If you know what a capacitor is then a TFC refers to the way the capacitor is made. Boundary layers are separated by thin insulated film to provide compact multi-use capacitors for applications such as cell phones, avioniics etc.

A film capacitor is a capacitor in which metal foil is used as an electrode, and plastic films such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene or polycarbonate are overlapped from both ends and then wound into a cylindrical structure.

According to the type of plastic film, there are polyethylene capacitors (also known as Mylar capacitors), polypropylene capacitors (also known as PP capacitors), polystyrene capacitors (also known as PS capacitors) and polycarbonate capacitors.

What is a capacitor made of?

A basic capacitor is made up of two conductors separated by an insulator, or dielectric. The dielectric can be made of paper, plastic, mica, ceramic, glass, a vacuum or nearly any other nonconductive material. Some capacitors are called electrolytics, meaning that their dielectric is made up of a thin layer of oxide formed on a aluminum or tantalum foil conductor.


What is milar capacitor?

Capacitors are named after the type of dielectric used to separate the plates. So a mylar capacitor uses a mylar dielectric. Mylar is the trade name for a form of plastic film manufactured by Dupont.

Whether film capacitors can be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitor?

Film capacitors cannot be replaced with ceramic or mica capacitors if used for analog signal processing. However, mica capacitors can be replaced with ceramic capacitors in general.


What makes the capacitor to store charges?

A capacitor consists of two plates (foils ...) separated by an insulating medium. The insulating medium may be air, oil, a plastic film, and so on, and is known as the dielectric. The charge on the capacitor is actually stored by slightly distorting the molecules in the dielectric. The quality of a dielectric is measured by a factor known as K, and a higher K means that the molecule can store a larger distortion. When we discharge the capacitor, the molecules are allowed to relax to their uncharged state.

How electrolytic capacitor work?

In an electrolytic capacitor the dielectric is a thin corrosion layer formed on the surface of a metal plate, the other plate of the capacitor is a moist electrolyte paste. This very thin dielectric allows electrolytic capacitors to have very high values of capacitance in small packages, but has two disadvantages: low breakdown voltage & polarization of the capacitor. It is very important that the polarity of an electrolytic capacitor not be reversed. If the polarity is reversed the thin corrosion layer erodes until the capacitor has no dielectric and shorts out, allowing electrolyses to produce hydrogen and oxygen gas in the moist electrolyte paste. The gas pressure eventually rises to the point that the case ruptures and the capacitor explodes.
