100YXA10M5X11

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are widely used in electronics, mainly due to their high energy density and relatively low cost means of producing large capacitance values. The 100YXA10M5X11 is a series of high-temperature, extended-life electrolytic capacitors suitable for use in applications where environmental, temperature, and voltage/current stresses are high. This makes them popular in power converters, inverters, automotive, industrial, military, and aerospace applications.

Construction and Principle of Operation

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of two aluminium foil electrodes that are separated by a thin insulating layer of aluminum oxide. The oxide layer acts both as a dielectric and as an electrolyte. The electrodes are also usually wound to form an anode and a cathode. An electrical charge is then applied to the anode resulting in the generation of additional oxide layer on the electrode, increasing the capacitance per unit volume. This increased capacitance results in an increased stored energy in the capacitor, but also an increased leakage current and lower insulation resistance. As such, they are typically rated for specific operating voltages.

The 100YXA10M5X11 Aluminum Capacitor series features unique and innovative construction which includes a new cathode technology which allows for greater stability and improved reliability even under highly challenging stressors. This new construction also helps reduce equivalent series resistance and improve ripple current ratings.
