MKP1848C65550JP5

Film capacitors are a type of capacitor which has layers of plastic film and metal foil as components. The MKP1848C65550JP5 is a specific type of film capacitor. It is a 1800VDC capacitor, with 4.8uF capacitance and low temperature coefficient. The main structure of the capacitor consists of two electrodes, a series of metal strips, and an insulation film. It has low ESR, high ripple current, space savings, long life, and is self-healing.

Application Field of the MKP1848C65550JP5 Capacitor

The MKP1848C65550JP5 is mainly used for high-frequency filters, high-voltage switch power supply, welding machines, automotive inverters, and other electronic appliances. Due to its high-performance and long-life, it is suitable for use in rectifier circuits and DC-DC power converters.

Working Principle of MKP1848C65550JP5

Like all other capacitors, the MKP1848C65550JP5 also works to offer a “temporary storage” for electrical energy. When electric charge flows in an electronic appliance, the charge is stored in the capacitor, instead of passing straight through the appliance. The process is known as charging. When the charge is no longer needed, it is released from the capacitor – a process known as discharging.

The MKP1848C65550JP5 has 2 main components - a layer of plastic foil and several metal strips. The plastic foil acts as the dielectric and the metal strips as the electrodes. When electric charge passes through the capacitor, electrons are stored in the plastic foil with the help of metal strips. This causes an electrical field on both sides of the layers, attracting and repelling one another, creating a stored charge. When the force on the capacitor is greater than the stored charge then it is released. The series of metal strips in the capacitor ensures that the charge is evenly distributed between both sides.

Conclusion

The MKP1848C65550JP5 capacitor is a high-performance and long-life capacitor. It is mainly used for high-frequency filters, high-voltage switch power supply, welding machines, automotive inverters, and other electronic appliances. Its unique structure of plastic film and metal strips enables it to store and release electric charge.
