Film Capacitors

The MKT1813322406G is a type of film capacitor, often also known as plastic film capacitors, film dielectric capacitors, or polymer film capacitors. It’s composed of a plastic film as dielectric/electrical insulation with metalized electrodes layers on each side of the plastic film. Polyester (PET or PETP) is the most common of the plastic film capacitors and that is likely the construction type for the MKT1813322406G. The benefits of plastic film capacitors are significant. They are available in small sizes but with relatively low equivalent series resistance and high capacitance values.

Application Field

The MKT1813322406G capacitors are used primarily for DC blocking and AC coupling , such as in coupling of audio and radio frequency signals, AC line filtering in power supplies, oscillators, and specialty filter networks; DC to DC converters, EMI/RFI filtering, snubbers across power switching devices, and in timing circuits and other control circuits. Because the typical working voltage for polyester film capacitors is 50VAC or 100VDC with MKT1813322406G being no exception, care must be taken not to exceed the maximum voltage rating of these devices.

Working Principle

The way a capacitor of this type works is by creating a physical barrier for direct current while allowing alternating current to flow. The alternating current is able to pass through the capacitor due to the oscillations in the charge on its terminals. As a result, the MKT1813322406G is able to filter any direct current that is present in a circuit while allowing the alternating current to pass without much interference. The dielectric material of the MKT1813322406G also has another advantage which is very useful – it enables the capacitor to store energy in the form of an electric field within its body.

This electric field means that energy can be stored in the capacitor even after the circuit has been powered off. This phenomenon is very useful, as it allows the capacitor to act as a hold up device in the event of a power outage. In this instance, the stored energy in the capacitor is able to provide power to the circuit while the external power source is restored.
