The application field of MKP385220063JB02W0 film capacitors is vast, ranging from telecommunication devices to high voltage electrical networks. This capacitor type can be used in any circuit that requires a capacitor with a wide capacitance range - it can handle values from 0.001 uF up to 1mF. MKP385220063JB02W0 is additively used with motors and other electrical devices, as well as for DC to DC converters and power line conditioning. In addition to this, the MKP385220063JB02W0 film capacitor can be used in audio circuits, low cost manufacturing, automotive electronics, electromagnetic interference (EMI) filtering, and D/A converters. As the MKP385220063JB02W0 is a NTC capacitor, it is also used for inrush current protection, meaning the capacitor can dissipate a sudden surge of current when an electrical device is powered on.

Working Principle of MKP385220063JB02W0 Film Capacitors

The working principle of an MKP385220063JB02W0 film capacitor is based on the electrical charge that occurs when two conductive plates are separated by a dielectric material. The two conductive plates, referred to as the capacitor’s plates, are a metallic foil and a semiconductor film, which are then separated by a conductive plastic dielectric material. When a voltage is applied between the two plates, an electric field is generated which causes electrons to flow between the two plates. This will cause an electric charge to build up between the plates and create a capacitor. This charge is then stored in the capacitor and is released when there is a current demand between the two plates.

The MKP385220063JB02W0 film capacitor is a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) capacitor. This means that the capacitance of the capacitor decreases as the temperature increases. This type of capacitor is known to be more stable and reliable compared to monolithic or ceramic capacitors as it has better temperature and voltage characteristics. It also exhibits a higher capacitance stability in comparison to other capacitors.

Conclusion

The MKP385220063JB02W0 film capacitor is a highly versatile capacitor which can be used in a multitude of applications, ranging from high voltage networks to consumer electronic devices. It offers a wide capacitance range of 0.001uF up to 1mF, making it a very useful component to have in various types of circuits. Furthermore, its NTC characteristic makes it suitable for inrush current protection, giving it even more advantages compared to other types of capacitors.
