MKP385222100JC02G0

Film capacitors, also known as plastic film capacitors, are one of the most popular type of capacitors and is used in a range of applications including audio electronics, parameter tuning in tuned circuits, suppression and filtering. The MKP385222100JC02G0 is a surface mount film capacitor most suitable for use in general-purpose AC applications. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the MKP385222100JC02G0 film capacitor.

Types of Film Capacitors

Commonly used types of film capacitors are metallized polypropylene dielectric capacitors, metallized film capacitors, and polyester film capacitors. In order to manufacture these types of capacitors, metalized polypropylene, polyester, or aluminum oxide is used as dielectric material, and is formed into a thin film. The type of dielectric material selected determines the capacitance and voltage tolerance, but regardless of the dielectric type, the structure of these types of capacitors is very similar.

Application Field of MKP385222100JC02G0
