Film capacitors, also known as plastic film capacitors, are a type of capacitor with very stable electrical characteristics. They are used in a wide range of applications, such as power supply filtering, signal coupling, DC-DC conversion, signal processing, and discharge protection.

The MKP385475016JC02Z0 is a high-Q film capacitor produced by the world-renowned capacitor manufacturer KEMET. It offers an impressive performance, with a capacitance value of 3.9nF and a rated voltage of 600V. The maximum working temperature is 125°C.

Application Field

The MKP385475016JC02Z0 is often used in power supply lines or high-load circuits. Because of its high-Q value, it can reduce the conductive loss and improve the efficiency of the power supply, making it especially useful in power circuitry. It can also be used in high-frequency DC displacing circuits, such as voltage- and temperature-sensitive applications, as its low ESR (equivalent series resistance) makes it highly resistant to changes. Moreover, its low inductance makes it suitable for use in high-frequency applications.

The MKP385475016JC02Z0 is also an excellent choice for electronic circuits that require greater tolerance. Its high insulation resistance improves signal transmission and also offers protection against surge currents. Its large capacitance allows it to store more energy and makes it suitable for use in energy recycling circuits.

Working Principle

The MKP385475016JC02Z0 works on the principle of dielectric absorption. When a voltage is applied, the thin film composed of polypropylene is able to store electrical charge. Due to the high dielectric constant of the polypropylene, the capacitor can store more charge than other types of capacitors. The charge is stored in the electric field between the electrodes. As the voltage is increased, the film expands, which causes the electrodes to move further apart and increases the capacitance.

Film capacitors are also known for their low leakage current. This is because when the voltage is applied, the electrons are tightly held inside the dielectric material, blocking out any other electrical fields. This results in extremely low power dissipation, making the MKP385475016JC02Z0 an ideal choice for use in power circuits.

The MKP385475016JC02Z0 is a reliable and versatile film capacitor that can be used in a wide range of applications. Its high-Q value, low ESR, low inductance, high insulation resistance, and large capacitance make it an excellent choice for power supply filtering, signal processing, voltage regulation, and surge protection.
