Mica and PTFE Capacitors: MCN08EA150J application field and working principle

Mica and PTFE capacitors are widely used in various electronic products for their superior performance capabilities. Specifically, the MCN08EA150J use mica and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as the insulation materials combined with an external metallic cover. This special combination of materials gives the capacitors improved temperature stability, dielectric withstanding voltage, high capacitance stability and a long service life necessary for many applications.

The MCN08EA150J capacitors offer a capacitance of 0,080 microfarads and a temperature stability of ±0,15% per °C within a narrow temperature range. It is capable of withstanding a maximum operating voltage of 250V AC and is suitable for applications where space is at a premium due to its very small size. This capacitor is also designed to have excellent electrical stability and be resistant to Thermal Overload.

Working Principle

Mica and PTFE capacitors, such as the MCN08EA150J, consist of two metal plates separated by a thin layer of mica and PTFE. These materials are non-conductive and therefore prevent an electrical current from passing between the plates. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, an electric field is created between the plates which stores energy. The capacitance of the capacitor is determined by the size of the plates, the type of material used as the dielectric and the distance between them.

The MCN08EA150J capacitors have a capacitance of 0,080 microfarads. This is enough to store charge when a voltage is supplied and then releaes it as and when required. The dielectric used is mica and PTFE which, as mentioned before, provide superior temperature stability, dielectric withstanding voltage and capacitance stability.

The MCN08EA150J capacitors operate in the AC or DC range, allowing them to be used in most electronic applications. In addition to this, they are resistant to Thermal Overload and are designed to have excellent electrical stability.

Applications

MCN08EA150J capacitors have a wide range of applications, ranging from line-level audio applications, to consumer electronics, to power supplies. They are particularly well-suited for use in portable electronics due to their small size and high capacitance stability.

The MCN08EA150J capacitors are used to couple digital and analog signals, filter alternating current, smooth pulsations and to form networks for noise suppression. They are also used to control the voltage and frequency in power supplies, to store energy in energy storage devices and in lighting systems.

In consumer electronics such as televisions, computers, etc., the MCN08EA150J capacitors are used to couple the audio and video signals, to reduce the noise in power supply circuits, and for EMI/RFI filtering. In aviation, they are used in avionics systems, as well as in emergency power supplies.
