Introduction to Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as polypropylene (PP) film capacitors, plastic film capacitors, or dielectric film capacitors, are a type of capacitor that uses a plastic dielectric film. They provide very high stability, very low loss, improved dielectric absorption, low distortion, and low voltage coefficient.

The MKP385336160JF02W0 film capacitor is designed for both DC and AC applications. Common applications include power factor correction, motor start-up circuits, boost/fly-back power supply circuits, voltage stabilization circuits, filters, EMI/RFI noise reduction circuits, and matching of any AC discharge load.

Working Principle

Film capacitors use a polymer dielectric material to construct the capacitor dielectric layer. This dielectric layer is then formed into metallized layers by rolling and pressing processes. The dielectric layers are then connected in series or parallel configurations to the positive and negative terminals of the capacitor to produce a desired capacitance and current rating. When a voltage is applied, an electrical field is created across the dielectric layers, resulting in the storage of an electrical charge. This stored charge creates an electromagnetic field that enables the capacitor to store and release energy between its terminals, thus acting as an electrical energy storage device.
