Introduction to Film Capacitors

A film capacitor is a type of capacitor which uses a film as its dielectric material—the insulating layer between the plates of the capacitor, usually made of polyester, polypropylene or polystyrene film material.

Film capacitors are extremely robust and reliable, providing outstanding temperature stability, EMI protection, high voltage strength, high insulation resistance, low losses, self-healing capabilities, and good linearity. The increasing demand and use of film capacitors is mainly driven by their relative immunity to stresses encountered in motor drive and power control system applications.

MKP385656016JYM2T0 Application Field and Working Principle

The MKP385656016JYM2T0 film capacitor is one of the most commonly used film capacitors in electronic gear, and it is mainly used for power electronic products. This type of capacitor is produced by connecting two plates of different metallized film which are then laminated into a component with a series of winding layers. Because of its small size, high efficiency, fast response, no spark risk, as well as good noise reduction properties, the MKP385656016JYM2T0 is a popular choice in many power and electrical circuits.

To understand its working principle, it is important to understand how the energy is dissipated with a film capacitor. When the voltage is applied to the capacitor, the electric field in the dielectric will be limited to certain limits determined by the applied voltage and the product of the dielectric constant and the thickness of the film. This is why film capacitors have the ability to store energy. The electric field is then converted to movement of the electrons, which is responsible for the generation of heat and the dissipation of energy.
