Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are a type of capacitor with the most increased use in modern electric technology. Film capacitors are affordable, operate silently, and tend to work better than other types of capacitors in high-frequency applications. They are also much smaller than electrolytic capacitors making them the preferred board mount capacitor. It is this combination of affordability, silence, efficiency, and size that make film capacitors the components of choice in many applications.

MKP385420125JKI2B0 Application Field and Working Principle

The MKP385420125JKI2B0 is a film capacitor designed for use in automotive, avionics, and home applications. This capacitor is made from Polypropylene dielectric material which improves performance by reducing losses due to temperature and impedance variation. The capacitor offers a low dissipation factor, high frequency stability, and a stable capacitance. These features allow it to be used as a crossover device in frequency filters and signal processing circuits. The capacitor also offers an Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

The capacitor works by storing an electric charge. This electric charge is stored in a dielectric material, and this dielectric material is sandwiched between two metal plates. This sandwich is then connected to two electrical terminals. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the electric field created by the voltage causes the dielectric to behave as a semi-conductor, allowing electrons to move between the two plates. The rate at which the electrons move is determined by the capacitance. The higher the capacitance, the greater the electron flow and the higher the voltage, this process allows for energy to be stored and released.

As a frequency based capacitor, the MKP385420125JKI2B0 is capable of high frequency response with minimal distortion and low dissipation factor. This makes it an ideal choice for applications such as signal processing or frequency filters where it is necessary to accurately filter out noise in order to achieve pure signal. The low temperature and impedance variation characteristics of the capacitor also help to provide high-quality performance.

In conclusion the MKP385420125JKI2B0 film capacitor is an ideal option for automotive, avionic, and home applications that demand accuracy and reliability. Its low dissipation factor, high frequency stability, and temperature tolerance make it the perfect fit for many applications that use frequency filters or require accurate signal processing.
