MKT1820515016 Capacitors

Film capacitors represent a large class of capacitor technologies, widely used for both AC and DC applications in commercial, industrial, automotive, aerospace, and other electronic equipment. The primary purpose of a film capacitor is to store energy in the form of an electric field. The material of choice in the construction of film capacitors is a dielectric film, which is usually made from plastic, paper, or metalized polyester.

MKT1820515016 are film capacitors that are commonly used for DC applications in military and aviation electronics, industrial control systems, instrumentation, and aerospace equipment. They are also used in consumer and automotive electronics, such as radios, digital TVs, car navigation systems, and motor controllers. MKT1820515016 feature long life and high performance, and are well-suited to use in high-voltage and high-temperature applications.

The MKT1820515016 are composed of two layers: an insulating material and a conductive material. The insulating material consists of a plastic film coated on both sides with a dielectric sealant. The conductive material consists of thick, high purity copper foil layers with increased conductivity, which is then coated with a layer of tin alloy and baked to form a metallized layer on the surface.

The working principle of MKT1820515016 capacitors is based on electrostatics. When a voltage is applied across the plates of the capacitor, an electric field is created that stores energy, while the plates act as a dielectric material. As the voltage is increased, more electric field lines are created which increase the capacitance. The capacitance of an MKT1820515016 increases with increasing voltage, and decreases as the temperature increases.

MKT1820515016 are often used for applications such as power conditioning, DC filtering, AC filtering, and power analysis. They can also be used to suppress high frequency noise or to protect circuits from voltage spikes. They are ideal for use in high-voltage applications, as they can handle a great deal of current before failing. Additionally, MKT1820515016 capacitors are often used in solar arrays, due to their ability to provide protection from voltage surges and fluctuations.
