Working Principle

A MKT1820633165 consists of two separate but interconnected layers of metalized face-up films, one of them acting as the positively charged “anode” and the other, the negatively charged “cathode”. A dielectric, normally made of polyester, PET or polypropylene, is sandwiched between the two layers. This arrangement creates the capacitor’s electrical field and allows it to store charge and release it when the circuit is activated. This type of capacitor is usually low impedance, yet high capacitance, as the dielectric works very efficiently.

Advantages

The most notable advantages of MKT1820633165 are its superior stability, high capacitance value, low leakage, and resistance to temperature fluctuations. The metalized film used in its construction also offers superior performance over other materials such as ceramics or electrolytic capacitors. Additionally, this type of capacitor offers superior noise filtering for improved signal integrity in audio/video systems.

Disadvantages

MKT1820633165 capacitors suffer from a limited capacitance range, making them unsuitable for certain applications. Additionally, their cost is higher than other types of capacitors, so they are not as economical. Lastly, their size and shape also make them difficult to integrate into some designs.
