WEET What Factors Affect The Price Of WMF MKP Metal Film Audio Capacitors?

December 16, 2025
As we all know, MKP metal film audio capacitors are extremely popular. However, their prices may fluctuate from time to time. So why do their prices change frequently, and what factors are driving these fluctuations?

Factors Affecting Prices

• Materials

  MKP metal film audio capacitors use polypropylene as the dielectric material, which requires extremely high dielectric purity and stability, thus exerting an impact on the price.

• Production Processes

  The manufacturing of audio capacitors generally demands precision machining and rigorous testing. The complexity of these processes directly contributes to the production costs.

• Specifications and Parameters

  1. The capacitance and rated voltage of a capacitor are direct determinants of its price. The higher the capacitance and rated voltage, the higher the price.

  2. Capacitors with larger dimensions are also usually priced higher.

• Applications

  1. Some Capacitor for High End Audio Applications are specially designed and other fields with stringent requirements for sound quality, these capacitors come with a higher price tag.

  2. Customized designs, such as customized capacitor packages, typically result in a higher price.

CONCLUSION

It is a completely normal phenomenon for the price of MKP metal film audio capacitors to fluctuate frequently, as it is affected by factors such as materials, production processes and specifications & parameters.
