Frequently Asked Questions

What types of film capacitors does Faratronic offer?

Faratronic offers a comprehensive range of film capacitors including DC-Link capacitors for inverters, snubber capacitors for power electronics, EMI suppression capacitors (X and Y class), power factor correction capacitors, and automotive-grade capacitors qualified to AEC-Q200 standards.

Contact our FAE team to discuss your specific application requirements. We can help you select the optimal capacitor type based on voltage, capacitance, ripple current, and operating temperature requirements.

Are Faratronic capacitors suitable for automotive applications?

Yes, Faratronic offers a wide range of AEC-Q200 qualified capacitors specifically designed for automotive applications. These capacitors meet stringent automotive reliability standards and are suitable for EV charging systems, onboard chargers, DC-DC converters, and motor drives.

For automotive applications, specify AEC-Q200 qualified parts. Our FAE team can provide automotive-grade capacitor recommendations with full qualification documentation.

What is the typical lifetime of Faratronic film capacitors?

Faratronic film capacitors offer excellent lifetime performance, typically rated for 100,000 hours at rated voltage and temperature. The self-healing metallized film technology ensures reliable operation even under demanding conditions. Actual lifetime depends on operating voltage, temperature, and ripple current.

For lifetime-critical applications, provide your operating conditions (voltage, temperature, ripple current) and our FAE team can calculate expected lifetime using Faratronic's reliability models.

Does Faratronic offer custom capacitor designs?

Yes, Faratronic provides custom capacitor design services for specialized applications. Custom options include specific capacitance values, voltage ratings, physical dimensions, terminal configurations, and special packaging requirements.

For custom capacitor requirements, contact our FAE team with your specifications. We can coordinate with Faratronic engineering to develop a custom solution that meets your exact needs.

What certifications do Faratronic capacitors have?

Faratronic capacitors carry multiple international certifications including ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management, IATF 16949 for automotive quality, and AEC-Q200 for automotive component qualification. All products are RoHS and REACH compliant.

For applications requiring specific certifications, specify your requirements when requesting quotes. We can provide certificates of compliance and qualification reports.

What are the advantages of Faratronic metallized film capacitors?

Faratronic metallized film capacitors offer several advantages: self-healing technology that prevents catastrophic failure, high ripple current capability for power applications, low ESR and ESL for high-frequency operation, long lifetime (up to 100,000 hours), and stable capacitance over temperature and frequency.

For power electronics applications, Faratronic film capacitors are an excellent choice. Contact our FAE team for application-specific recommendations and technical documentation.

How do I select the right Faratronic capacitor for my application?

Selecting the right capacitor requires considering several parameters: rated voltage (typically 1.5-2x operating voltage), capacitance value, ripple current rating, operating temperature range, physical size constraints, and application-specific requirements (automotive, industrial, etc.).

Use our online capacitor selection tool or contact our FAE team with your application details. We can provide selection guidance, Spice models, and application notes to ensure optimal capacitor selection.
