MKP383368063JFM2B0

Film capacitors, sometimes known as plastic film capacitors, are an important components in a wide range of electronic devices and systems. As their name suggests, they are made out of thin layers of dielectric film between two conductive plates, typically metal or metalized plastic. The MKP383368063JFM2B0 is a type of film capacitor specifically designed for AC applications, such as pulsed power, AC coupling, and smoothing circuits.

The MKP383368063JFM2B0’s most important feature is its high capacitance and high current capability, which makes it well-suited for AC applications, as well as those requiring high surge current capacity. This capacitance-current characteristic allows the MKP383368063JFM2B0 to offer a high AC voltage ripple suppression ability, in addition to its high operating current and surge current resistance. The high capacitance and low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ratings of the MKP383368063JFM2B0 also assure a very low AC power loss, which can help save energy costs and reduce system downtime.

To keep the size and weight of the MKP383368063JFM2B0 to a minimum, its dielectric material is typically polypropylene. The thin-film layers of dielectric material are in turn coated in a metalized plastic foil, such as nickel-coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET), to prevent electrical and environmental effects from altering the capacitor’s performance. This foil also adds an extra layer of insulation between the opposite voltage poles of the capacitor. Each MKP383368063JFM2B0 capacitor is also built with multiple contact points for increased stability and reliability.

Because of its higher than normal capacitance, the MKP383368063JFM2B0 is often used in AC applications such as voltage stabilizers, LED lighting systems, energy storage applications, pulse width modulation (PWM) circuits, and inverter circuits. It is also well-suited for power systems, power converters, and pulse transformers. Additionally, this capacitor is used in surge suppressor circuits and is compliant with UL and IEC standards.

As with many film capacitors, the MKP383368063JFM2B0 uses an electrostatic field to store energy. When an AC current flows through its plate, an electric field is generated between them, creating a continuous, oscillating charge between the two conductive plates. As the intensity of the AC current varies, the amount of energy stored also varies, allowing the capacitor to produce a steady, AC voltage output.

The MKP383368063JFM2B0 film capacitor is an excellent choice for power applications, as it offers a high current carrying capacity, low equivalent series resistance, and a wide temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. It also has good surge current and energy storage performance, as well as good AC voltage ripple suppression. Therefore, this capacitor is often used to ensure reliable performance in a variety of power systems.
