What are metallized capacitor films?
Metallized capacitor films have a thin coating of metal (commonly aluminium and zinc) deposited on them by vacuum deposition process. Several types and patterns are available to choose for metallization, depending on application and usage environment. This was the first metal used when metallized films were developed back in 1970s.
What is a film capacitor?
Capacitors are passive electrical components that store charge on electrodes that are separated by a dielectric material. In the case of film capacitors, these electrodes are thin layers of metal that are insulated by sheets of polymer or paper and co-wound into a tight roll, although vertically stacked configurations are also available.
Are metallized film capacitors self-healing?
However, the thick metal foils prevent these capacitors from exhibiting the self-healing phenomena observed in metallized film capacitors . Metallized film capacitors are non-polar. They consist of two polymer films on which thin coatings of metal have been deposited. The films are wound and packaged into a capacitor as shown in Fig. 1.
What is a metallized capacitor?
An M ( metallization) is prefixed to the short identification code of capacitors with metallized films. *) MFP and MFT capacitors are constructed using a combination of metal foils and metallized plastic films. They are not covered by DIN EN 60062:2005. The following table is a summary of important technical data.
What is a film/foil capacitor?
Film/foil capacitors consist of alternating layers of polymer or paper film and metal foil that are wound together. The foils are typically on the order of 6 μm in thickness, giving them higher current handling capabilities than a similarly sized metallized film capacitor [2, 3].
Are metallized film capacitors reliable in high humidity environments?
However, the plastic housing does not provide hermeticity, in contrast to the metal cans. Since epoxy resin encapsulants are more permeable to moisture than metal cans, testing must be conducted to ensure the reliability of metallized film capacitors in high humidity environments.
