In electrical engineering, a capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy by accumulating electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other. The capacitor was originally known as the condenser,a term still encountered in a few compound names, such as the condenser.

Customer ServiceGenerally speaking, electrolytic capacitors offer high capacitance per unit volume, are polarized, low cost, high-loss, and exhibit lousy parameter stability. Non-electrolytic device types in contrast tend to be bulky for their ratings, are non-polar, relatively expensive, low-loss, and with a handful of notable exceptions, exhibit fair to
Customer ServiceA common but overly simplistic approach to achieving capacitor cost savings is to shrink the size of a component for a given capacitance and voltage rating in hopes that the resultant material reduction will instantly
Customer ServiceTherefore, based on their structure, film capacitors can be broadly classified into two types: "wound type" and "stacked type". Aluminum electrolytic capacitors (AECs) offer a superior cost-to-energy ratio and volume
Customer ServiceIt is common for capacitor run, or capacitor start, capacitors to have a nominal value within a range, and have tolerances of up to +/-10% since they are cheaply made. Single phase electric motors generally need a start capacitor to energise a second phase winding for motor starting for a very short period of time. Start capacitors therefore have larger capacitance values than the

Customer ServiceLeyden Jar: History of Capacitors and Their Structure. The first capacitor was called the Leyden Jar. These early charge storage devices were full of water and served as conductors, but they eventually evolved into a glass bottle with metallic foil coating the inside and the outside of the bottle. The foil acts as conductors separated by glass, which acts as a
Customer ServiceCapacitors with high capacitance will store large amount of electric charge whereas the capacitors with low capacitance will store small amount of electric charge. The capacitance of a capacitor can be compared with the size of a water tank: the larger the water tank, the more water it can store. In the similar way, the larger the capacitance, the more electric charge or electricity it

Customer ServiceSupercapacitors are a new type of energy storage device between batteries and conventional electrostatic capacitors. Compared with conventional electrostatic capacitors, supercapacitors have outstanding advantages such as high capacity, high power density, high charging/discharging speed, and long cycling life, which make them widely used in many fields
Customer ServiceIt is a basic passive electronic component along with resistors and inductors. All capacitors consist of the same basic structure, two conducting plates separated by an insulator, called the dielectric, that can be polarized with the application of an electric field (Figure 1). Capacitance is proportional to the plate area, A, and inversely

Customer ServiceThe film capacitor is a type of non-polarized capacitor and is quite popular due to its versatility and low cost. Even though it increases the cost and also adds an extra step in the manufacturing process, it has superior stability and lesser dimensions than that in a film foil capacitor. The thickness of the plastic film can be as low as 0.6µm to get the desired
Customer ServiceA large capacitance capacitor can be made by increasing the area of the electrodes and increasing the size of the capacitor. However, the use of large capacitors makes electronic devices larger and heavier, which leads to higher costs.
The ratio of the electric charge (Q) accumulated on the electrode to the applied voltage (V) is called the capacitance (C) of the capacitor. Capacitance is an index of the ability of an electrode to store an electric charge, and the unit called farad (abbreviated as F) is used in honor of the British physicist Michael Faraday.
Capacitors are electronic components that store, filter and regulate electrical energy and current flow and are one of the essential passive components used in circuit boards.
Normally, the inductance in capacitors is small ( 1– 20 nH), and its influence can generally be seen only at high frequencies. The frequency at which the capacitance and inductance of a capacitor cause equally large but opposite reactance is called the self-resonance frequency.
At a fundamental level, capacitors are made of two electrodes (conductors, often metal) separated by a dielectric (insulator). When an electrical signal is applied to one of the electrodes, energy is stored in the electrical field between the two separated electrodes.
Another cost-saving method employed by global manufacturers of plastic film capacitors includes the intentional production of large volumes of radial leaded plastic film capacitors in low-cost production regions of the world (in particular, China, India and Malaysia).
