381LX222M050K202

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are electrochemical components made of an anode aluminum foil, a separator impregnated with an electrolyte, and a non-solid electrolytic cathode. The 381LX222M050K202 is classified as an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. It is primarily used for its ability to store large amounts of electrical charge, known as capacitance.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in the electronics industry due to their high capacitance values, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), good ripple current ratings, long lifetimes, and other features.

381LX222M050K202 is a Non-Polarity electrolytic capacitor. The 381LX222M050K202 is a radial leaded device coated with a black dielectric shell. Non-polarity means that the capacitor has no internal polarity and the leads can be swapped with no effect on the performance. This feature is especially useful in applications where the leads of the component can be easily urged or swapped.

A capacitor’s application field and working principle are primarily based on its behavior when subjected to an applied voltage. Without getting into too much detail, when a voltage or current passes through a capacitor, an electrostatic field is created within the component and charges begin to accumulate. These charges present polarization effects on the component, causing capacitance to increase. This increase in capacitance is what allows aluminum electrolytic capacitors to store electrical charge.

381LX222M050K202 is typically used in high power rectifier circuits, filtering circuits, and where high capacitance and high dissipation are needed. The 381LX222M050K202 is typically used in systems such as automotive, avionics, and industrial controls. Due to its low cost and reliability, it is also favored in consumer electronic products.

The 381LX222M050K202 can also be used in power factor correction, to optimize system power usage and reduce overall cost. Its capacitance of 222mF and low ESR of 30 mohms at 100kHz, make it suitable for a variety of applications. In addition, its 105°C maximum operating temperature allows for extended periods of operation and ensures that the device is safe from thermal failure, hence its wide use in power factor correction.

In conclusion, the 381LX222M050K202 is an example of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor and is typically used in high power applications. Its low cost, reliability, and long lifetime have enabled it to be used in a variety of applications, from automotive and avionics to industrial automation and consumer electronics.
