Working Principle

The working principle of the MKP385310100JC02R0 is based on the charging and discharging of electric charge on two electrodes. The capacitance of the capacitor is determined by the size and composition of the electrodes, with the larger the surface area of the electrodes resulting in a larger capacitance. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, current flows into the capacitor and is stored as electric charge. This charge is stored until the voltage is removed, at which point the charge is slowly discharged.

The MKP385310100JC02R0 is especially suited for applications where high capacitance stability is required. The capacitor features a “C” type (silvered polyester) insulation which has an upper temperature coefficient of 0.33% per °C. This film capacitor also features a low dissipation factor and a low effective series resistance (ESR).
