Mylar Capacitor
The Mylar used in a Mylar capacitor is a type of polyester film which can withstand high temperature. This type of capacitor is one of the most common choices for use in instrumentation equipment and many high quality communication equipment units. There are variations in shape, sizes and style of construction, but possibly the most-recognized and long-lasting type is the green or brown resin-dipped radial type, which along with its small size makes it apt for circuit boards.
Features of Mylar capacitor
Mylar capacitors have some diverse features. They are high in demand as they have va ery small size and are lightweight. Moreover, they can be automatically inserted and have superior quality of heat resistance. They are also resistant to humidity as well as most solvents. They are dimensionally stable and tear-resistant with high physical and optical strength. They have excellent electrical and mechanical properties
Application of Mylar capacitors
There are different types of capacitors which vary in their characteristics. The materials present in a Mylar capacitor includes Mylar coated with aluminum, along with several other components which pave way for its various applications. They find application in audio circuits as well as speaker crossover circuits. They are also used for radio and digital application. In certain parts of a circuit where unwanted signals are to be avoided from interfering, Mylar capacitors prove to be of great use. A Mylar capacitor can, at times, also be used for timer circuits.
Conclusion
More and more developments are being made in the field of Mylar capacitor as they are highly applicable in the electric circuits. Mylar capacitors can handle a voltage range up to 1,800 volts. Mylar capacitors are used in TV sets, pulse circuits of radio and various other electronic equipment. They are smaller but stronger than those capacitors in which paper is used.
