Overview
The Marcon 70MAK106U is a metallized polypropylene capacitor engineered for industrial and power electronics applications. With a 10µF capacitance rating and 700WV DC working voltage (500V AC), this film capacitor combines the reliability and low-loss characteristics of modern metallized polypropylene technology. Marcon capacitors are produced by United Chemi-Con, the successor to Marcon Electronics Co., Ltd., specializing in film capacitor designs.
Key Features
- Metallized polypropylene film dielectric for self-healing fault tolerance
- High voltage rating: 700WV DC / 500V AC continuous operation
- Compact form factor suitable for retrofit and new equipment integration
- Low dissipation factor and ESR for clean power delivery
- Suitable for power electronics, motor drives, and AC line applications
Technical Specifications
Capacitance: 10µF ±10% (standard tolerance for film capacitors). Voltage Rating: 700WV (DC) / 500V AC continuous. Dielectric: Metallized Polypropylene Film. Technology: Metallized polypropylene employs an ultra-thin aluminum or zinc layer vacuum-deposited onto the film, creating electrodes typically 20-50 nanometers thick. The metallized construction enables self-healing properties that prevent catastrophic failures.
Typical Applications
- DC link and energy storage in motor variable frequency drives (VFDs)
- AC power factor correction and harmonic filtering circuits
- Snubber and clamp networks in switching power supplies
