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 are the uses of power film capacitors?
Power film capacitors are widely used in power systems, communication equipment, automotive electronics and household appliances.
Power system
In power systems, power film capacitors are mainly used in high-voltage direct current transmission (HVDC) and reactive power compensation devices. HVDC transmission has the advantages of long transmission distance, low loss and small impact on the environment. Power film capacitors can effectively improve the voltage stability of the system, reduce voltage fluctuations and improve the quality of electric energy. In addition, power film capacitors can also be used in reactive power compensation devices. By adjusting the reactive power in the power grid, the power factor of the power grid can be improved, line loss can be reduced and the utilization rate of electric energy can be improved.
Communication equipment
In communication equipment, power film capacitors are mainly used in devices such as filters, couplers and isolators. Filters are key components in communication equipment, which are used to eliminate noise and interference in signals. Power film capacitors are small in size, light in weight and have good frequency characteristics, which can effectively improve the performance of filters. Couplers and isolators are used for signal transmission and isolation. Power film capacitors can achieve high-frequency and high-isolation coupling and isolation functions to meet the high-performance requirements of communication equipment.
Automotive electronics
In the field of automotive electronics, power film capacitors are used in electronic control units (ECUs), motor controllers, and battery management systems. ECUs are the core components of automotive electronic systems and are responsible for controlling various functions of the car. Power film capacitors can improve their reliability and stability. Motor controllers are key components of electric vehicles and are responsible for controlling the speed and torque of the motor. Power film capacitors can achieve efficient and high-precision motor control functions. Battery management systems are responsible for monitoring and managing battery status. Power film capacitors can improve their accuracy and stability.
Household appliances
In the field of household appliances, power film capacitors are mainly used in home appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines. These home appliances usually require high power and high-frequency applications. The high-frequency filtering and bypass characteristics of power film capacitors make them perform well in these applications. -
3. Can film capacitors be used for AC?
Yes
Film capacitors can be used for AC. Film capacitors can work normally in AC circuits and have specific application scenarios and advantages.
Structure and working principle of film capacitors
Film capacitors are mainly composed of metal foil (or foil obtained by metallizing plastic) as electrode plates and plastic film as dielectric. Common plastic films include polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene or polycarbonate. These capacitors are usually made by winding or stacking processes to form a cylindrical structure. -
4. What are the alternatives to film capacitors?
CL21 capacitors, MPB capacitors, CBB13, CBB81, MMKP82 capacitors
Alternatives to film capacitors mainly include CL21 capacitors, MPB capacitors, CBB13, CBB81 and MMKP82 capacitors. These alternatives have their own advantages and disadvantages in performance and applicable scenarios, and the specific choice depends on specific needs.
CL21 capacitors
CL21 capacitors and CBB22 capacitors can replace each other in applications such as filtering. CL21 capacitors are more stable than CBB22 capacitors under high-frequency conditions, so CL21 capacitors are more preferred in high-frequency circuits. However, CL21 capacitors are more expensive and perform better in high-frequency circuits.
MPB capacitors
MPB capacitors are boxed metallized polypropylene film capacitors with the same core as CBB22 capacitors, but with a plastic shell, which has better resistance to high temperature, moisture and sealing performance. MPB capacitors can replace CBB22 capacitors in high frequency, DC, AC and pulse high current applications, but their prices are relatively high.
CBB13, CBB81 and MMKP82 capacitors
These capacitors have a higher voltage resistance, up to 3000V, and are suitable for applications requiring higher voltages. However, they are also relatively expensive and larger in size.
