Vishay film capacitors uses the following film materials in their production: Polyester film offers a high dielectric constant, and a high dielectric strength. It has further excellent self-healing properties and good temperature stability. The temperature coefficient of the material is positive.
Film capacitors are versatile components that can be designed into power electronics for industries ranging from consumer and renewables to automotive, aerospace and military. These capacitors come with very specific advantages including non-polarity, a high insulation resistance, low dielectric losses and self-healing capability.
Film and foil capacitors are typically potted for internal protection with a very soft, gel type material. ELANTAS Europe offers a broad portfolio of epoxy and polyurethane compounds to ensure the safety and reliability of these capacitors, ranging from very soft to rigid and stiff materials. Self-extinguishing Behaviour Thermal Resistance
Over the history of film capacitors, from a material perspective, the major breakthrough started with the move from paper to polymers, and especially to polypropylene, which finally became the dominant dielectric in film capacitors today.
The polyester film is most reliable and together with PP most used of the plastic films. It can be produced in thicknesses down to 0.7 μm (0.03 mils). Its tensional stability is high and its ε r ≈ 3.2. This has facilitated manufacture of one for organic dielectrics very space-saving capacitor.
The most common dielectric materials used in the construction of plastic film capacitors are polypropylene and polyester.
