Film Capacitors (Electronic Equipment Use)

Zoom
Panasonic offers a large product lineup of film capacitors (Electronic Equipment Use), from radial lead-type products for mid/high voltage and high frequency, power supply noise suppressors (Safety Standard Approval), to surface mount-type products for low/mid-range voltage. The company also utilizes its advanced technologies to work on downsizing and enhancing safety and performance.

Radial lead-type film capacitors that achieve downsizing and high safety
(ECWFA, ECWFD, ECWFE)

Radial lead-type film capacitors for high voltage/frequency and Safety standard approved products have a fuse in each of the cells formed by separating vapor deposition films using Panasonic's original vapor deposition pattern technology. When a local breakdown occurs due to an overcurrent, etc., only the fuse in one cell is cut off, allowing the capacitor to maintain its overall function. The use of thin films has enabled downsizing in addition to high safety.

Construction of inner electrodes

Each cell has a fuse.

Construction of inner electrodes

Operation of fuse function

When a breakdown occurs, the fuse of the cell is cut off by a short circuit current. The cell of the broken part becomes an open circuit, allowing the capacitor to maintain its function.

Surface mount type

Features

The ECHU (X) and ECWU (X) series solve chip standing problems during reflow with their improved electrode structure.

While parts with a small size and mass are likely to experience chip standing during reflow mounting, the ECHU(X) and ECWU(X) series are constructed with external electrodes with a large surface area to prevent this phenomenon.
The chip standing failure rate has dropped significantly.

  • ECHU(X) series image

  • Conventional product [ECHU(B) series]

  • Conventional product [ECHU(B) series] image

The ECHU (X) and ECWU (X) series guarantee THB 500 h even without resin coating.

The adoption of new vapor deposition technologies for the ECHU(X) and ECWU(X) series has significantly improved the adhesive force of their inner electrodes to the film (aluminum vapor deposition film), thereby suppressing the oxidation deterioration of the inner electrodes. This has allowed these series, although uncoated, to achieve a THB-based guarantee (85ºC, 85% RH, WV, 500 h)
