MKP386M550085YT4

Film capacitors are capacitors that use a thin plastic film for the dielectric. Together with a metal electrode material, these are rolled, stacked, or wound to form the capacitor. It is basically two charged plates separated by a conducting material, commonly known as a dielectric. Film capacitors are versatile, economical, and offer an unlimited range of solutions for electrical filtering, coupling, and energy storage. In the market, one of the most popular film capacitors is the MKP386M550085YT4.

Working Principle

The MKP386M550085YT4 work by storing energy in the form of an electric field. This is achieved by charge separation in the capacitor plates, with the dielectric material separating them. The "dielectric constant" or "relative permittivity" of the material then determines the amount of charge stored in the capacitor for the same physical size. For the MKP386M550085YT4, the dielectric used is polypropylene, which has a high dielectric constant and thus allows the capacitor to store more energy. This stored energy is then released in a controlled manner, depending on the application. For example, in a power supply circuit, the capacitor is used to smooth out the voltage by releasing its stored energy when the voltage dips below the required level.
