MKP383175063JCA2B0

Film capacitors, also known as plastic film capacitors, are electrical capacitors with a dielectric composed of a thin plastic film. Their structure often includes metalized electrodes and a semi-rigid plastic film. Film capacitors offer many advantages over other common types, such as electrolytic and ceramic varieties. They often have a low ESR (equivalent series resistance), high accuracy and temperature stability, and are capable of suppressing RFI (radio frequency interference) very effectively.

The MKP383175063JCA2B0 is a polypropylene film capacitor with an axial leaded radial wrapper and polyester dielectric. It has a maximum working voltage of 630 VAC, a capacitanceΕr of 55, and a capacitance range of 500 pF to 5 mF. It is suitable for general purpose applications between 50 Hz and 150 kHz. The capacitor features a high maximum working voltage, low losses, and high stability against changes in temperature and voltage, making it suitable for industrial, medical, and military applications.

The basic working principle of a film capacitor is the same as any other type of capacitor. It stores electrical charge in an electric field created between two conductors separated by a dielectric. In this case, the conductors are two metalized strips, usually aluminum, and the dielectric is the polyester plastic film, which is usually about 1.5 to 2.5 microns thick. As with any other type of capacitor, the capacitance of the MKP383175063JCA2B0 is determined by the size of the conductors and the thickness of the dielectric.

Due to the many advantages offered by film capacitors, their application fields are wide and varied. Common applications include industrial motors, generators and drives, medical equipment, power conditioning, military and aerospace systems, automotive electronics, and consumer appliances. The MKP383175063JCA2B0 is also commonly used in DC power supplies, snubber circuits, output filters, surge suppression circuits, and noise filtering. It can also be used as a bypass capacitor to reduce noise levels in power supplies, amplifiers, and other sensitive electronic circuits.

Film capacitors are typically more expensive than electrolytic and ceramic capacitors due to their higher performances and quality. However, they offer greater reliability, better stability over temperature, and improved accuracy in comparison to other types of capacitors, making them a good choice for many critical applications. The MKP383175063JCA2B0 is a reliable and cost-efficient alternative for a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial, military and aerospace applications.
