capacitor type

there are many type of capacitor out there:
MKS, MKY, MKP, MKM, MKT, MKU, MKL, MPP, PFC, PFR, WIMA ....

i need information for it's best use, pros, con ....

if you have link for information about it, please post it (i will google too)
i like to read many of them
 

Re: capacitor type

Plastic metal alloy capacitors (like MK capacitors) can self recovery after breakdown. Very thin metal layer coat to plastic foil about 0.02 to 0.05 um. The arc with rise at breakdown will evaporate metal layer at the point without damage the dielectric. This happened for less then 10 usec. Capacitance lost can be disparage. Metal layer constructed to cylinder type or flat or arranged to stack. Metal syringe method that used to connect the wires guaranted all the roll are connected. That was made the MK capacitors had low inductance and low losses characteristic.

DIN Code :
M = Metal layer ---------- M K X
K = Plastic --------------------|
where "X" denotes/replace by following
S = Polystyrene (MKS = MKY)
P = Polyprophylene (MKP)
C = Polycarbonate (MKC = MKM)
T = Polythereftalate (MKT = MKH)
U = Cellulose Acetate (MKU = MKL)
