Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as plastic capacitors, plastic film capacitors, paper capacitors, paper film capacitors, are electrical capacitors with a dielectric composed of a thin plastic film. They can be used in a wide range of applications, from signal processing and filtering, to sample and hold circuits, to voltage-controlled oscillators. They often have very low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and low ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance) as well as very low temperature coefficients. Because they are made from thin plastic films, they are very light and easy to manufacture and assemble.

MKP1845410104 Application Field and Working Principle

The MKP1845410104 is a film capacitor designed for applications from ac motor drives to welding inverters. It is a two-phase ceramic-filled polypropylene dielectric and is manufactured using the latest in transistor-based internal technology. The capacitor is designed to deliver maximum stability and reliability in all applications. Its thin film dielectric ensures low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) and low ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance) and very low thermal coefficients.

The working principle of the MKP1845410104 is based on the capacitance of parallel plates. The two electrodes, or plates, are electrically charged, creating an electrostatic field. Between the two plates is a dielectric, in this case a thin film card which is composed of a number of thin dielectric layers. When a voltage is applied, the electrons on the plates will jump to the opposite sides of the layers, creating an electric field which stores the charge. When the voltage is removed, the electrons on the plates will return to their original positions, allowing the capacitor to discharge.

The MKP1845410104 is designed to handle up to several kilovolts, providing high energy density and improved safety. It is an ideal choice for ac motor drives, welding inverters and other high voltage applications.
