Film Capacitor

By Sweetwater on May 12, 2010

Though you might think this was a capacitor designed for use during movie shoots, rather, this is a capacitor constructed using a polymer (plastic) film, such as polycarbonate, polystyrene, polypropylene, Mylar (polyester), and metal foil. The basic idea is to create a dielectric (an insulating layer between conductive layers) by taking plastic film and rolling it up with aluminum or copper foil. Film capacitors are highly stable, and deal well with high frequencies, making them a good choice for filters and other signal applications.

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. No interest will be charged on the promo balance if you pay it off, in full, within the promo period. If you do not, interest will be charged on the promo balance from the purchase date. The required minimum monthly payments may or may not pay off the promo balance before the end of the promo period, depending on purchase amount, promo length and payment allocation. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases and, after promo period ends, to the promo balance. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.

Applies only to select items from this manufacturer. Ask your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for more details.
