The three key dielectric properties needed when choosing a good film material for a capacitor are the dielectric constant or the relative permittivity, the dissipation factor and the breakdown strength .
Film capacitors are also known as plastic film, polymer film, or film dielectric capacitors. Film capacitors are inexpensive and come with a nearly limitless shelf life. The film capacitor uses a thin dielectric material with the other side of the capacitor metalized. Depending on the application, the film capacitor is rolled into thin films.
Like all capacitors, metallized film capacitors incorporate metal plates separated by a dielectric. Film capacitors are also known as plastic film, polymer film, or film dielectric capacitors. Film capacitors are inexpensive and come with a nearly limitless shelf life.
For more detail, we refer to the document “Soldering Guidelines for Film Capacitors”: Burning droplets or glowing parts falling down shall not ignite the tissue paper. Burning droplets or glowing parts falling down shall not ignite the tissue paper.
Their particular characteristics will be further discussed in Section 2.3. Mixed capacitors consist of a sheet of paper used in conjunction with polymeric films and impregnated with a non-chlorinated liquid dielectric, while all-film capacitors only use polymeric films, also impregnated with a non-chlorinated liquid dielectric.
In comparison, polypropylene metallized film capacitors and double-sided metallized film capacitors have a self-healing property, and they are suitable for use in low pulse and medium pulse applications. These two types of capacitors are suitable for protecting various switching devices including thyristors, FETs and IGBT modules.
