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.
The use of this capacitor reduces losses even on transmissions with high frequencies. Its structure is made of “Plastic Films.” These films are made to be very thin. Once the “Film drawing procedure” is done, the created film can be coated with a metal or left as is, depending on the use.

Film capacitors can be optimized through diferent materials and manufacturing methods. Capacitors are all unique; their fundamentals, the manufacturing processes, advantages and even technology trends are worth highlighting. There are diferent grades and applications critical to considering before choosing the best option.

Its structure is made of “Plastic Films.” These films are made to be very thin. Once the “Film drawing procedure” is done, the created film can be coated with a metal or left as is, depending on the use. The generic method of development for these capacitors begins with the removal of a thin layer of plastic film.
