Working principle of the MKP385551040JPM4T0

A film capacitor is able to store energy in a dielectric medium between two electrodes. When a voltage is applied to the two electrodes, an electric field is formed in the dielectric material, causing it to become polarized and allowing charge to accumulate on the electrodes. The amount of charge and the energy stored in the capacitor is determined by the capacitance, which is calculated by the size of the electrodes and the dielectric material between them.

The MKP385551040JPM4T0 capacitor uses a thin film of polypropylene as its dielectric medium. The high dielectric constant and low losses in this material make it an ideal choice for capacitors with high capacitance values. Additionally, polypropylene is very stable at high temperatures, making it suitable for use in applications where temperature extremes are present.

In addition, the MKP385551040JPM4T0 also uses electrodes made of highly conducting metallized polypropylene. This combination of materials gives the film capacitor a low self-inductance, which helps reduce the amount of noise present in the circuit. Furthermore, the electrodes are coated with a protective layer of epoxide resin, which helps protect the capacitor from damage caused by dust and other contaminants.
