Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, often referred to as “electrolytics”, are capacitors which use an electrolyte to achieve a larger capacitance than other capacitor types. There are two types of electrolytic capacitors: Polarized and non-polarized.

25YXG470MEFC10X16 Application Field and Working Principle

The 25YXG470MEFC10X16 is an electrolytic capacitor from Rubycon Corporation. It is an Extended Life Polarized Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, which can operate at temperatures up to 105°C and has an extended life rating of 2000 hours. It has a rated voltage of 16V and a capacitance of 470µF.

This capacitor is designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications such as audio amplifiers, power supplies, and other audio and video applications. It is a long-life, high-temperature electrolytic capacitor and is capable of withstanding temperatures up to 105°C and has a maximum ripple current rating of 108 mA.

The 25YXG470MEFC10X16 is a polarized capacitor, which means that it must be wired in a specific way in order to achieve the desired performance. The capacitor has a positive terminal and a negative terminal, and it must be wired in a specific way in order for its characteristics to be optimized. The positive terminal must be connected to the higher voltage end of the circuit, and the negative terminal must be connected to the lower voltage end of the circuit.

The working principle of the 25YXG470MEFC10X16 is based on the electrolytic process. This process involves combining an electrolyte with a porous material. When a voltage is applied across the terminals, the electrolyte ions flow between the electrodes and build up electric charge, thus creating a capacitance. This capacitance is then used to store and filter electric current in circuits.

The extended life rating of the 25YXG470MEFC10X16 is achieved through Rubycon\'s proprietary electrolyte formula, which helps to reduce the formation of a solid electrolyte film, which can lead to internal leakage and increased dielectric loss. It is also designed with a zinc-coated metal case, which is designed to increase heat dissipation and reduce the risk of thermal runaway.

In conclusion, the 25YXG470MEFC10X16 is a long-life, high-temperature electrolytic capacitor that is designed for use in a wide range of electronic applications. It has a maximum ripple current rating of 108 mA and a temperature rating of 105°C, making it an ideal choice for audio and video applications. The capacitor is polarized and must be wired in a specific way in order to achieve the desired performance. The working principle of the capacitor is based on the electrolytic process, which involves combining an electrolyte with a porous material. Finally, the extended life rating of the capacitor is achieved through Rubycon\'s proprietary electrolyte formula.
