PLASTIC FILMS
USED IN CAPACITORS
The capacitance value of a
capacitor depends on the area
of the dielectric separating the
two conductors, its thickness
and the dielectric constant.
Other properties of the film
such as the temperature
coefficient, the dissipation
factor, the voltage handling
capabilities, its suitability to be
metallized etc. also influence
the choice of the dielectric.

This film has a relatively high
dielectric constant which
makes it suitable for designs
of a capacitor with high
volumetric efficiency. It also
has high temperature stability,
high voltage and pulse
handling capabilities and can
be produced in very low
thickness. It can also be
metallized. Polyester is a
popular dielectric for plain film
capacitors
as
well
as
metallized film capacitors.
POLYPROPYLENE FILM
The dielectric constant of polypropylene is slightly higher than that of polyester which makes the capacitors relatively bigger in size. This film has
a low dissipation factor and excellent voltage and pulse handling capabilities together with a low and negative temperature coefficient which is
an ideal characteristic for many designs. Polypropylene has the capability to be metallized.
POLYSTYRENE FILM
The dielectric constant of Polystyrene is relatively lower resulting in larger physical size of capacitors. Though the temperature handling
capability of this film is lower than that of the other films, it is extremely stable within the range. Its low dissipation factor and the negative, near
linear temperature coefficient characteristics make it the ideal dielectric for precision capacitors. Polystyrene cannot be metallized.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
ELECTRICAL - BASIC PARAMETERS
1.1 RATED CAPACITANCE
The nominal or rated value of capacitance is measured at 25 °C in an measuring bridge with 1K Hz
source, free of harmonics. Please refer to relevant series for the range of capacitance value covered.
Capacitance is frequency and temperature dependent. The variation pattern of capacitance with
temperature and frequency is explained in sections 2.1 and 2.2.
1.2 CAPACITANCE TOLERANCE
The permitted variation of actual value from the nominal value is termed the tolerance. The tolerance
is expressed in percentage. The standard tolerances for plastic film capacitors are ±5% (J), ±10% (K)
and ±20% (M).
1.3 RATED VOLTAGE
The voltage at which the capacitor can operate continuously up to a temperature of 85 °C (unless
otherwise specified) is the rated voltage. As this is a critical parameter for choosing a capacitor, the
case sizes are listed in a matrix of capacitance value and rated voltage.
1.4 CATEGORY VOLTAGE
The maximum voltage that may be applied continuously over the temperature range is termed the
category voltage. This is same as the rated voltage up to 85 °C unless otherwise specified in the
climactic category of the product. Above 85 °C a derating has to be applied depending upon the
dielectric.
1.5 OPERATING TEMPERATURE
This is the temperature range with in which the capacitor can function as specified in the climactic
category. Please refer to relevant sections for derating above the temperature at which the full rated
voltage can be applied.
1.6 DISSIPATION FACTOR
This is the measurement of tangent of loss angle (tan d) and is expressed as a percentage.
Measurement of dissipation factor is carried out at 1 K Hz. or 10 K Hz. as specified in the data sheet
of the relevant series at 25 °C. Dissipation factor is temperature and frequency dependent. The
nature of variation of dissipation factor with temperature and frequency for different dielectric are
explained in Figures 2.3A to 2.3C and 2.4A to 2.4C.
1.7 INSULATION RESISTANCE
Insulation Resistance is the electrical resistance offered by the capacitor. The Insulation Resistance
is measured directly in Mega Ohms where as for higher capacitance values it is expressed in seconds
as the product of M Ohm and µF.
1.8 PULSE RISE TIME
The pulse rise time or dv/dt rating is the capability of the capacitor to handle rapid changes in voltage
or pulse. This is expressed in terms of Volts per µseconds. The dv/ dt rating of a capacitor depends
upon the dielectric as well as the design and construction of the capacitors. The dv/dt values of
different types of capacitors are listed in the corresponding data sheets of the capacitors.

ELECTRICAL - AC APPLICATIONS
When a capacitor is connected to alternating voltage its
electrodes are alternately charged positive and negative.
The charge alternates with a rhythm of double the
frequency of the alternating voltage. Thus there is
alternating current flowing in the leads of the capacitor.
3.1 ACROSS THE LINE APPLICATIONS
In this application the capacitor is connected between the
lines, ie, between the main phase and neutral line
terminals. In this type of application, failure of capacitor
due to short circuit will not result in an electric shock. The
capacitors rated for normal across the line applications
are termed class-X2 capacitors.
3.2 BETWEEN LINE AND GROUND APPLICATIONS
In this type of application the capacitors are connected
between the line and the ground, ie, between the phase
terminal and the body. In this application, failure of the
capacitor due to short circuit could possibly expose
somebody touching the appliance to an electric shock.
The capacitors rated for this application are termed class-
Y capacitors.
