Plastic Film Capacitors Industry Overview
The plastic film capacitors market is fragmented and has several major players. These major players with prominent shares in the market are focusing on expanding their customer base across foreign countries. The market comprises Panasonic Corporation, Vishay Intertechnology Inc., TDK Corporation, AVX Corporation, KEMET Corporation, and many others. These companies leverage strategic collaborative initiatives to increase their market shares and profitability.
- November 2023: Electrocube has developed a range of metalized polypropylene film capacitors specifically tailored for high-power inverters used in various military, commercial, land, and sea applications. These capacitors have been carefully designed and optimized to function exceptionally well in high temperature and high current scenarios with AC and pulsing signals. Furthermore, their remarkable capability to withstand high surge currents without deterioration makes them an outstanding alternative to electrolytic capacitors.
- May 2023: Sabic's Elcres introduced its polycarbonate copolymer-based HTV150A films, which can potentially decrease dissipation losses by up to 40% when exposed to temperatures up to 150°C and frequencies up to 100 kHz. This material has already demonstrated its effectiveness in thin-wall capacitor films. By utilizing Elcres HTV150A dielectric films with lower dissipation losses, engineers can benefit from improved operating efficiency, reduced internal heat generation, and more stable hot spot temperatures, resulting in increased flexibility when designing capacitors. It is anticipated that these films will lead to reduced dissipation losses in capacitors.
