• High voltage and high current applications

The MKP386M412250JT5 is well-suited for high-frequency applications due to its high-frequency stability and low leakage currents. In addition, due to its stable temperature characteristics, it can also be used in temperature-sensitive applications.

Working Principle

The MKP386M412250JT5 film capacitor is a three-terminal device consisting of two electrodes and a dielectric layer. A voltage potential is applied between the electrodes, and as the capacitance increases with voltage, an electric field is formed in the dielectric, which in turn causes an ionic current to flow. This ionic current is what allows charge to be stored in the capacitor.

When the applied voltage is removed, the stored charge is released. This charge releases as an electric current, and this is what gives the capacitor its capacitance. The capacitance of the MKP386M412250JT5 is rated at 0.7μF (microfarads) with a 5% tolerance.

The MKP386M412250JT5 is also designed to be a self-healing capacitor, meaning that if it becomes damaged due to an overload, it can be repaired by discharging the excess current from the capacitor. This is a feature which many capacitors lack, making the MKP386M412250JT5 a very reliable and durable choice for a wide range of applications.

Conclusion

The MKP386M412250JT5 polymer film capacitor belongs to the family of capacitors and has many advantageous features which make it a great choice for many applications. Its low ESR and ESL, high current and volumetric efficiency, high frequency stability, and low leakage currents make it suitable for high frequency applications, DC-DC converters, tuned circuits, voltage stabilization, LC filters, surge suppression, and high voltage and current applications. Additionally, it is a self-healing device which makes it even more reliable and durable.
