Medium Power Film capacitors FFV3 General Description

DC FILTERING

DC FILTERING APPLICATIONS

The series uses a non-impregnated metallized polypropyleneor polyester dielectric, with the controlled self-healing process, specially treated to have a very high dielectric strength in oper- ating conditions up to 105°C. The FFV3 has been designed for printed circuit board mounting.

LIFETIME EXPECTANCY STANDARDS

One unique feature of this technology (as opposed to elec- trolytics) is how the capacitor reacts at the end of its lifetime. Whereas, with an electrolytic, there is a strong risk of explo- sion of the case. However, with our line of film capacitors, the capacitor will simply experience at the end of life a loss of capacitance of about 2%, with no risk of explosion.Please note that this is theoretical, however, as the capacitorcontinues to be functional even after this 2% decrease.
