Film Capacitor | Capacitor Types | Capacitor Guide
A film capacitor is a capacitor that uses a thin plastic film as the dielectric. They are relatively cheap, stable over time and have low self-inductance and ESR, while some film capacitors can withstand large reactive power values.
Film Capacitors
Plastic film capacitors are generally subdivided into film/foil capacitors and metalized film capacitors. Film / foil capacitors basically consist of two metal foil electrodes that are separated by an insulating plastic film also called dielectric. The terminals are connected to the end-faces of the electrodes by means of welding or soldering.

Film Capacitors
When voltage is applied between facing conductors, the insulator (or space) sandwiched between them will cause dielectric polarization by electrostatic induction, thus leading to the accumulation of electric charges (charging). The capacitor is a device (part) that performs this charging and discharging of accumulated charges as its function.
