VISHAY MKT1813 Film Capacitor 1µF 160V AC Axial Leaded

VISHAY MKT1813 1µF 160V AC Film Capacitor is a general purpose DC film capacitor with a metallised PET (polyester) film dielectric and axial leaded tinned wire connections for through-hole mounting. Rated at 1µF with ±10% tolerance, it offers 160V AC and 250V DC voltage ratings, making it suitable for PCB designs that require a low building height.

Key Features

• Dielectric: Metallised PET (polyester) film with metallised electrodes
• Capacitance: 1µF with ±10% tolerance
• Voltage rating: 160V AC / 250V DC
• Construction: Axial leaded, through-hole with PC pin terminals
• Encapsulation: Flame-retardant epoxy resin, plastic-wrapped
• Reliability: Self-healing properties for long-term stability
• Temperature range: -55 °C to +100 °C
• Humidity rating: GRADE II (Test Condition A)

Construction and Design

The capacitor uses an extremely thin metal layer (0.02 to 0.1 µm) vacuum deposited onto the dielectric, which provides high volume efficiency. The wound element is connected by flame spraying (schooping) of different metals on the end-faces, and the terminals are welded or soldered to the ends for reliable electrical performance.

Applications

This capacitor is intended for power management and clock timing circuits in low-voltage applications, including DC filtering, coupling, bypassing, and interference suppression. Its low building height suits compact and space-constrained electronic devices.

Dimensions and Weight

Dimensions are 43 mm x 33 mm x 15 mm (L x B x H), and the component weighs 2.4 g.

Choose the VISHAY MKT1813 1µF 160V AC Film Capacitor when a through-hole, axial leaded film capacitor with 1µF capacitance and a 160V AC / 250V DC rating is required for your circuit design.
