16ZLJ120MT15X11

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are electrical components composed of an electrolyte and two electrodes, with the anode being an aluminum foils coated with an oxide layer (called the dielectric). The electrolyte creates a capacitance across the two electrodes, allowing a charge to pass when a voltage is applied.

The 16ZLJ120MT15X11 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor made by Taiwan-based Lelon Electronics Corporation. It has an operating temperature range of -40 oC to +105 oC and is suitable for general electronic applications. It has a capacitance of 120 μF and a rated voltage rating of 16 VDC.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have a wide range of uses in electronics and electrical engineering fields. In circuitry with DC voltage, they are used as power supply filters, DC-DC converters, voltage regulation circuits, and other power supply related applications.

In high power supplies, these capacitors can also be used to reduce switching noise. As the capacitor absorbs the electronic pulses from the switching elements, the noise is dissipated harmlessly across the capacitor. This allows high power supplies to operate more quietly.

The 16ZLJ120MT15X11 is well-suited for these and other applications. Its low ESR and high ripple current rating make it ideal for filtering applications. It can also be used to reduce the resonant losses over the frequency range of its operating range. The capacitor\'s robust construction also makes it suited for high-temperature applications.

The basic working principle of any aluminum electrolytic capacitor is simple. When DC voltage is applied, the anodic oxide film provides a dielectric barrier between the two electrodes, resulting in a capacitance between them. When an alternating current is applied, the capacitance varies with the frequency, resulting in a varying electrical field and thus varying capacitance.

The 16ZLJ120MT15X11 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a reliable, long-lasting component that can be used in a wide range of electronic applications. Its robust construction and high capacitance make it suitable for many power supply and filtering applications. With its low ESR and high ripple current rating, it is ideal for reducing switching noise in high power supplies and also help reduce resonant losses over frequency ranges.
