Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as film dielectrics, are capacitors that use a thin plastic film as the dielectric material. Unlike porous ceramics, film capacitors do not rely on particles of an inert material, but on an even, continuous layer of a "dielectric" material that is energized to create the capacitor’s charge.

MKP385156160JD02G0 are polypropylene film capacitors. They are general purpose capacitors which features a capacitance range from 47 to 8200µF, with operating temperature range from -55 to +125°C. Lightweight and compact, they are highly reliable and has a long service life due to excellent heat resistance as well as stable high-temperature electrical characteristics.

Applications

MKP385156160JD02G0 film capacitors offer a wide range of applications. It can be employed in a variety of fields, such as consumer electronics, lighting, industrial automation, automotive, power supplies, renewable energy, avionics and more.

In consumer electronics, these capacitors are ideal for use in fire alarms, smoke detectors, charging circuits and various electronic devices. In lighting, its application can be found in LED lighting, high wattage lighting solutions and outdoor lighting.

Working Principle

The working principle of MKP385156160JD02G0 is based on the electron tunneling effect. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, electrons flow from one plate to the other, introducing a net charge on each plate. This charge is stored in the thin dielectric layers between the plates. When the electric field is removed, the same electrons will remain in the capacitor, thus charge remains stored in the device.
