1. What are the uses of film capacitors?
High-frequency filtering, power decoupling, power noise bypass
The main uses of film capacitors include high-frequency filtering, power decoupling, power noise bypass, etc. In electronic devices, film capacitors are widely used in various circuits due to their high insulation impedance, wide frequency response and self-healing properties.
Specific application scenarios
High-frequency filtering: Film capacitors have excellent high-frequency insulation performance, and the capacitance and loss angle are independent of frequency in a large frequency range and change little with temperature, so they are often used in high-frequency filtering circuits.
Power decoupling: In car audio systems, film capacitors are used for power decoupling to ensure stable power supply and avoid noise caused by feedback generated by the power supply.
Power noise bypass: Film capacitors are also widely used for power noise bypass (reverse cross-connection) to reduce the impact of power noise on the circuit.
Different types of applications
CBB film capacitors: widely used in circuit boards because of their high insulation impedance and wide frequency response.
Organic film capacitors: Made of materials such as polypropylene film and polyester film, they have excellent performance, a wide variety of varieties, and a wide range of applications. They are suitable for a variety of electronic devices.

2. What is a paper film capacitor?
Paper film capacitors are actually a conceptual error because "paper film capacitors" are not a standard type of capacitor. Based on the information provided, you may want to ask about paper capacitors and film capacitors.
Paper capacitors
Paper capacitors are capacitors that use paper as a dielectric. It consists of thin paper as the dielectric and aluminum foil as the electrode, which is wound into a cylindrical shape and then impregnated with a shell or epoxy resin. Paper capacitors have the following characteristics:
Low cost: Paper capacitors are usually low-cost and suitable for mass production.
Large loss: Due to its material properties, paper capacitors have large losses.
Application scenarios: Mainly used for bypass, coupling, filtering, etc. in low-frequency circuits. -
3. Are film capacitors suitable for audio?
Suitable
Film capacitors are very suitable for audio applications. Film capacitors perform well in audio circuits and have the following advantages:
Non-polarity: Film capacitors have no positive or negative poles, which gives them greater flexibility in circuit design.
High insulation impedance: The insulation impedance of film capacitors is very high, which can effectively reduce leakage current in the circuit and improve the stability of the circuit.
Excellent frequency characteristics: Film capacitors have a wide frequency response and can provide stable capacitance performance in the high and low frequency ranges, which is suitable for various frequency changes in audio circuits.
Low dielectric loss: The dielectric loss of film capacitors is very small, which means that during the transmission of audio signals, less energy is lost and the integrity of the signal is maintained.
Self-healing properties: Film capacitors have self-healing properties and can automatically repair internal defects when they occur, extending their service life. -
4. Will the performance of film capacitors degrade?
Yes
The performance of film capacitors will degrade. The performance degradation of film capacitors is mainly due to their internal structure and material properties.
Reasons for performance degradation
Metal plating oxidation: During the capacitor manufacturing process, there is a trace amount of air between the film layers, which may be ionized under the action of the electric field to produce ozone. Ozone is a strong oxidant that oxidizes the metal plating to produce non-conductive metal oxides, resulting in a reduction in the plate area and a decrease in the capacitor capacity.
Humid air: During the winding process of film capacitors, if the workshop environment is not properly controlled, there will be a large amount of humid air. These humid air will produce air ionization reactions when the capacitor is working, generating ozone, which further causes the capacitor capacity to decay.
Poor quality materials: The film materials used are of poor quality, such as uneven evaporation and defects on the film, which will cause the capacitor capacity to decay.
