380LX102M180J052

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits as a component for storing electrical energy. They are typically formed of a lightweight, low-cost aluminum foil that is anodized and rolled up into a spiral, creating an electrolyte-filled inner layer on one side, which becomes the dielectric, and a second electrode on the other side, which is usually connected to ground. Of all capacitor types, aluminum electrolytic capacitors offer the highest levels of efficiency, and are well-suited for high power applications.

The 380LX102M180J052 is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor that finds use in many applications. At a glance, this type of capacitor can be identified by its round polyester case, along with a number of useful parameters such as its maximum voltage rating of up to 380 volts, temperature range of -25°C to +85°C, and capacitance of up to 1.8µF. This versatile design makes it suitable for a wide range of electronic applications, from small audio applications to RF and power electronics.

The 380LX102M180J052 is highly reliable, offering a long service life under normal operating conditions. It features high voltage tolerance and can withstand up to 15,000 volts reverse voltage. The capacitor’s dielectric insulation layer is non-polarized, meaning it is suitable for use in the most demanding circuits. The capacitor has a maximum ripple current of 600mA, allowing it to handle large current spikes with ease.

The working principle of the 380LX102M180J052 is fairly basic. When a voltage is applied to its terminals, a current is driven through the electrolyte in the capacitor, creating a potential difference between its two electrodes. This potential difference is stored in the form of an electrical field which can later be discharged back into the circuit.

The aluminum electrolytic capacitor is one of the most commonly used components in electronic circuits, and the 380LX102M180J052 is a great example of a reliable and efficient capacitor for a number of different applications. Its versatile design and high voltage tolerance make it suitable for a range of audio, RF and power circuit designs, while its non-polarized dielectric layer ensures reliable performance under high voltage conditions.
