Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors have been widely used in the modern day and become utilitarian items, especially with the rise of consumer electronics. From toys to modern day appliances like washer and microwave, almost every electronic device has one or more electrolytic capacitors built into its operating system. The 380LX221M500A042 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is one such product from the family.

This aluminum electrolytic capacitor possesses two terminals − one positive and one negative, held inside metalized polyester film. Its anode is made up of aluminum foil, where the oxide-coated surface is treated as an insulation barrier for ion flow. Its cathode is made up of etched metal-plated onto a metal disc for contact. The capacitor’s dielectric is made up of an electrolyte − mostly composed of boric acid. Additionally, this particular capacitor is also ‘Low Leakage’ due its hermetically sealed and totally unidirectional nature.

The overall capacitance of this 380LX221M500A042 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is 221 μF at the rated voltage of 25 VDC. It has a Capacitance Tolerance percentage comprising of ±20%. This product’s physical dimensions include a diameter of 8mm and a length of 10mm. Its Vertical Operating Temperature ranges from -55°C to +85°C for 35mm Rated Voltage, while the Horizontal Operating Temperature lies between -55°C to +85°C for 10mm Rated Voltage.

It is due to all the above-mentioned reasons that this 380LX221M500A042 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor finds its application in almost all kinds of electronic devices. Its working principle is simple and is based on Faraday’s Law, which proposes that “the capacitance of the capacitor is directly proportional to the surface area of the electrodes which is inversely proportional to the distance between them”.

This law is further explained by the mathematical equation given below:C=εA/d, where C is the capacitance; ε is the permittivity of the medium; A is the area of the electrodes, and d is the distance between the electrodes.

Capacitance is generally measured in terms of Farad. One Farad corresponds to a charge of one Coulomb of electrons in one volt of voltage across the capacitor. Therefore, it can be said that it is the capacitance or the Farads of the capacitor that make it possible for electronic storage of electrons and enable the capacitor to act like a battery. This phenomenon allows the capacitor to store electrical energy and further discharge it when requested.

The 380LX221M500A042 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is designed to store and discharge current when required, helping to facilitate various processes that aid in the functioning of a variety of electronic devices. Its application fields generally include control circuits, stabilizers, and switches for Telecommunications, Computers, and other consumer electronics, Regulated power supplies, artificial organs, audio-visual equipment, and HIFI systems, among a few.
