Application Field

The MKP383512100JPI2T0 film capacitor has applications in a variety of industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. It is often used in high-voltage circuits for power supplies, motor control, and motor protection purposes. It is also widely used in motors and pancake-style heavy inductive loads that use film capacitors with the main purpose of providing voltage spike protection. These capacitors are also suitable for AC-rectified power supplies where they can provide a delayed start by delaying the time for voltage to drop. When used for power supply filtering, the MKP383512100JPI2T0 is able to provide a very high level of ripple suppression due to its very low self-resonant frequency.

The MKP383512100JPI2T0 is also suitable for use in power transmission and distribution networks where it can provide very low losses due to its very low dielectric losses and is used to reduce the harmonics associated with inductive loads as well as to reduce the surge voltage from gradients.

Working Principle

Film capacitors are polarized capacitors that work on the principle of principles of dielectric polarization. This means that a positive and negative charge build up in the two electrodes creating an electric field between them which is called a dielectric. A film capacitor is essentially a dielectric-filled capacitor whose dielectric is composed of the thin layers of plastic film. When the voltage across the plates of the capacitor changes, the charge density in the dielectric changes creating a surface charge and producing an electric field across it. This stored energy is released when the capacitor is used or connected to a circuit.

The MKP383512100JPI2T0 is a typical non-polarized film capacitor and is mainly used for filtering and bypass applications. This is due to its wide variety of construction options ranging from surface-mount options to radial-lead configurations. This capacitor is used for its low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and its ability to generate very low temperature coefficients. The dielectric materials used in this capacitor have a very low dielectric constant thus reducing the power consumption. Since the dielectric materials also have low dissipation values, the MKP383512100JPI2T0 is suitable for use in high frequency circuits.

The MKP383512100JPI2T0 film capacitor offers excellent temperature stability as well as excellent dielectric properties when compared to other film capacitors. It offers low inductance values and is ideal for high frequency applications. The metalized polypropylene dielectric offers tremendous film stability and reliable long-term operation.
