Paper & Plastic Film Capacitors Ride High on Energy Efficiency Goals in Power Electronics
Growing focus on achieving energy efficiency in power electronics in consumer and industrial electronics segments is poised to drive the global market for Paper & Plastic Film Capacitors to reach US$2.8 billion by 2022 . While ceramic and aluminum capacitors dominate the global capacitors market, paper and plastic film capacitors, although accounting for a smaller share is attracting considerable demand from key electronic segments. Paper & plastic film capacitors find use in wide range of electronic equipment and are also used in many AC and DC electronics and microelectronics circuits. Compared to ceramic and aluminum electrolytic capacitors, paper and plastic film capacitors possess novel properties that make them highly suitable for use in several general-purpose and industrial applications. Film capacitors have very low ESL and ESR values and despite being physically larger and expensive than aluminum electrolytic capacitors, these capacitors have higher surge and pulse ...
