Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as plastic film capacitors, are a type of capacitor that uses a plastic film as the dielectric. The film is often treated with a lacquer, metal or other coating to give it electrical and mechanical properties depending on the design. Film capacitors are used for a variety of electrical and electronic applications, such as radio frequencies, power supplies, audio and general electronic circuitry.

This capacitor has an even capacitance over an extended temperature range due to the PET film dielectric. It provides excellent capacitive reliability with excellent mechanical reliability.

The MKP383336160JII2B0 capacitor works by electrical charge storing on the two surfaces of the dielectric material. When an AC voltage is applied to the capacitor, a dielectric field is created that stores energy. A capacitor is an AC load, meaning that it only allows current to flow in one direction. The capacitor then releases the stored energy as the AC voltage increases or decreases in amplitude. The MKP383336160JII2B0 capacitor has a rated voltage of 250V AC, meaning that the level of voltage that it can withstand safely is 250V.

The MKP383336160JII2B0 capacitor is a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of applications. With its excellent capacitive and mechanical reliability, and a wide temperature range, it is suitable for high-voltage applications. The self-healing mechanism and even capacitance over an extended temperature range make it a reliable choice for power supply, AC filter circuits, and motor control circuits.
