In its simplest form, a capacitor consists of two conducting plates separated by an insulating material called the dielectric.

The capacitance is directly proportional to the surface areas of the plates, and is inversely proportional to the separation between the plates.

Capacitance also depends on the dielectric constant of the substance separating the plates.

A recent addition to the wide range of specialty products has been the introduction of a range of thin, coated films for use in capacitor wrapping.

A number of different films are available including polyester, PPS and PEN.

These films are coated with a thin layer of adhesive, which can be epoxy based or polyester depending on the application.

Coloured adhesives can also be supplied if required.
