Film Capacitors

A film capacitor, also known as pet film capacitor, is a polyester (Mylar) or polypropylene (PP) film capacitor. The film capacitor is one of the most common capacitor type used. The name is derived from the use of dielectric film of a total of three layers. The two outer layers are made up of a metal foil and a film, which act as the two capacitor electrodes, and the dielectric material is placed between them. The construction is rolled and enclosed by a metallic or non-metallic casing. The MKP385310100JC02H0 film capacitor is designed for use in a variety of different applications due to its high tolerance to temperatures and its long-term stability.

The MKP385310100JC02H0 film capacitor is mainly used in AC motors, air conditioning systems, and in various power applications in the automotive and industrial fields. It is also used for applications as part of an energy-efficient home, such as in LED lights, fans, and air-conditioners. In hybrid or electric vehicles, the MKP385310100JC02H0 film capacitor plays a major role in ensuring high performance and efficient charging and discharging processes. Moreover, it is particularly suitable for battery charge-discharge controllers, solar energy systems, HID ballasts, etc. In the industrial field, these film capacitors are used for filtering, decoupling, clipping, and coupling applications.

Working Principle

In order to explain the working principle of the MKP385310100JC02H0 film capacitor, a basic explanation of how capacitors work must be outlined. The capacitance of a capacitor is essentially the ability to hold an electrical charge with respect to the voltage applied to it. This means that a capacitor can be used to store an electrical charge, and to then use this stored charge to release electrical energy at a later time. At a very basic level, film capacitors work in much the same way as any other type of capacitor. There is a dielectric material between two metal plates, and when a voltage is applied to the capacitor, it creates an electric field between the plates, which in turn stores the charge. The capacitance of the MKP385310100JC02H0 film capacitor is relatively low compared to other types of capacitors, but it still provides a reliable storage of charge. In addition, the film capacitor is able to withstand high voltages and temperatures, making it suitable for various applications.
