There are many types and models of capacitors, and film capacitors are one of the them. Film capacitors have the characteristics of non-polarity, high insulation resistance, high voltage resistance, wide operating temperature range, and good self-healing properties, which are widely used in the electronics industry. Film capacitors are suitable for filter circuits due to their own advantages. Let's first understand what is filtering in the filter circuit.
Filtering is to filter unnecessary signal waves in the circuit and remove specific band frequencies in the signal in the circuit. It is a measure to suppress and prevent interference. In an AC circuit, there are AC voltage or current signals of various frequencies transmitted in the circuit, but some frequency signals are not what we need, and cause interference in the circuit. In order to remove these interference signals, we need to form a filter circuit.
The filter circuit allows signals in a certain frequency range to pass through without loss, while preventing signals in another frequency range from passing through. Using this filter circuit can extract useful signals.
This kind of circuit was first used in the field of communication. The reason why the film capacitor can be used in this kind of circuit is that it can remove the ripple in the voltage in the filter circuit, absorb the peak of the voltage, and remove the valley of the voltage. That is what is mentioned above: passing signals in a certain frequency range while blocking signals in a certain frequency range.
It should be noted that when the film capacitor is used in the filter circuit, it is necessary to pay attention to the frequency of the ripple in the filter circuit, the milliamp of the ripple current, the volts of the DC voltage, the size of the AC voltage, and the specification and model of the film capacitor. There are many, not all of them can be used in the filter circuit, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate film capacitor.
If you don't know how to choose a film capacitor, you can hand it over to the film capacitor manufacturer to provide you with a suitable solution.
