Learn the critical capacitor traits that impact system performance – and how to choose them wisely.
Why Capacitor Selection Defines System Stability
In power electronics, industrial automation, and control applications, circuit stability is not negotiable. One faulty component — especially a capacitor — can undermine years of development and validation.
Among passive components, film capacitors are often favored for their balance of insulation strength, low energy loss, and mechanical robustness. But not all film capacitors offer the same performance under stress.
Dissipation Factor: A Hidden Efficiency Metric
The dissipation factor (DF) indicates how much power is lost as heat inside the capacitor. A lower DF translates to lower self-heating, better efficiency, and longer operational lifespan.
For most switching and filtering applications, a DF under 0.5% is acceptable. However, when long-term reliability is required, ultra-low DF products provide an extra layer of safety.
The Kingtronics FKT-MM series offers a DF as low as 0.1%, making it suitable for heat-sensitive or power-critical environments.
Thermal Stability and Electrical Integrity
Real-world conditions — such as elevated ambient temperatures or repeated switching stress — cause internal drift in many capacitor types. Parameters like capacitance, ESR, and insulation resistance can degrade over time.
The FKT-MS / MT / MM series is manufactured with high-grade film and controlled processes to ensure minimal electrical drift even under extended operating conditions.
This consistency helps avoid performance degradation in mission-critical systems.
Flexible Packaging for Design Integration
Designers are increasingly constrained by space and layout limitations. A single capacitor model with rigid form factors can create routing problems or force unnecessary PCB redesigns.
The FKT series is available in Mini Box, Stacked, and Box Type formats, with multiple pitch and lead length options. This flexibility enables easier mechanical integration without sacrificing performance.
Global Compliance and Application Readiness
Compliance with RoHS and related safety standards is critical for global deployment. All FKT series capacitors are RoHS-compliant and widely used in industrial, energy, and power control sectors.
These components are pre-qualified for international OEMs, reducing barriers for export and certification.
