MKP1837322164W

Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are widely used electronic components. They are distinguished by their thin dielectric film and are commonly used for high frequency and high voltage applications. One type of film capacitor is the MKP1837322164W, a small, disc-shaped capacitor made of polypropylene film and aluminum foil.

Application Field

The MKP1837322164W is designed for general-purpose use in power electronics and renewable energy applications. It is rated for DC working voltage of 275 volts and can reach DC blocking voltage of 400 volts. With its low ESR and low Self-Inductance, it is an excellent choice for power factor correction, energy-efficient motors and other applications which require a stable, accurate power source.

Working Principle

Film capacitors use a thin dielectric film as their main component. The dielectric film is the material that serves as the capacitor\'s insulating layer between the two conductors. It can be made from polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, or other materials. This is why film capacitors are also sometimes known as \'dielectric capacitors\'.

The dielectric film is coated with a metalized layer on both sides so that it can conduct current. The thickness of the dielectric film determines the capacitance of the component. When power is applied, the voltage across the MKP1837322164W causes a dielectric polarization of the film. This results in a specific capacitance as well as a higher stability and higher volumetric efficiency.

The MKP1837322164W has a radial, sealed construction which makes it resistant to moisture, dust and other environmental factors. Furthermore, it is relatively compact and lightweight, making it suitable for a broad range of applications.

The MKP1837322164W is an ideal choice for power electronic and renewable energy applications requiring a high precision and stable power source. Its thin dielectric film, high volumetric efficiency, and high voltage capabilities make it a reliable and effective choice for many types of applications.
