MKP383291063JDI2B0

Film capacitors, sometimes referred to as polyethylene-naphthalate (PEN) capacitors, are a common type of capacitor used in many electrical and electronic circuits. They are typically constructed from multiple layers of dielectric material bound together by a metal or plasticized encasing. The MKP383291063JDI2B0 is a film capacitor designed to provide long-term performance and reliability in electrical and electronic applications.

Applications

Film capacitors such as the MKP383291063JDI2B0 are used in a wide variety of electrical and electronic devices, including:

• Automotive Electronics: Engine sensors, ECUs, solenoids, switches and relays.
• Audio/Video: Amplifiers, mixers, receivers, and speakers.
• Consumer Electronics: Laptops, tablets, personal audio and video players.
• Industrial Electronics: Industrial control systems, motor drive systems, and pumps.

The MKP383291063JDI2B0 is ideal for applications that require high-frequency stability, low ESR values (equivalent series resistance), and long-term reliability.

Working Principle

Film capacitors, including the MKP383291063JDI2B0, use a dielectric material (such as polyester, polypropylene or Kapton) between two metalized layers as the medium for electrical storage. When a DC voltage is applied across the capacitor, an electrical field is created across the dielectric material, resulting in electrical charges being stored. When the applied voltage is removed, the stored charges are released, and the capacitor discharges.

As the applied voltage increases, the electrical field across the dielectric of the capacitor increases, resulting in higher charge storage capacity. This process is known as capacitance and is measured in farads. MKP383291063JDI2B0 capacitors have a rated capacitance of 10 microfarads.
