Why jb Axial Film Capacitors Excel in Pulse Applications
In pulse applications, engineers face a tough challenge: selecting a capacitor that not only withstands high voltage surges but also maintains stability over time without failure. jb Capacitors’ JFG Axial Film Capacitor Series is engineered exactly for this.
Whether you’re designing switching power supplies, audio crossovers, or pulse discharge circuits, finding a durable, low-loss, self-healing axial film capacitor makes a critical difference. That’s where the jb JFG series stands out — offering both cycloidal and flat oval structures across polyester (PET) and polypropylene (PP) film types to match your precise requirements.
What Makes jb JFG Capacitors Ideal for Pulse Circuits?
- High Pulse Endurance: Low dissipation factor and excellent self-healing capability ensure reliability in surge-heavy environments.
- Wide Capacitance Range: 0.01µF to 68µF, with voltage ratings up to 1250VDC.
- Flexible Structures: Cycloidal (JFGA/JFGC) or Flat Oval (JFGB/JFGD), optimizing PCB layout and heat dissipation.
- Material Options: PET for general use, PP for high-frequency or high-voltage applications.
Applications That Rely on Pulse-Ready Capacitors
Common applications that benefit from pulse film capacitors include:
- Pulse forming networks
- Flash circuits
- High-energy discharge circuits
- Resonant power converters
- EMI/RFI suppression
Thanks to their compact size and axial lead design, jb JFG capacitors are especially suitable for tight mechanical constraints while maintaining superior insulation resistance and dielectric stability.
How to Choose Between Cycloidal and Flat Oval?
Both designs offer excellent electrical properties, but the structure you choose affects layout and cooling:
- Cycloidal: Ideal when space along one axis is less limited.
- Flat Oval: Better for height-constrained or high-density boards.
- Polypropylene (JFGC/JFGD): Recommended for high-frequency switching to minimize energy loss.
