Film Capacitors

A film capacitor, also known as a film dielectric capacitor, is a type of capacitor commonly used in relatively high-frequency circuits. It is formed by stacking up layers of insulation film together and then immersing them between two conductive metallic plates.

The MKP385162125JC02G0 is a type of film capacitor that offers high performance characteristics, such as low dielectric losses at high frequencies and high reliability, along with low price.

Application Field

Film capacitors, including the MKP385162125JC02G0, are used for general-purpose decoupling applications. You can find them in high-frequency power supplies, industrial power supplies, multichannel amplifiers, as well as other electronic circuits.

The MKP385162125JC02G0 is also used in professional audio and signal filtering applications, thanks to its excellent noise prevention characteristics.

Working Principle

The basic working principle of a film capacitor stays unchanged regardless of type. It consists of two metallic plates separated by insulating film.

When a voltage is applied to the terminals, a certain amount of electrical energy is stored in the dielectric material. This stored energy maintains electrostatic forces while the voltage is applied to the capacitor, thus creating a charge and an electric field.

Depending on the type of dielectric and the capacitor\'s design, the total capacity of the capacitor determines how much capacitance it can store. The MKP385162125JC02G0 capacitor comes in two different capacitance values of 0.39µF and 0.95µF.

The capacitor\'s dielectric also determines its ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). This is one of the most important parameters for assessing the capacitor\'s performance since it affects the voltage ripple, heat generation and overall reliability.

Conclusion

The MKP385162125JC02G0 film capacitor is an excellent choice for general purpose decoupling, noise reduction and high-frequency applications. Its low equivalent series resistance, low voltage ripple and high reliability make it ideal for both consumer and industrial applications.
