What is a Film Capacitor?
2024-08-26 20:49:59, What is a Film Capacitor?
Film capacitors, also known as plastic film capacitors, are capacitors with metal foil as electrodes, overlapping them with plastic films such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene or polycarbonate from both ends and winding them into a cylindrical structure.
  • 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. Is a film capacitor AC or DC?

    AC, DC
    Film capacitors can be used in both AC and DC circuits. According to the current type, film capacitors can be divided into DC film capacitors and AC film capacitors.
    DC film capacitors
    DC film capacitors are mainly used in DC circuits and have the following characteristics:
    Large capacity: has a higher capacitance.
    Low withstand voltage: the withstand voltage value is relatively low.
    Polarity: has positive and negative poles.
    Application scenarios: commonly used in motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), solar inverters, electronic ballasts, small automotive motors, household appliances, etc.
    AC film capacitors
    AC film capacitors are mainly used in AC circuits and have the following characteristics:
    Small capacity: relatively small capacitance.
    High withstand voltage: high withstand voltage value.
    Pass AC, block DC: conduct electricity in AC circuits, equivalent to open circuits in DC circuits.
    Application scenarios: widely used in industrial AC power supplies, asynchronous motor starting and operation, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and output filters of photovoltaic inverters, etc.

  • 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.
