Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are among the most widely used components in modern electronics. They have a wide range of operational characteristics and are typically seen in both low- and high-power applications. One such capacitor is the 336SML025MD5, which offers very high levels of capacitance and reliability.

336SML025MD5 Application Field and Working Principle

The 336SML025MD5 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a cylindrical capacitor with a rated voltage of 25V DC, rated capacitance of 4600uF and a maximum ESR of 0.240 Ohm. Its application fields range from industrial, medicla, automotive and aerospace to consumer electronics and power supplies.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors work by storing charge in an oxide film on the surface of the aluminum foil. This film acts as the dielectric of the capacitor, insulated from the surrounding environment by the anode aluminum foil. A cathode material, often referred to as the "electrolyte", is used to complete the electrical circuit. The combination of the two materials forms a linear capacitive element allowing for the storage of electrical energy.

The 336SML025MD5’s oxide-coated aluminum foil construction gives it a high capacitance while maintaining a good amount of stability when exposed to high temperature and humidity. The capacitor is also capable of low-ESR performance, capable of dissipating energy quickly when required. This makes the 336SML025MD5 a great choice for applications such as power supplies and transient filtering.

In addition to its high capacitance and low ESR values, the 336SML025MD5 also offers excellent ripple current and long service life capabilities. Its ripple current rating is 6.395 A, allowing it to handle significantly more inrush current than its smaller siblings. Its long service life rating promises a maximum of 2000 hours at 105 °C, making it suitable for applications that require extended periods of use.

Overall, the 336SML025MD5 is an excellent choice for applications that require very high capacitance and low ESR performance. While not suitable for all applications, its higher rated voltages, capacitance ratings, and maximum ripple currents make it a great option for any system that needs reliable and highly-capacitance performance.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a crucial component in any electronic circuit, and the 336SML025MD5 is no exception. With its high capacitance, low ESR, and long-term durability, it is an excellent choice for applications that require a reliable and highly-capacitance performance.
