Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as plastic film capacitors, are popular components in many electrical and electronic equipment. They are the most widely used type of capacitor because of their stability and reliability. The MKP1837315163 is a type of film capacitor that is typically used in applications that require a higher voltage rating and higher ripple current compared to other types of capacitors.

Application Field

The MKP1837315163 film capacitor is ideal for high frequency switching applications and high surge applications. It has a very short response time and can cope with high frequency voltage variations. It is also suitable for AC and DC circuits. Typical applications include switch mode power supply, lighting, industrial, audio, UPS and inverter applications. It’s also used in automotive, railway, medical, and telecom applications.

Working Principle

Film capacitors are composed of two conductors that are separated by a dielectric which is usually a thin film, hence the name film capacitor. The two conductors of the MKP1837315163 film capacitor are usually aluminum or tin-plated copper foil, and the dielectric is made of polypropylene, making it a polypropylene film capacitor. When a voltage is applied across the two conductors of the capacitor, an electric field is created which causes the dielectric material to become polarized. This polarization creates a capacitance between the two conductors. Due to the construction of the capacitor, the capacitance of a film capacitor is stable over a wide temperature range.

Advantages of Film Capacitors

Film capacitors have many advantages over other types of capacitors. They have high insulation resistance and excellent dielectric strength, making them suitable for high surge applications. They are also very stable under high temperatures, have low losses, and have a much longer life cycle. The MKP1837315163 film capacitor also has low self-inductance, which means it can be used for high frequency applications. Additionally, they are lightweight and have a much smaller footprint compared to other types of capacitors.
