Mica and PTFE Capacitors

Mica and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) capacitors are composite capacitors that are typically made up of two or more capacitors with distinct features. They are designed to work in a variety of applications due to their wide choice of values, frequencies and temperature ranges. The MCM01-001DD330K-F capacitor offers a number of advantages in applications due to its low dissipation factor, high temperature stability and high energy density. The capacitor is ideal for applications that require higher values and require less physical space.

Application Field of MCM01-001DD330K-F

MCM01-001DD330K-F capacitors are largely used in DC and AC applications. These include high voltage coupling applications, such as in ignition systems and high frequency applications such as in driving DC motors. The capacitors are also used in filtering circuits as they can be overcharged when used in such applications. The capacitors are also used in applications requiring stringent temperature specifications, such as in defense and aerospace related applications.

Working Principle of MCM01-001DD330K-F

The MCM01-001DD330K-F capacitor is a combination of two distinct atomized elements; a low dissipation factor mica dielectric material embedded between two thin sliced PTFE plates. The two plates are then wound together in a very small area. The PTFE imparts a reasonably high dielectric constant and dielectric strength. The mica offers stability for temperature, minimizes leakage currents, and provides excellent stability characteristics. The combination of the mica and PTFE plates produces a higher capacitance value in proportion to its physical size.

The MCM01-001DD330K-F capacitor utilizes the effects of the electric field around it, to store a static charge. When a voltage is applied to the electrode of the capacitor, an electric field builds up between the two conductive plates which causes the plates to behave like a battery and store electric energy. The capacitance of capacitor is a function of the surface area of the plate, distance between the plate and the type of material used as the dielectric.

These capacitors are widely used because of their low noise generation, low leakage currents, good linearity, and excellent temperature characteristics. They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and dielectric materials to suit a range of applications. Due to their small size, these capacitors can be used in very compact circuits and are ideal for applications with space and cost restraints. Additionally, they can endure a range of temperatures.
