Film Capacitors – Made in Germany

Miniature capacitors in PCM 2.5

  • Overview
  • FKP 02
  • MKS 02
  • Applications
Fields of Application: Automotive, Power, Lighting, Medical, Consumer, Telecom/Data, New Energy
Product Type Application Function Circuit Application Waveform Requirements Special Characteristics

MKS 02

 

Blocking/Coupling

High-pass filter:

– preventing DC voltages
– transferring AC voltages
– High insulation resistance
– Low self-inductance (to observe voltage rating)

Metallized film capacitors (MKS 02):

  • High capacitance values in small box sizes
  • Smallest PCM: 2.5 mm
  • ΔC/C over temperature: very low
  • Self-healing capability-> high withstanding voltage, high reliability
Film/Foil capacitors (FKP 02):
  • High pulse and current rating
  • Smallest PCM: 2.5 mm
  • ΔC/C over temperature: very low
  • Very high insulation resistance
  • Close tolerances
  • High-frequency application due to very low dissipation factor
  • High reliability
Bypass/Decoupling

Low-pass filter:

– suppressing transmission of high frequencies (AC voltages)
– High insulation resistance
– Low self-inductance
Smoothing
– smoothing of pulsating DC-voltages from AC-rectifier
– Comparably high capacitance
– Low dissipation factor (to observe frequency)

FKP 02

 

 

Band-pass filter (e.g. audio, TV)
– pass frequencies within a certain range
– attenuate frequencies outside that range
– Low dissipation factor
– Stable capacitance
Band-stop filter (e.g. audio, TV)
– attenuate frequencies within a specific range
– pass frequencies outside that range
– Low dissipation factor
– Stable capacitance
Timing (e.g. signal light)
– when capacitor is charged voltage is increasing over time
– after passing certain value a new state change occurs
– High insulation resistance
– Stable capacitance
Sample & hold (e.g. amplifier) analogue-digital converter:
– capacitor is used to store analogue voltage value
– electronic switch is used to connect/disconnect capacitor from analogue input (sampling rate)
– Low dielectric absorption
– High insulation resistance
Peak voltage detectors
– diode conducts positive „half cycles“ to charge capacitor to peak voltage
– DC "peak" stored in the capacitor, the diode is blocking current flow
– capacitor retaines the peak value even if the waveform drops to zero
– Low dielectric absorption
– High insulation resistance

About us

As the world's leading manufacturer, we develop and manufacture high-quality film capacitors for professional use in all areas of electronics.

As privately owned company since 1948 we are producing exclusively in Germany. As specialist in film capacitors our goal is to achieve customer satisfaction in terms of quality, innovation and service.

Our strength lies in the production and design not only of standard but also of customized products requiring experience and highly developed expertise. Solutions can therefore be offered to all customer needs.
