Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are an important class of capacitor component used for various electronic applications. They are made up of a thin plastic film that has been wound into a cylindrical shape. This capacitor is also referred to as a plastic film capacitor. The most common types are polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and polypropylene films. The main advantage of these capacitors is their high insulation resistance, high dielectric strength, and their ability to withstand high temperatures.

The MKP383413100JIP2T0 is a film capacitor that is suited for applications where size, temperature range, and insulation resistance are critical. It is designed for high level audio signal filtering, power supply smoothing, high frequency bypass, and blocking applications. This capacitor is a rectangular shaped capacitor with a tolerance of +/- 10%. It has a maximum temperature range of 175 C, with an insulation resistance greater than 4 Gigaohms and a Capacitance tolerance of +/- 10%.

Working Principle

The MKP383413100JIP2T0 film capacitor works on the principles of electrostatic charging and discharging. The dielectric layer of the capacitor creates an electric field that stores electrical energy. The principle states that the voltage that is applied to the terminals of the capacitor is equal to the negative of the potential difference across the capacitor.

The electric field that is developed by the capacitor creates an electric current that will flow through the load. The current will be in proportion to the applied voltage. The capacitor is also able to act as a low-pass filter, meaning that it will block frequencies above a certain frequency, while passing the lower frequencies. This is why the capacitor is ideal for applications such as audio filtering.
