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?
