Film capacitor use a thin plastic film as a dielectric. The film of this capacitor is made extremely thin, generally with the thickness under 1 µm through a sophisticated film drawing process. Once manufactured, the film is either metallized or left untreated depending on the application. The structure is further completed by the addition of electrodes after which the entire assembly is mounted into a case for the protection from certain environmental factors. Film capacitors are not polarized and therefore are largely preferred for AC signal and power use. Typical  film capacitors  have capacitances ranging from below 1nF to 30µF. They can retain these high precision values for a longer period of time as compared to other capacitors. Owing to this, their aging process is relatively slower than other capacitors including electrolytic capacitor. Thus, low average failure rate results in long shelf and service life and high reliability. Furthermore, film capacitors ...
