What happens if a capacitor is exposed to high temperatures?

When exposing the capacitors to high temperatures, there appears the shrinking and expansion of the dielectric films, which eventually leads to disconnection due to the different thermal mismatch with the end sprayed metal. This delamination or defects will cause higher impedance and dissipation factors, as described in the next section.

Which film material is used in the production of Vishay film capacitors?

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.

Why should I use Vishay film capacitors?

The influence of high temperatures or vapor accelerates the purifying but also the destructive progress. Please consult Vishay film capacitors if you have doubts about the usage of your cleaning solvent or if the cleaning process exceeds a solvent temperature of 40 °C and a cleaning time of one minute.

How do metalized film capacitors work?

The electrodes of metalized film capacitors consist of an extremely thin metal layer (0.02 μm to 0.1 μm) that is vacuum deposited either onto the dielectric film or onto a carrier film. The opposing and extended metalized film layers of the wound capacitor element are connected to one another by flame spraying different metals to the end-faces.

What are plastic film capacitors?

Plastic film capacitors are generally subdivided into film/foil capacitors and metalized film capacitors. Film / foil capacitors basically consist of two metal foil electrodes that are separated by an insulating plastic film also called dielectric. The terminals are connected to the end-faces of the electrodes by means of welding or soldering.

When should I consult Vishay film capacitors?

Please consult Vishay film capacitors if you have doubts about the usage of your cleaning solvent or if the cleaning process exceeds a solvent temperature of 40 °C and a cleaning time of one minute. It represents the characteristic shape of the failure rate over the operation period.
