MKP386M468250YT7

Introduction

Film capacitors, also known as film dielectric capacitors, are capacitors whose dielectric is a thin plastic film. The MKP386M468250YT7 is a medium energy film capacitor from KEMET Corporation, offering a durable connection to the terminal with excellent insulation performance and a low dielectric absorption rate. This capacitor is designed for both ES and high-end applications.

Applications

MKP386M468250YT7 is suitable for different applications such as high-parameter filtering, resonant circuits, coupling, bypassing, sleep/standby power supply, DC-DC converters, power supplies, inductive pulse circuits, etc. Its common applications include digital displays, air conditioners, copiers, cameras, electric fans, electric tools, etc. The capacitor provides a very stable capacitance value over a wide range of temperature, voltage, and frequency, making it suitable for all types of electronic equipment.

Working Principle

The core of the capacitor is a metallized film with the electrode on both sides of the film. The metallized film works like an insulator between two layers of an electrical charge. When connected to a voltage source, electrons will flow across the film layer, allowing the capacitor to store electrical energy. As the load on the capacitor increases, the film layer will absorb more charge, increasing the stored energy. The capacitor also has an impedance value, which determines how quickly the voltage can be applied or removed from the capacitor.

The MKP386M468250YT7 Film Capacitor also features a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) value which is important in maintaining a steady voltage. This is due to the low dielectric absorption rate, which allows for a longer discharge time for the capacitor. This is particularly useful in filtering applications, where even a minor discrepancy in the voltage can cause significant errors.

Conclusion

The MKP386M468250YT7 is an ideal choice for applications that require a medium energy film capacitor with excellent insulation performance and low dielectric absorption rate. It has a wide range of applications, from digital displays to DC-DC converters and provides a steady voltage via its low ESR value. With its high reliability and long service life, the MKP386M468250YT7 Film Capacitor is an ideal option.
