Film Capacitors

The MKT1818433064 capacitor is a polyester film capacitor often used as part of circuit design elements, especially in sensor and transducer circuits. It boasts a small size with great capacity—ideal for a range of small electronics.

Application Field

The small-sized MKT1818433064 capacitor is favored in a number of low-voltage electronics applications. These include sensor and transducer circuits, signal circuits, high-frequency amplifiers, linear power supplies, and acoustics circuits.

These capacitors are often used as part of the main components of various small conveniences and consumer products. They may be used to power input circuits for remote controls, windscreen demisters and liquid crystal displays. A large part of these applications demand reliable customer-oriented characteristics such as low leakage current, high insulation resistance, and small size.

Working Principle

Film capacitors are polarized capacitors that use a thin plastic film as the dielectric material between their two metal plates. The MKT1818433064, like other film capacitors, features an aluminium electrolyte and consists of two rolls of aluminium foil. Its dielectric material is a stretched plastic film.

These capacitors work by storing energy within their film dielectric layers, allowing them to mask short circuit currents and higher frequencies. They have low levels of inductance and minimal E.F.I (electro-static field interference) that arises due to electric-fields trapping charge particles.

The MKT1818433064 capacitor offers a relatively high capacitance in a small size. It is typically used as a decoupling capacitor, meaning it stores energy for later use, allowing the device it is powering to smoothly transfer from one system to another.
