Film Capacitor
Film capacitors place a polymer dielectric between conductive electrodes, commonly arranged in a wound element.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Film capacitors are also called Plastic Film capacitors.
The plastic film is used as the dielectric.
Thin film capacitors are capacitors with metal foil as electrode and plastic film such as polyethyl ester, polypropylene, polystyrene or polycarbonate, which are overlapped from two ends and wound into a cylindrical structure.
And according to the type of plastic film is respectively called polyethyl ester capacitor (also known as Mylar capacitor), polypropylene capacitor (also known as PP capacitor), polystyrene capacitor (also known as PS capacitor) and polycarbonate capacitor.
Capacitance and voltage alone do not define suitability. Ripple current, pulse loading, dielectric loss and temperature determine the accepted operating duty. Self-healing applies to suitable metallised constructions and should not be attributed to every film capacitor.
What turns activity into demand
A DC-link application and a sharp pulse impose different loads. Product mix can change supplier value while capacitance totals stay similar. Separate discrete capacitors from complete DC-link or power-conversion assemblies. Dielectric film sales are an upstream material scope.
The commercial boundary
Separate discrete capacitors from complete DC-link or power-conversion assemblies. Dielectric film sales are an upstream material scope.
