SMD-PEN

Typical Characteristics and Graphs of the Polyethylene-Naphthalate (PEN) Film

Metallized Polyethylene-Naphthalate Type

SMD-PEN

Typical Applications

For general DC-applications e.g.
  • By-pass
  • Blocking
  • Coupling and decoupling
  • Timing

Film Properties

  • Dielectric constant at 1kHz and +23°C: 3.0 positive as temperature rise
  • Specific volume resistance in Ωcm at +23°C: 1018
  • Dielectric strength (DC voltage)in V/µm at +23°C: 580
  • Preferred temperature range in °C: -55 to +125
  • Dielectric absorption in % at +23°C: 1.0
