Working Principle

Film capacitors are composed of an insulating dielectric layer between two metal layers. This creates a barrier to the electric current, which in turn creates an electric field between the two plates. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, a charge is stored in the electric field. The amount of charge stored in the electric field is proportional to the voltage applied and the capacitance of the device.

The MKP1847630314Y5 is able to have such a high capacitance rating due to its thin film construction, which is composed of an insulating dielectric layer between two metal layers that are very thin. This allows for a large capacitance rating to be achieved in a small package.
