What is 'understanding chip capacitors' by Johanson dielectrics?

“Understanding Chip Capacitors” from Johanson Dielectrics offers valuable insights for design engineers on the functionality, selection, and application of chip capacitors in electronic circuits. It covers the basics of

Which film capacitor is right for your application?

There are several categories of film capacitors that can impact which is right for an application: Metallized polyester film capacitors use a thin layer of metal, such as aluminum or zinc, deposited on the polyester film as the electrodes. They offer high capacitance, low ESR, low cost, and good self-healing properties.

What is the maximum capacitance of a film capacitor?

Standard capacitance values of the series now range from 6.8 µF to 470 µF, with a maximum working voltage of 35 V DC in a molded package measuring 7.3 mm x 4.3 mm x 1.9 mm. Among an extensive range of film capacitors, CDE's Type FCA acrylic film capacitors like the FCA0805C104M-J2 offer high capacitance values in standard surface mount case sizes.

What are the different types of capacitors?

Three common options—multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs), film, or aluminum electrolytic—offer advantages and disadvantages, and there are myriad variations within each category. Choosing the right type ensures the final product has enough energy storage, fits in the available space, and functions reliably for its intended use.

Which film capacitors have high capacitance?

Among an extensive range of film capacitors, CDE's Type FCA acrylic film capacitors like the FCA0805C104M-J2 offer high capacitance values in standard surface mount case sizes. The series offers a capacitance range of 0.10 µF to 1.0 µF.

What are the applications of metallized paper film capacitors?

Suitable applications include those that require high temperature performance, such as automotive, industrial, and telecom. Metallized paper film capacitors rely on metallized paper film as the dielectric material. They offer high capacitance, high voltage rating, low ESR, low dissipation factor, and high self-healing properties.
