Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, such as the MKT1818410016D, are primarily used for DC blocking, signal coupling, snubbing, and many other power conditioning functions. Film capacitors are generally preferred for high-frequency and pulse-service applications because of their excellent dielectric properties and excellent high-frequency interference. This article will explain the application field and working principle of the MKT1818410016D.

Application Field

Due to its unique dielectric characteristics and high reliability, the MKT1818410016D is suitable for power conversion applications, ac line filters and power filters, etc. It is also suitable for applications in the following fields:

• Audio equipment
• Industrial equipment
• Wind power
• Photovoltaic power
• Uninterruptible power supply
• Inverter.

It is ideal for use in applications where high peak currents and high dV/dt are required.

Working Principle

The MKT1818410016D is a sealed film capacitor that consists of a dielectric, two electrodes, and two end caps with a metallic shell on the outside. The dielectric is composed of several layers of thin plastic film and is electrically insulated from the two electrodes. The electrodes are powerful conductive layers that conduct current and must bear high voltage.

When applying an AC voltage, the dielectric layer stores energy in the form of an electric field between the two electrodes. The energy is then returned to the circuit when the applied voltage reaches its peak and begins to decrease. As a result, the MKT1818410016D acts as a filter or energy storage device in the AC circuit and is often used in applications that require high frequencies or large signal changes.

In addition, the MKT1818410016D features high stability, low ESR, and low loss. Therefore, it can be used in high current or pulse applications to reduce interference and signal loss. Additionally, it can effectively reduce the leakage current of the AC circuit, improve the signal-to-noise ratio, and reduce the cost of the AC system.

Conclusion

The MKT1818410016D is a film capacitor that is often used for power conversion, AC line filters, and power filters. Its excellent dielectric properties, low ESR, and low loss makes it ideal for high frequency applications and applications involving large signal change.
