Humidity and temperature have always been critical for film capacitors. Jon Rodrigues from Würth Elektronik discusses in this webinar impact of harsh environment conditions to film capacitors.
Depending on the application, a wide variety of environmental conditions can occur. The location of use also determines the resulting humidity and temperature. An application in subtropical countries has a different demand on the components than the application in countries with more moderate climatic conditions.
What can be done to meet such requirements?

- Consequence of harsh environment to film capacitor applications
In the field of discrete mains filter, there are special components, which are designed for such environmental conditions. We will take a closer look at these application and components in this 1-hour presentation partnered with Digi-Key Electronics.
