MKP385618016JPM2T0 Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, sometimes referred to as film dielectric capacitors or polyester capacitors, are components made of a thin plastic film as their dielectric. MKP385618016JPM2T0 is one such film capacitor used in a variety of applications.

Application field

The MKP385618016JPM2T0 is a non-polarized, metallized polyester film capacitor which has multiple uses in the power electronics space. It is often used in audio equipment and power supplies, as a bypass capacitor in SMPS, and for sensor interfacing applications. It can also be used as an energy and power storage device, coupling and decoupling capacitor, and a snubber capacitor in high voltage switches and converters.

Features

The MKP385618016JPM2T0 has a voltage rating of 250V AC (160V DC). It has a capacitance of 18uF and a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C. It is equipped with a self-healing characteristic which ensures the capacitor returns to its normal capacitance after an overvoltage superimposition. Additionally, its four-layer metallization technology helps to reduce high-frequency noise and ripple.

Working Principle

The MKP385618016JPM2T0 utilizes a film as its dielectric which is usually made of either polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). This layer acts as the medium or insulating layer between the two electrodes. When an electric field is applied, an electrostatic field is formed between the electrodes. This electric field causes the positive ions from one side to be attracted to the negative ions on the other side, thus creating an offsetting charge. This offsetting charge is what allows the capacitor to function. The MKP385618016JPM2T0 is a non-polarized film capacitor, meaning that it does not have a designated positive or negative polarity. This allows it to function in either polarity, as both electrodes act as electrons and accept charge equally. The non-polarized design eliminates the risk of damage to the device due to incorrect installation.

Conclusion

The MKP385618016JPM2T0 is a versatile film capacitor which can be used in audio equipment, power supplies, SMPS, sensor interfacing, and other capacitive applications. Its features allow it to be used in a variety of applications and its non-polarized design ensures that it will not be damaged by incorrect installation. Its operating principle is based on the principle of electrostatics, in which two electrodes are separated by a dielectric medium in order to create an offsetting charge.
