MKP385382100JFP2B0

Film capacitors, also known as film dielectric capacitors, are electronic elements used to store electric charges, balance AC and DC signals, and filter frequencies. They are used in virtually all electronic equipment such as radios, computers, televisions, and medical equipment. Film capacitors, when compared to other types of capacitors, such as electrolytic capacitors, present many advantages, including lower losses, greater stability, higher reliability, no leakage, greater electrical strength, and excellent temperature stability.

The MKP385382100JFP2B0 film capacitor is a product from the MKP family of metallized polyester capacitors manufactured by Murata. The device features a non-polarized design, a maximum operating temperature of 105 °C, and a maximum voltage rating of 400 VDC. It has a total capactiance of 38.5 uF, and it is designed to be used in a variety of fields that include motor control, power inverters, switched mode power supply (SMPS) applications, lighting ballasts, and high-definition television displays.

The working principle behind a film capacitor involves two electrically conductive plates which are separated by a thin dielectric material (such as polyimide, polyester, or polypropylene). When power is applied to the device, an electric field is created which attracts charges of opposite polarity to the plate surfaces. The charges accumulate until the device reaches a maximum capacitance value. The capacitance value then remains unchanged, and the capacitor behaves as an open circuit, allowing no further charge to accumulate.

The MKP385382100JFP2B0 is a high-performing capacitor, and it is an ideal device for many applications due to its advanced technical characteristics. It is rated for a maximum voltage of 400 VDC, making it well-suited for use in high-voltage applications, and it has a capacitance of 38.5 uF, making it ideal for use in high frequency circuits. Additionally, the device has a wide temperature range of -55 to +105 °C, meaning it can be used in extreme environmental conditions. The MKP385382100JFP2B0 is also highly resistant to moisture and vibration, making it a reliable solution for a wide range of applications.

Overall, the MKP385382100JFP2B0 film capacitor is a reliable, high-performance device ideal for use in a range of applications, including motor control, power inverters, switched mode power supply (SMPS) applications, lighting ballasts, and high-definition television displays.
