36DX403G050CF2A

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are capacitors primarily composed of two aluminum foil plates, with each layer having a thin oxide layer and an electrolyte layer in between. One of the aluminum foil plates is normally called the cathode, and the other is called the anode. The oxide layer on the aluminum foils acts as a dielectric, while the electrolyte layer acts as a conductor.

The 36DX403G050CF2A capacitor is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high frequencies and power applications. Its anode is composed of aluminum foil, with a thin layer of oxide, and a layer of electrolyte in between. It has a rated voltage of 50 volts, a capacitance range of 0.27 uF and 20 uF, a temperature range of -40 to +85 °C, and a capacitance tolerance of ±20%.

Given its high withstand voltage and high frequency capability, the 36DX403G050CF2A capacitor is primarily applicable in power conversion, switch-mode power supplies, and switching circuits, as well as high-frequency circuits and high-voltage circuits. In addition, its small volume and light weight make it ideal for applications where space and weight restrictions are of paramount importance.

In terms of its working principle, the 36DX403G050CF2A capacitor stores energy in the form of an electrostatic field generated between the anode and the cathode. When voltage is applied across the capacitor, its anode and cathode form an electric dipole that creates an electric field between them. This electric field, in turn, attracts ions from the electrolyte layer, forming a layer of ions known as the double layer. This double layer effectively acts as a barrier, blocking most of the current flow, and thus storing electric charge.

The 36DX403G050CF2A capacitor, thanks to its design and capabilities, is suitable for a wide range of applications requiring high capacitance, high operating frequency, and high withstand voltage.
