AVX Corporation Film Capacitors FFB14E0206K

The FFB14E0206K is a film capacitor designed for DC filtering applications, featuring a capacitance of 20OºF and a voltage rating of 100VDC. It is constructed with a polypropylene dielectric, which provides a high dielectric strength and a self-healing capability, ensuring reliability over time. The capacitor operates within a temperature range of -55¬8C to +105¬8C and has a low dielectric loss, with a tan delta of 2 x 10^-4 for frequencies up to 1MHz. This component is RoHS compliant and adheres to several international standards, including IEC 60384-16 for fixed metallized polypropylene film dielectric capacitors. The FFB series capacitors are particularly noted for their ability to withstand higher surge voltages compared to electrolytic capacitors, making them suitable for applications requiring robust performance. The expected lifetime of the capacitor is characterized by a gradual loss of capacitance rather than catastrophic failure, which enhances safety in circuit designs. Engineers considering this capacitor for their projects will find it a viable alternative to traditional electrolytic capacitors, especially in environments where reliability and longevity are critical.
