Working Principle:

The MKP386M418250JT4 capacitor works using a dielectric material (the film in this case), between two metal plates, typically aluminium. When voltage is applied to the metal plates, it creates an electric field within the dielectric, thus storing energy in the form of an electric field. The electric field is proportional to the voltage applied. This type of capacitor is also known as an AC capacitor, as it can be used both in high and low frequency AC applications.

When the voltage is applied to the capacitor, a current is generated, and the current is proportional to the rate of change of the voltage across the capacitor. This current allows the capacitor to act as an energy storage device, enabling it to store energy from the applied voltage and then release it when the voltage changes. In this way, the capacitor is able to absorb and dissipate energy, which is useful in various applications, from power factor correction to reducing electrical interference.
