Film/Foil Capacitor Construction

Construction with this dielectric is typically extended foil in either the film and foil types. The foil may be either aluminum or tin. Film-foil types are used when high peak currents are required or self-healing is perceived as a problem

Encasement

Typical encasements are wrap and fill, preformed box, epoxy or durez dipped and metal enclosed. Since polypropylene is not very sensitive to moisture absorption, versatile encasement is possible. It is, however, sensitive to temperatures above 105°C. This rules out some types of encasement. Physically small parts may experience problems in attachment to the circuit boards unless attention is given to thermal aspects.
