MKP386M547100YT5

Film capacitors are divided into two types, metallized and non-metallized. The MKP386M547100YT5 is a metallized polypropylene film capacitor used for switching power supplies, DC-DC converter, and other energy storage circuits. It is a type of self-healing metalized capacitor, offering both high energy density and high reliability, making it a great choice for applications where small size and high energy capacity are important.

The MKP386M547100YT5 is designed with a polypropylene capacitor film, providing features such as low loss, high stability, low ESR, and high dielectric strength under temperature fluctuations. It also features a wide operating temperature range (-40 Celsius to +85 Celsius), high temperature endurance, low dissipation factor, and long life. This makes it an ideal solution for high-temperature applications, such as advanced control and power electronics applications that require reliable performance.

The MKP386M547100YT5 has a self-healing mechanism, where any fault energy is quickly absorbed and stored by the film rather than the dielectric, allowing it to protect itself from further damage. This self-protection mechanism makes it an ideal choice for applications that need reliable protection against short-circuit, overload, and thermal emergencies.

The MKP386M547100YT5 is also designed with an internal voltage rating of 450V, allowing it to handle high voltage applications. The design also features a low parasitic capacitance values which ensures excellent performance in terms of noise suppression in power electronics applications.

The working principle of the MKP386M547100YT5 is based on the concept of dielectrics. The film material used in the capacitor acts as the dielectric, allowing the capacitor to store electrical energy when a voltage is applied across it. The stored energy is used to create a potential difference in the capacitor so that current can flow through it. The applied voltage causes electrons to be trapped in the dielectric, creating an electric field between the two plates. As current flows through the capacitor, the trapped electrons are repelled by the electric field, resulting in the transfer of energy.

In summary, the MKP386M547100YT5 is a type of metallized film capacitor designed for use in power supplies, DC-DC converter, and energy storage circuits. It has features such as high energy density, self-healing mechanism, high dielectric strength and voltage rating, and low dissipation factor. It works through the principle of dielectrics, allowing it to store the electrical energy applied to it for later use. This, combined with its reliable performance and durability, makes it an ideal choice for applications in power electronics.
