MKT1813147634

Introduction

MKT1813147634 is a type of film capacitor sometimes called polyester film capacitor, a small non-polarized device capable of storing an electric charge for a brief period of time. It is a type of electrolytic capacitor with an aluminum un-patterned electrolytic foil acting as the anode, covered with a thin dielectric layer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic film. The cathode is made of an aluminum foil covered with aluminum oxides which acts as a dielectric. The MKT type capacitors are frequently used in consumer electronics equipment that ensures the smooth operation of the circuits such as radio, television, amplifiers and power supplies among many others.

Application field

The MKT1813147634 film capacitors can be used in a variety of high-frequency circuits due to their advantages such as high frequency and low reactance. They are used effectively in applications such as radio receivers, transmitters, video cameras, portable audio players, amplifiers, television receivers, and power supplies. The MKT1813147634 has a low loss factor, excellent insulation performance, and high temperature stability, making them majorly suitable in applications such as professional audio amplification equipment, instrumentation, and medical and aerospace applications.

Working principle

The dielectric layer in MKT1813147634 film capacitors is very thin, allowing them to store a great amount of electric charge and energy. This capacitor works on a simple principle that when the positive and negative plates are separated by a dielectric medium, it creates an electric field between them. This electric field attracts and repels the free electrons, resulting in an electric charge buildup or storage on both plates. As long as no current passes through the dielectric layer, the electric charge on the plates is static and has nearly infinite resistance. This stored electric charge can then be released by allowing the electric current to pass from one plate to the other by creating a small path in the dielectric medium.

Conclusion

The MKT1813147634 film capacitors are one of the most commonly used types of capacitors in modern electronics. This capacitors provide high frequency capability and low loss factors making them suitable for numerous high-frequency applications. In addition, its thin dielectric layer allows it to store a great amount of electric charge and energy to provide power for the electronic devices they are connected to.
