The MKP385413040JFP2B0 capacitor is constructed in a radial lead design. The insulating layer of this device is made from polypropylene film enveloped by two layers of aluminum foil. During the manufacturing process, the windings of the device are precisely wound together in order to form a close and efficient electrical circuit. The hight of the capacitor measures approximately 6mm, with a 5mm lead length.

A film capacitor will generally offer higher working voltages and better performance than ceramic capacitors of the same size. This is due to the higher dielectric constant found in a film capacitor. The MKP385413040JFP2B0 capacitance provides a capacitance value of 0.047 µF, a rated voltage of 250V AC, with a tolerance level of ±3%.

The MKP385413040JFP2B0 is especially suitable for use in a wide variety of applications, ranging from high-frequency switching power supplies, DC/AC inverters, motor control units to suppress Voltage Spikes and Transient High Voltages.

The working principle of a film capacitor is based on the use of a dielectric material that stores the electric charge. This is done by creating an electric field between the two conductors of the device. When this electric field is disrupted, electric charges can flow from one conductor to the other, thus providing an electrical current. The electric field will then be reduced and re-stored, allowing the capacitor to store and release the charge in a constant steady manner, thus providing the electrical output required.

The MKP385413040JFP2B0 film capacitor is an essential component in many electrical systems for its ability to store and release energy quickly and consistently. It is used acros different applications and offers a great amount of utility in the consumer electronics and electric vehicle motor control markets. By storing energy and releasing reliably, the MKP385413040JFP2B0 allows for a better performance over time, and is one of the most widely used film capacitors today.
