Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a type of capacitor that use aluminum oxide in order to create a high capacitance field. They are widely used in a variety of industries and applications due to their relatively small size and high capacitance value. The 16MS733MEFCTZ5X7 is an example of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor and is used mainly in power supply applications.

The 16MS733MEFCTZ5X7 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a short cylindrical component that has three leads extending from one end and a mounting hole at the other. It has a rated capacitance of 33µF, a rated operating temperature of -55°C to +95°C, and a rated voltage of 6.3V. The part is constructed from an anodized aluminum body with a high-grade anode that has been processed to create aluminum oxide. The cathode is a conductive foil made of copper or brass, which is contacted by the anode. The assembly is then filled with an electrolyte that helps to connect the two sides of the capacitor.

Application Field

The 16MS733MEFCTZ5X7 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is primarily used in power supply applications, such as in switching regulators, inverters, DC/DC converters, and other DC-to-DC circuits. It is also used in other applications such as in audio crossover networks, thyristor circuits, and in voltage stabilizers. Due to its small size and high capacitance, it is also often used in hot-swapped power supplies and electronic ballasts.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors operate on the principle of electrolysis, where a voltage is applied to the capacitor’s terminals to cause a chemical reaction in the electrolyte. This reaction creates a barrier that blocks the flow of current, thus creating an electrical charge. In other words, the higher the voltage applied, the greater the capacitance created.

The 16MS733MEFCTZ5X7 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is also a non-polarized capacitor, meaning it does not require a specific polarity to be applied in order to function properly. This makes it suitable for use in a wide variety of applications that do not require a specific polarity.

The 16MS733MEFCTZ5X7 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an affordable and reliable component that is able to withstand temperatures beyond the rated range. Its small size makes it an ideal choice for many power supply applications, due to its low cost and high capacitance.
