Film and Foil Organic Dielectric Capacitors Comparison Charts

C 2.8   COMPARISON DIAGRAMS, ORGANIC DIELECTRICS

This page summarizes basic overview of film and foil organic dielectric capacitors.

The various dielectric types were described in more details on previous pages:

• POLYESTER (PET) / KT / MKT and POLYETHYLENE NAPHTALATE (PEN) Organic Dielectric Capacitors
• POLYPROPYLENE (PP) / KP / MKP and POLYCARBONATE (PC) / KC / MKC Organic Dielectric Capacitors
• POLYSTYRENE (PS), POLYPHENYLENE SULFIDE (PPS), TEFLON (PTFE) and POLYSULFONE (PSU) Organic Dielectric Capacitors
