16ZLG56MEFCT15X11

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors is an essential componentFound in many high-performance electronic devices. Its small size, low cost, high efficiency and stability under varying temperatures and high voltage make aluminum electrolytic capacitors especially suitable for specialized applications.

The 16ZLG56MEFCT15X11 is a part number of a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor. These capacitors are available in a wide range of sizes, voltages and capacitances. The 16ZLG56MEFCT15X11 has a size of 16mm x 36mm, a rated voltage of 250V, and capacitance of 56μF. It is primarily used for high voltage and high ripple current applications in consumer and industrial equipment.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are constructed of two aluminum foils, each coated with an oxide layer. One of the foils acts as the anode and is wound into a spool, while the other foil acts as the cathode. In between them is a separator which is soaked with the electrolyte. The foils and separator are usually wound up together, creating a cylindrical form factor.

The working principle of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is based on the Faraday’s law of electrolysis. The current passing through the capacitor creates a potential difference between the two foils, resulting in a charge density imbalance between them. This charge imbalance causes negative ions to accumulate on one side of the capacitor, resulting in a potential gradient. This gradient, in turn, allows the capacitor to store electrical energy.

Overall, the 16ZLG56MEFCT15X11 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a relatively small and inexpensive component, yet it is highly efficient at storing electrical energy. Its small size and low cost make it attractive for consumer devices, yet its stability and high voltage rating make it suitable for industrial applications as well.
