Film Capacitors

Film capacitors, also known as plastic film capacitors, are electrolytic capacitors that use plastic film as the dielectric. The film capacitors come in two versions; Metallized film capacitors and foil film capacitors. The MKT1818422015G is a metallized film capacitor.

Applications of MKT1818422015G

The MKT1818422015G is mainly used in household appliances and electronic equipment, such as washing machines, air conditioners, TVs, VCDs, and other devices.

Working Principle of MKT1818422015G

The working principle of a metallized film capacitor is based on the principle of electric fields. Electric fields generate electric forces, which can be exploited to make a capacitor. The MKT1818422015G consists of two metal plates coated with an insulating dielectric material (plastic film). When a voltage is applied between the two plates, electric forces form a varying electric field through the dielectric material. This varying electric field then causes a varying electric field between the plates, and this electric field creates a current flow that is proportional to the applied voltage.

As the applied voltage increases, the electric field in the capacitor also increases. This increasing electric field is what allows a film capacitor to act as a highly efficient electrical component, allowing it to store energy. When the applied voltage is removed, the electric field dissipates and the capacitor discharges, releasing its stored electrical energy.

Conclusion

The MKT1818422015G is a type of metallized film capacitor designed to be used in a wide range of consumer electronics and appliances. It operates on the principle of electric fields, allowing it to store and release electrical energy. Its wide range of applications make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
