16SEPF180M

Aluminum - Polymer Capacitors

The 16SEPF180M is a type of Aluminum - Polymer capacitor. The technology of Aluminum-polymer capacitors is a combination of conventional tantalum electrolytic and plastic film dielectrics. This hybrid capacitor has a lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) than conventional ta-capacitors, making the capacitor ideal for automotive applications.

The 16SEPF180M is a miniature, surface mount aluminum-polymer capacitor. It has a rated voltage of 16 volts and a capacitance of 180µF. The capacitor has a maximum operating temperature of 85°C and a maximum ripple current of 0.2 A/C. The capacitor can handle up to 12.5V DC for the rated operating temperature and the ripple current of 0.2 A/C is adequate for most applications.

Aluminum-polymer capacitors are used in a wide range of applications from battery powered devices to automotive electronics. This type of capacitor is ideal for applications where a high capacitance value is needed in a small form factor. Aluminum-polymer capacitors can provide reliable performance in line with high power audio amplifiers, inverters and rectifiers, and consumer electronics.

The working principle of the 16SEPF180M aluminum-polymer capacitor is the same as other capacitors. The capacitor has two electrodes separated by a dielectric material. When a voltage is applied across the electrodes, a current flows through them, creating an electric field. This electric field stores energy and creates a charge separation between the electrodes, allowing the capacitor to store energy. The stored energy can be released when the voltage across the electrodes changes.

The 16SEPF180M aluminum-polymer capacitor is an ideal choice for applications requiring high capacitance in a small form factor. It is designed for long life and reliable performance even in harsh environments. With its low equivalent series resistance and wide operating temperature range, the 16SEPF180M is an excellent choice for automotive and industrial applications.
