Mica and PTFE Capacitors

Mica and PTFE Capacitors, represented by MCM01-016D050D-F, are widely used in various industries, such as power electronics, automotive, communications, RFID, and industrial automation. They are known for their outstanding characteristics including high power dissipation, stability, and low dielectric absorption.

Applications Fields

Mica and PTFE Capacitors are used in applications requiring high levels of reliability. The high stability and low dissipation characteristics of these capacitors make them ideal for applications including power conditioning, RF/microwave filter attenuators, smoothed dc voltage, voltage regulators, and antenna impedance matching.

Mica and PTFE Capacitors are used in high frequency applications as well. These capacitors have superior thermal conductivity and high Q-value. This makes them ideal for use in high frequency filters, dc-to-dc converters, and other high-frequency applications.

Mica and PTFE Capacitors are also used in medical equipment for various applications and have extremely low levels of electrical leakage. This makes them ideal for safety-critical applications in medical equipment.

Working Principle

Mica and PTFE Capacitors use two plates with opposite polarity in close proximity and an insulating material (mica or PTFE) between them. The polarity of the plates causes electrostatic attraction, which creates a dielectric field between them and stores electrical charge. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the dielectric field is strengthened and the stored energy increases. As a result, the capacitor acts as a converter of energy, which is stored in electrical form and released as a current.

Mica and PTFE Capacitors have a very low level of internal resistance, which allows for high current flow and high power dissipation. They also have excellent thermal conductivity, which makes them suitable for applications requiring high current flow. Furthermore, they have low dielectric absorption which helps prevent energy loss due to leakage.

Mica and PTFE Capacitors are ideal for applications requiring high reliability and stability, as they are able to withstand extreme temperatures and vibration. Furthermore, they are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, making them suitable for different applications.
