Farnell element14 has extended its long running agreement with supplier Vishay to stock the MKP386 film capacitor.
SnubberCapacitors used independently or with other circuit elements to suppress voltage transients in electrical circuits. capacitors are designed to reduce or eliminate voltage and current spikes, thus reducing EMI by clamping voltage and current ringing caused by the switching of Power Semiconductors, and to reduce switching losses.
The MKP386M typical applications are Photovoltaic Inverters, Wind Inverters, Motor Drives and frequencyThe number of complete cycles or vibrations per unit of time. Rate of alternation in an AC current. Expressed in cycles per second or hertz (Hz). converters, and are designed for direct IGBT mounting, thus reducing stray inductance.
The application temperature has been upgraded to 105°C, being the MKP386M a suitable solution for a wide range of ambient conditions. The new MKP386M generation incorporates Halogen Free materials, becoming a Vishay Green product.
