381LX271M315J452

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are components of an electronic device used to store energy. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and have the number 381LX271M315J452 stamped on them. These particular capacitors are used in a wide range of applications and are especially suitable for high-frequency applications.

The number 381LX271M315J452 is an indication of the capacitor’s features. The “381” indicates the device’s lowest ESR rating, and the “LX” indicates that it is an axial lead type capacitor. The “271M” indicates the capacitor’s rated voltage, and the “315J” indicates the capacitor’s capacitance.

In principle, aluminum electrolytic capacitors work by using positive and negative electric charges stored in separate plates within the same unit. The positive charge is stored on an anode made of aluminum foil and the negative charge is stored on a cathode made from a thin sheet of aluminum oxide. An electrolyte solution consisting of water, boric acid, and various other salts acts as an electrical conductor and helps store the charge.

The application fields of these capacitors vary depending on the ratings and characteristics of the particular capacitor. Typically, they are used in AC/DC switch mode power supplies, frequency selectors, audio equipment, and signal processors. They are also suitable for use in high-frequency applications, as mentioned above.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors with the number 381LX271M315J452 are reliable, cost-efficient, and highly efficient components that are capable of delivering long-term, high-quality performance in a variety of applications. As such, they are widely used in the electronics industry and can be found in many electronic devices.
