Working Principle ofMKP385147100JCA2B0

The MKP385147100JCA2B0 consists of two metalized electrodes that are wrapped in a plastic film. The plastic film acts as a dielectric material between the two electrodes. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, an electric charge is stored in the space between the electrodes. The stored charge acts like a buffer, and when a change of voltage or current is sensed, the capacitor will allow a shift in the energy, equalizing the circuit. This effect is also known as capacitive reactance.

Depending on the type of plastic film inside the capacitor, the capacitance and the maximum permissible voltage range can be adjusted for each application. The most common plastic films for film capacitors are polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyester, polystyrene, polycarbonate, and polyphenylene sulfide. Each of these plastic films have different properties, allowing the capacitor to adapt to different conditions or parameters.
