108HSM025M

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors satisfy the need for large capacitance values in electronics, but how does the 108HSM025M aluminum electrolytic capacitor work?

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of two aluminum foils, each with a layer of oxide growing on the foil which acts as the dielectric or insulating material between them. These two electrodes are separated by a paper spacer and then rolled together. The capacitor is hermetically sealed in an aluminum canister hermetically sealed to keep it clean and ensure the quality of the dielectric oxide layer.

The working principle of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the same as that of any other type, in which two metal plates (in this case, aluminum) have a layer of insulating material separating them. A voltage applied between the two plates results in an electric field between them, which causes charge to accumulate on both plates. As charge accumulates on both plates, an electric current is created, and a local electric field is formed. The electric field creates a force, which results in a displacement of charge between the two plates. At a certain point, an equilibrium will be reached where the displacement of charge is exactly equal on both plates. It is in this state of equilibrium that the capacitance of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is measured.

The 108HSM025M aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a snap-in, non-polar capacitor often used in power supplies for computer motherboards, telecom switching devices, and audio and video products. The 108HSM025M provides performance at higher temperatures than traditional polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitors, making it suitable for application in high-temperature environments. It is also ripple current compatible, meaning that it can handle high levels of ripple current. This is an important factor in determining the maximum operating range of the capacitor. Its rated capacitance is 3.2uF and the rated voltage is 25V, making it suitable for low voltage operations.

In conclusion, the 108HSM025M aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a non-polar, snap-in electrolytic capacitor designed for use in power supplies, telecom switching devices and audio and video products. It is suitable for use in higher temperature environments and can handle high levels of ripple current. The rated capacitance is 3.2uF and the rated voltage is 25V, making it suitable for low voltage operations.
