VISHAY MKT1813 Series Axial Film Capacitor, Metallized PET, 0.1 µF - 160 250

The VISHAY MKT1813 Series is a high-quality, general-purpose DC film capacitor, designed for reliability and robust performance in a wide range of electronic circuits. Featuring a metallised polyester (PET) film dielectric and metallised electrodes, this component offers excellent electrical characteristics and long-term stability. The construction includes tinned copper wire leads for easy soldering, with a flame-retardant plastic wrap and an epoxy resin seal that ensures protection against environmental factors and enhances durability.

This capacitor is ideally suited for numerous critical functions within low-voltage applications. Its primary uses include blocking, bypassing, filtering, coupling, and decoupling, making it a versatile choice for smoothing power supplies and managing signal integrity. It is also highly effective for interference suppression, helping to minimise electrical noise and ensure cleaner circuit operation. The series is available in both mono and internal series constructions to suit different design requirements.

Offering a broad capacitance range from 470 pF to 22 µF (following the E12 series), the MKT1813 series provides engineers with flexible options. Capacitance tolerances of ±20%, ±10%, and ±5% are available, allowing for precise selection based on application needs. The component is rated for an AC voltage of 220 V and a DC voltage of 630 V, with a through-hole mounting style via its axial leads for secure PCB installation.

Built to withstand demanding conditions, it operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -55°C to +100°C and carries a humidity rating of GRADE II (Test Condition A). As a 'Green' product, it complies with environmental standards, making it a responsible choice for modern electronics. Its compact, axial-leaded package is a classic and space-efficient form factor commonly used in consumer electronics, industrial controls, and timing circuits.
