MC12CF050C-F

Mica and PTFE capacitors play an important role in many industries and technical applications. The MC12CF050C-F is a particularly popular and quite versatile member of the family. This article will discuss the MC12CF050C-F’s application field and working principle.

Application Field

The MC12CF050C-F is designed for high-stability, low-loss, DC operation and is suitable for in-circuit operation. As well as having high-voltage characteristics, it offers excellent heat and overload protection. It is especially suitable for coupling networks, stabilizers, measuring instruments, amplifiers, oscillators, and other applications requiring high-frequency performance.

This capacitor is commonly used in applications such as television receivers, radios, speaker systems, and power supplies. It can also be used in computer circuit boards, A/C adapters, electrical motors, and high-voltage circuits. Its low proximity characteristic, low leakage current, and excellent frequency characteristics also make it ideal for use in applications that require highly stable output.

Working Principle

The MC12CF050C-F is a combination of mica and PTFE layers. Mica is a highly stable dielectric material, which has excellent insulation properties. PTFE, on the other hand, provides superior temperature and voltage resistance. The MC12CF050C-F\'s combination of mica and PTFE layers allow it to hold an electrical charge for a long period of time, providing reliable performance over time.

The capacitance of the MC12CF050C-F is composed of two internal electrodes. One electrode is a metal foil while the other is an insulated layer of PTFE and mica. The PTFE and mica layers are sandwiched between the dielectric and the metal probe, forming a pocket between them. This pocket holds the charge, which is then regulated by the metal foil, with the PTFE/mica layer preventing heat loss.

The MC12CF050C-F is a PAK-type capacitor, which offers a lower risk of electrical breakdown and greater stability for high-frequency operation. The PTFE/Mica sandwich structure also limits exposure to stray external fields, reducing the chance of noise interference.

Conclusion

The MC12CF050C-F is a versatile and reliable capacitor and is a popular choice for many industries. Thanks to its excellent heat and voltage resistance, high-frequency performance, and low leakage current, it is suitable for in-circuit operation and is especially popular in high-voltage circuits. Its combination of mica and PTFE layers allows it to maintain a stable charge for a long time, and its low risk of electrical breakdown makes it a reliable choice for high-frequency applications.
