MKP385347085JIP2T0

Film capacitors, also known as “plastic dielectric capacitors,” are used in a variety of electronic applications due to their relatively small size, high voltage rating, and low cost compared to other capacitors. The MKP385347085JIP2T0 film capacitor is a 450Vdc, 2-terminal, 3.5uF AC motor run capacitor used in motorized applications, including central air conditioning, refrigerators, washing machines, and electric fan motors. This capacitor is typically rated at an operating temperature of -40°C to +70°C, but can also withstand up to 85°C in certain circumstances. It uses a polypropylene film dielectric material as its dielectric, and it employs an Encapsulated Coating System (ECS) of epoxy for its insulated casing.

The MKP385347085JIP2T0 is a polypropylene capacitor that uses the self-healing properties of the dielectric material to provide excellent over-voltage protection. It is a non-polarized capacitor, meaning it does not need to be oriented in a particular way for it to function correctly. This makes the device well-suited for AC applications where the polarity of the current is constantly changing. In addition, this capacitor has excellent noise immunity characteristics due to the low dissipation factor (DF) of the polypropylene film. This low DF permits high electrical insulation performance, further reducing the risk of electrical malfunction.

The MKP385347085JIP2T0 film capacitor features several characteristics that make it ideal for motor run applications. It has a maximum operating temperature range of up to 85°C and is constructed with a flame-retardant epoxy coating that offers good insulation properties. In addition, it is designed to withstand high levels of vibration and shock, which is important in motorized applications. The capacitor also has excellent safety characteristics, due to its UL 94V-1 flammability rating.

When connected in an AC motor circuit, the MKP385347085JIP2T0 film capacitor operates according to the laws of electricity and magnetism. Three main components are involved in the process: the capacitor itself, the electric field, and the magnetic field. The electric field is created by the alternating current (AC) flowing through the capacitor, while the magnetic field is created by the charged particles within the capacitor’s plates. When the capacitor is connected to an AC circuit, the changing electric field creates an alternating magnetic field that interacts with the motor’s winding, causing it to move. This mechanical energy is what powers the motor and causes it to rotate.

In summary, the MKP385347085JIP2T0 film capacitor is a 2-terminal, 3.5uF AC motor run capacitor rated for use in motorized applications from -40°C to +70°C, or up to 85°C in certain circumstances. Constructed with a polypropylene film dielectric material and encapsulated in an epoxy coating, it offers excellent durability, safety, and over-voltage protection. When connected to an AC circuit, it uses the alternating current and the resulting electric and magnetic fields to generate the mechanical energy needed to power the motor.
