VISHAY MKT1813 Film Capacitor 1uF 160V AC Axial Leaded

The VISHAY MKT1813 Film Capacitor is a general purpose DC film capacitor with a polyester film dielectric and metallised electrodes. It is designed for applications requiring reliable energy conversion, low losses, high efficiency, and long service life. The component features axial leaded tinned wire connections, making it suitable for through-hole mounting in low building height PCB layouts.

Key Features

• Dielectric: Metallized PET (polyester) film
• 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)

The capacitor utilises an extremely thin metal layer (0.02 to 0.1 µm) vacuum deposited onto the dielectric, providing high volume efficiency. The wound element is connected via flame spraying (schooping) of different metals on end-faces, ensuring robust connections. Terminals are welded or soldered to the ends for reliable electrical performance.

Applications

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