Structure of film capacitors

Film capacitors are also known as plastic film capacitors.
It uses plastic film as the dielectric.
Some of the main characteristics of film capacitors in application are:
Non-polarity, high insulation impedance, excellent frequency characteristics (wide frequency response), and high dielectric loss Based on the above advantages, film capacitors are widely used in analogue circuits. Especially in the signal interconnection part, it is necessary to use capacitors with good frequency characteristics and very low dielectric loss to ensure that the signal is transmitted without too much distortion. Among all plastic film capacitors, polypropylene (PP) capacitors and polystyrene (PS) capacitors have the most significant characteristics.
1 Basic structure:
Film capacitor internal composition is mainly: metal foil (or in the plastic metallised foil) as the electrode plate, with plastic as the dielectric. The film capacitor is made by winding or laminating process. The different arrangement of foil and film gives rise to a variety of construction methods.
