MKP385516160JYM5T0

Film capacitors are one of the most widely accepted and widespread types of capacitors used in electronics. And the MKP385516160JYM5T0 is a type of film capacitors. In this article, the application field and working principle of MKP385516160JYM5T0 will be explained in detail.

The MKP385516160JYM5T0 film capacitors have wide applications in different fields, It is usually used as a coupling capacitor for suppressing residual noise in automotive electronic ballast, such as residential, commercial and industrial lighting systems, as well as the capacitor for AC-DC and DC-DC converters. Besides, it also features extremely low dissipation factors and an excellent self-healing current capability. Thus, it can even be used in other high frequency switching power supplies.

The working principle of MKP385516160JYM5T0 is quite simple and straight-forward. The main components of this type of capacitor are two capacitor plates. The power supply provides electricity to the plate which then causes a voltage difference or potential difference to be created between them. This applied voltage to the plates causes an electrical charge to be stored in the capacitor. So with each application of voltage, the plate charges and when the voltage is removed, it acts as an electrical insulator again.

When the capacitor is used in high frequency switching power supplies, the dielectric is normally filled with polypropylene film with the internal electrolyte added to reduce the leakage of the charge. With the good insulation properties, the capacitor is able to sustain high frequency operations. This also improves the stability and accuracy of the circuits.

In conclusion, the MKP385516160JYM5T0 film capacitors are widely used in different applications such as automotive electronic ballast, high frequency switching power supplies and other circuits. Its working principle is that two capacitor plates are separated by dielectric material. Its internal electrolyte reduces the leakage of the charge and the good insulation properties enable the capacitor sustain high frequency operations. All these features make it a great choice for various applications.
