Product type
Polypropylene film capacitors are passive electronic components that store and release electrical energy in a circuit. They are made from a thin layer of polypropylene plastic film as the dielectric material, which is sandwiched between metal electrodes. This construction allows for a stable capacitance value and excellent performance over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies.
| Capacitance range | 0.1 nF to 100 µF |
| Voltage rating | 50 V to 1000 V |
| Temperature range | -40°C to +85°C |
| Tolerance | ±5% to ±20% |
| Dielectric loss factor | 0.1% to 1% |
When selecting polypropylene film capacitors, buyers should consider the required capacitance value, voltage rating, and temperature range for their specific application. It's also important to specify the tolerance level needed for the circuit's performance. Additionally, inquire about dielectric loss factors and any relevant certifications to ensure compliance with industry standards.
