Film Capacitors

A film capacitor belongs to a family of capacitors that is similar to electrolytic capacitors, utilizing a dielectric material placed between two conductive plates, but uses materials other than electrolyte to separate the plates. The capacitor with identifier MKP385618016JPM4T0 is one such example, and it has interesting applications and a technical design that is worth considering.

Capacitor Markings

Capacitors are signified by a series of markings, and this particular part has the marking ‘MKP385618016JPM4T0’. The meaning of these markings can be broken down using the table below.

• MKP – This indicates that the capacitor is a metallized film capacitor, as opposed to single-plated or other materials.
• 38 – The second two digits indicate the voltage rating of the capacitor.
• 56 – The third two digits indicate the tolerance of the component, as +/- 5%.
• 18 – The fourth two digits indicate the temperature coefficient, which is 18 parts per million (ppm), as per EIA standard 232.
• 016 – The fifth two digits refer to the lead spacing.
• JPM4 – The remaining letters indicate the capacitance, which in this case is 0.16microFarad.
• T0 – The last letter and number are designators of size, which in this part is 3.2mm x 6mm.

Applications of the MKP385618016JPM4T0 Film Capacitor

Film capacitors have several advantages to electrolytic capacitors, such as a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and low inductance. This makes this type of capacitor ideal for use in high frequency applications. The MKP385618016JPM4T0 is most suitable for use in bypass or decoupling applications, pulse charging or discharging, as well as for DC-blocking or filtering interference in audio circuits.

Working Principle of the MKP385618016JPM4T0 Film Capacitor

A film capacitor works by taking two conductors and separating them with a dielectric material. This material acts as an insulator, allowing only a certain amount of current to pass through. As the amount of electricity passing through the dielectric gets larger, so does the capacitance of the device, until it reaches its maximum limit. When voltage is applied to the two conductors, electric field lines form across the dielectric material between the two conductors. This individual electric field varies between positive and negative amounts and charge accumulates around the conductors resulting in capacitance.The MKP385618016JPM4T0 film capacitor has a design which offers very low ESR and low inductance, making it ideal for use in high frequency applications. The housing of the film capacitor is designed to effectively isolate the film from the outside environment ensuring stable performance.

Conclusion

The MKP385618016JPM4T0 is an example of a film capacitor, a device which is similar to electrolytic capacitors but utilizes a modified dielectric material instead of electrolyte. This capacitor has a number of advantages over its counterparts due to its low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and low inductance, making it ideal for high frequency applications such as pulse charging or discharging as well as DC-blocking or filtering interference. The working principle of the MKP385618016JPM4T0 is the same as other film capacitors, taking two conductors and use a dielectric material to generate a charge between them. The housing of the MKP385618016JPM4T0 is designed to effectively isolate the film from the outside environment, making it a reliable component with stable performance.
