Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are a type of fixed capacitor in which the electrode terminal is a metal film. Generally, a foil is used as the electrode material, and the non-metallic materials used in the dielectric layer include polypropylene (PP), polyester, polystyrene (PS), etc. Many parameters can be adjusted in the manufacture of film capacitors, such as: capacity, resistance, inductance, voltage (including the highest voltage used), temperature characteristic, size, stability and cost. Overall, film capacitors economically provide excellent electrical performance.

MKP385362016JCA2B0 application field and working principle

Application field

MKP385362016JCA2B0 is mainly used in EMI/RFI interference filtering, power supply noise suppression, and power factor correction applications. It is also suitable for filtering capacitors, snubber capacitors, resonance capacitors, and low-frequency bias capacitors. Besides these, MKP385362016JCA2B0 can also be used in heating systems, agricultural machinery, office machines, telecommunication systems, LED lamps, and solar photovoltaic systems.

Working principle

The main principle in motion is that, when the electronic elements of the circuit generate voltage signals, these signals will induce electromagnetic waves. The MKP385362016JCA2B0 film capacitor helps to reduce the noise generated by these waves and transfer the pure voltage signals to the next stage.

The MKP385362016JCA2B0 film capacitor consists of two metal contact points separated by a dielectric material. The voltage signal is transferred from one contact point to the other through the dielectric material. As a result, the changing voltage causes the metal dielectric to become charged and increase its insulation. This in turn reduces the interference from other signals and maintains the purity of the signal.

MKP385362016JCA2B0 capacitors also feature a shielding layer around the electrodes. This layer acts as an extra shield to further reduce noise and improves the efficiency of the capacitor.
