Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also called film dielectric capacitors, plastic foil capacitors, and paper capacitors, are passive components found on generic circuit boards. They are composed of thin plastic film layers that are held together by metal plates, where one layer acts as an insulator while the other acts as an electrode or plate. Film capacitors are available in a variety of types, which depends on the type of dielectric used.

0MKP386M422200JT2 application field and working principle

The MKP386M422200JT2 is a film capacitor manufactured by Cornell Dubilier. It is a polypropylene Film, Non-Polarized Electrolytic Capacitor with an operating voltage of 450 volts. The diameter of the capacitor is 22.2mm and the height is 11.1mm. This type of film capacitor has an extensive application field in the electronic industry, such as power converters, power amplifiers, bypass filter circuits, inductor coils and other high density circuits.

Film capacitors generally operate by storing electrical energy that can be obtained when current is allowed to pass through it. The electrical charge is stored in the space between an anode and a dielectric material that functions as an insulator. The amount of charge that the film capacitor can store is determined by its capacitance, which is measured in Farads. As the electric field between the anode and the dielectric material interacts, an electric current will be generated and dissipated.

Additionally, the MKP386M422200JT2 boasts a temperature coefficient of ±20PPM/°C and a maximum Dissipation Factor of 0.00007. It has a long life span of 10,000 hours at rated voltage and 1,200 hours at maximum operating voltage. It also ensures DC leakage current of 0.00075CV, where C is the capacitance (µF) and V is the working voltage (V).

In conclusion, the MKP386M422200JT2 is an ideal film capacitor for a wide range of digital and analog applications. It offers extended longevity, excellent stability, and great capacitance stability for an extremely reliable performance.
