380LQ821M250H052

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, also known as an Al-Electrolytic, are the most widely used type of capacitor due to their size, energy storage capabilities, and cost. The 380LQ821M250H052 is one type of Al-Electrolytic capacitor used in various applications and is a great choice for a variety of electrical and electronic needs.Application FieldThe 380LQ821M250H052 is a radial, aluminum electrolytic capacitor, which means that its cylindrical body is wrapped with a layer of insulated aluminum foil and it has two leads protruding from the body. This type of capacitor has a wide range of applications and is suitable for a variety of high-frequency circuits. Due to its low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high operating temperature, it can be used in high-frequency rectifiers, power supply decouplers, and voltage stabilization circuits. The 380LQ821M250H052 also has low impedance, high surge withstanding ability, good damping characteristics, low leakage current, low temperature rise, and a long lifespan.Working PrincipleThe 380LQ821M250H052 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, which means that its working principle is based on the movement of electrical charges between two dissimilar metals. This movement of electrical charges is enabled by an electrolyte solution. This capacitor has two electrodes connected to the capacitor’s cathode and anode, which is separated by a thin separator.When the capacitor is energized, electrical charges are drawn from the cathode to the anode and the electrolyte solution acts as an electrolyte to move these charges. As the charges move through the electrolyte, a current is generated, which allows the capacitor to store and release energy. This stored energy is called capacitance, and it is measured in Farads or Volts/Second.The 380LQ821M250H052 has a capacitance of 8.21 uF, a maximum continuous working voltage of 16V, and a maximum initial leakage current of 0.125 mA. These characteristics make it well suited for high frequency rectification and power supply decoupling applications.ConclusionThe 380LQ821M250H052 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a great choice for a variety of electrical and electronic needs. It has low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high operating temperature. It also has low impedance, high surge withstanding ability, good damping characteristics, low leakage current, low temperature rise, and a long lifespan. It is suitable for high frequency rectification and power supply decoupling applications.
