How Capacitance Error Affect Electronic Products

Oct. 09, 2023

Film capacitors are common electronic components that are widely used in various electronic devices due to their high stability, high dielectric constant, and low dielectric loss. However, when selecting film capacitors, it is often observed that the capacitance value differs from the nominal value, which is referred to as an error. In electronic products, errors can potentially affect the overall performance, reliability, and stability of the product, making the accuracy of electronic components crucial.


Capacitance errors in film capacitors are acceptable within a certain standard range, as it is impossible to guarantee complete absence of error. Even with a 99.9% accuracy, there will still be some level of error. The key is that this error falls within an acceptable standard range. In most cases, the capacitance errors in film capacitors do not significantly impact the performance of electronic products. However, excessive capacitance errors in film capacitors can have detrimental effects on electronic product performance.


How Capacitance Error Affect Electronic Products


Impact on Electronic Product Performance

Errors in the capacitance of film capacitors can lead to instability in voltage and current within circuits, thereby affecting the performance of electronic products. Excessive errors may result in misoperations or failures of electronic products, ultimately affecting the overall performance.


Impact on Electronic Product Reliability

Excessive errors in film capacitors can lead to instability in voltage and current within circuits, causing failures in electronic products. Such failures not only decrease the overall performance and reliability of the equipment but can also lead to accidents and hazards during operation.


Impact on the Lifespan of Electronic Products

The aging of film capacitors can lead to a decline in their performance, resulting in failures of electronic products. When electronic products experience failures during operation, it not only shortens the lifespan of the equipment but also poses potential risks and hazards.


Therefore, when designing and manufacturing electronic products, it is essential to minimize the errors in film capacitors to ensure the overall performance, reliability, and stability of the electronic products.
