Electronic Concepts - Model 5MC Series -Metallized Polycarbonate Film Capacitor for Switch-Mode Power Converters
The 5MC Series Metallized Polycarbonate Film Capacitor is developed by Electronic Concepts specifically for use in switch-mode power converters. This miniature capacitor helps conserve printed circuit board space due to its compact configuration. It features low equivalent series resistance (ESR), substantial ripple current capability, and a high resonant frequency, making it ideal for switch-mode applications. The capacitor offers a capacitance range and tolerance suitable for various power conversion needs. Its robust design ensures dielectric strength, with the ability to withstand DC potential of 150% rated voltage for two minutes without damage. Performance remains stable across a temperature range of +25°C to +125°C with a dissipation factor not exceeding 0.3% at 1000 Hz. Inspection and quality control measures are strictly followed, and detailed process data is available upon request.
The type 5MC is a new miniature polycarbonate film capacitor that is designed specifically for switch-mode power converters. It is the first of a series developed by Electronic Concepts for switch-mode applications that offers a miniature configuration to conserve printed circuit board space, with low ESR, excellent ripple capacity, and high resonant frequency.
