16YXA4700MEFC16X25

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors (AECs) are electrochemical capacitors that perform many functions in different fields and applications. They are typically used in power circuits, communications, cameras, motor control, and other applications and have many benefits to offer.

The 16YXA4700MEFC16X25 aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a ripple current rating of 3.3mA, a capacitance rating of 4.7mF, and a rated voltage of 16V. These specifications make it an ideal solution for various applications, such as those avionics, medical, energy management, motor drives, and lighting control systems.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors use a special process of immersing aluminum foil in electrolytic solution. This causes an electrolytic film to form on the surface, creating a very thin dielectric layer that allows for the passing of current. The process of electrolyte storing and formation of an oxide layer on the foil determines capacitance value, available voltage rating, temperature range, leakage current, and other related parameters of AECs.

The 16YXA4700MEFC16X25 is different from other aluminum electrolytic capacitors because it uses a multilayer stacked version of aluminum oxide layer for higher precision and higher reliability. This allows the capacitor to have a higher ripple current rating of 3.3mA, a higher capacitance rating of 4.7mF, and a higher rated voltage of 16V.
