material used in the ECU. This increases the efficient coupling value and reduces the stress endured by the film capacitor.

Working Principle

A typical film capacitor consists of a metal foil chemically coated with a thin film of dielectric material such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or polyester. The two metal layers, with their very thin coat of dielectric, form the two plates of the capacitor. As AC current is applied to the capacitor\'s core, its resulting electrostatic field causes electric charges to build up on the two plates. This charge buildup creates a potential difference between the two plates and stores electric energy.

At any given time, the voltage across the capacitor will remain relative to the applied electric field strength. When the electric field strength changes, the capacitor responds accordingly, resulting in an electrical signal output. This signal can then be used as a current source or to perform signal conditioning.

Film capacitors are very reliable, operating efficiently and providing excellent insulation. The dielectric material used to cover the capacitor\'s plates, such as polypropylene, is highly stable and can withstand extremely high temperatures. These characteristics make film capacitors attractive candidates for many different types of applications across many industries.
