5MP1 Series metallized polypropylene capacitor

These metallized polypropylene capacitors are manufactured by using special techniques in order to achieve the optimum characteristics for high current, high capacitance, low ESR applications.
For Filter designs where capacitance of 50 or less is suitable for the circuit, type 5MP affords the opportunity to utilize capacitors with ESR's orders of magnitude better than those of electrolytics, thus providing the opportunity to improve general system design. These unique capacitors also exhibit none of the "roll-off" of capacitance with frequency often associated with electrolytics.
In addition to the features which make type 5MP particularly suitable for switching applications, they are also characterized by low losses. Other advantages of polypropylene are long term stability, retrace, low dielectric absorption, and high insulation resistance.
