MKP386M468085JT5

Film capacitors are a type of capacitor based on thin plastic films, such as polyimide, polycarbonate, polyester or polypropylene. These capacitors are used for a variety of analog and digital applications, such as decoupling, snubber and high-voltage applications, as well as low-level signal applications. The MKP386M468085JT5 is an ideal film capacitor for these applications, offering excellent corrosion resistance, temperature stability and a wide range of operating voltages and capacitances.

One of the biggest advantages of film capacitors is their excellent static and dynamic properties. Compared to other types of capacitors, film technology offers superior temperature stability, low leakage, and high capacitance values. This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications. For example, they can be used in high frequency circuits, electronics motor drives, lighting systems, solar inverters, and high voltage transformer applications.

The MKP386M468085JT5 is a metallized polyester (PET) film capacitor that can handle up to 265V RMS and has a capacitance range of 10 nF to 0.1 uF. It features wide capacitance tolerance and stability, high insulation resistance and has a UL 94V-0 rating, making it suitable for many industrial and commercial applications. It is also RoHS compliant and is UL approved (file number E312947) making it globally accepted for various applications.

The working principle of the MKP386M468085JT5 is simple. When an alternating current (AC) is applied across the capacitor terminals, the capacitor charges and discharges. The amount of charge and discharge depends on the magnitude of the AC voltage and the time interval between positive and negative half-cycles. The dielectric material used in the capacitor acts as an electrical insulator and does not allow current to flow, thus storing an electrical charge. As a result, whenever a load is connected to the capacitor, the capacitor releases the stored charge to balance the load, while the adjacent capacitor keeps charging and discharging thus maintaining balance between source and load. This process is continued until the capacitor reaches its maximum capacitance.

The MKP386M468085JT5 is a great choice for a variety of applications. It is particularly suitable for snubber circuits, decoupling applications, power supply circuits, motor control circuits, and high voltage transformer applications. In addition, it can be used for circuit protection applications, general purpose signal applications, automotive electronics, LED lighting, and medical equipment.

In summary, the MKP386M468085JT5 is an ideal film capacitor for various analog and digital applications. It offers excellent temperature stability, low leakage, excellent static and dynamic properties, as well as a wide range of operating voltages and capacitances. It is also RoHS compliant, UL approved and globally acceptable making it a great choice for many industrial and commercial applications.
