Film Capacitors

Film capacitors are components that store electrical energy via a static charge. Film capacitors are a type of capacitor that uses film as the dielectric material instead of the more common ceramic, paper or electrolytic. They have a number of advantages over these other options, including:

• Longer operating life
• More reliable performance
• Reduced risk of leakage
• Improved temperature and humidity tolerance

The MKT1817322016G is an example of a film capacitor. It is manufactured by Sangda Electric Ltd., and designed for use in power electronics, automotive and communications applications. The capacitor has a voltage rating of 400V and a capacitance of 1.79731 pF. It has a maximum operating temperature of +125°C, a dielectric absorption ratio of 8%, and a maximum self-resonant frequency of 1.8 MHz. Its typical ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) is 0.002 ohms.

The MKT1817322016G is a PCB (printed circuit board) mountable film capacitor, meaning that it can be used in a variety of applications where a compact solution is desired. The capacitor features a vacuum embedded core to decrease its equivalent series inductance (ESL) and reduce the power dissipation. The capacitor also features a low impedance, allowing it to handle high ripple currents.

The working principle of the MKT1817322016G is based on the same principle that is used in other film capacitors. When a voltage is applied across the plates of the capacitor, the dielectric material between the plates accumulates electrons and stores electrical energy. When the voltage is removed, the electrons are released, allowing the stored electrical energy to be released. As the process continues, the capacitor charges and releases its energy, storing and releasing electrical energy.

In addition to its power applications, the MKT1817322016G can also be used for signal filtering and decoupling. In signal filtering, the capacitor is used to reduce accelerated signals, blocking the passage of higher frequency signals while allowing lower frequency signals to pass through. In decoupling, the capacitor is used to decouple two circuits and reduce electrical noise. The capacitor can also be used for data protection in memory applications, as it can help protect delicate data from electrostatic discharge.

Overall, the MKT1817322016G is a versatile film capacitor with a wide range of applications. It offers many advantages over other types of capacitors, including a longer operating life, reliable performance, improved temperature and humidity tolerance, and a low impedance allowing it to handle high ripple currents. The capacitor is suitable for use in a variety of applications, including power electronics, automotive and communications, signal filtering and decoupling, and data protection in memory applications.
