SFCIL5000472MX1

Feed through capacitors are a type of capacitors used to provide electrical filtering between two parts of an electronic circuit that need to be isolated. The SFCIL5000472MX1 is an example of such a capacitor. It is a two-pin silicone-gel filled capacitor designed for high-frequency filtering applications up to 3.2GHz.

The SFCIL5000472MX1 features a very low profile with a total height of just 0.120 in (3.05mm) and a width of only 0.50 in (12.7mm). It is made with a two-pin construction, with two pins that are connected by a thin dielectric film. This design allows for up to three times higher attenuation than other types of capacitors, making it particularly suitable for very high frequency range applications.

The SFCIL5000472MX1 does not require soldering during installation, as it can be simply plugged in directly with two flat-head screws. The pins are also insulated to prevent any short-circuit currents or reverse currents from occurring, thus providing exceptional safety in operation. Additionally, the capacitor features a low ESR of 0.06Ω and a high dielectric strength with breakdown voltage of 20V.

The feed through capacitors feature an open-frame construction, which is essentially a hollow chamber that is filled with a silicone-gel. This Gel fills the chamber and provides the electrical insulation necessary for the operation of the capacitor. As the Gel has a high dielectric constant, it is able to store a large amount of electrical charge, which contributes to the high capacitance of the SFCIL5000472MX1.

Additionally, the capacitors also provide shielding through a Faraday cage effect. This is done by the use of a metal shield around the capacitor. The shield is electrically connected to the outer casing and the two electrical leads, thus creating a conductive loop. This loop screens out harmful electrical noise from nearby components, while allowing the desired signal to remain unaffected.

The SFCIL5000472MX1 is suitable for applications such as mobile phone base stations, satellite communications systems, wireless and cellular communications, and microwave communications systems. It can also be used to reduce EMI interference between components in high speed computer networks. Additionally, it can be used to help reduce power consumption in power hungry applications such as automotive and industrial electronics.

The SFCIL5000472MX1 is an example of a feed through capacitor capable of providing excellent high frequency filtering performance across a wide range of applications. With its low profile and easy installation, it is a great choice for any application that requires high speed signal transmission and filtering. Whether it is for reducing interference or increasing efficiency, the SFCIL5000472MX1 can provide the necessary performance.
