Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors have become a common form of electrical component in recent years with their many benefits including compact size, high energy density, continuous charge/discharge cycles, and ease of operation. Below, information is provided detailing the application field and working principle of the Specific model ‘382LX182M400N102’

Application Field

The 382LX182M400N102 model is characterized primarily by its long life, which is estimated to be as high as 3000 hours of operation at a nominal temperature of 25°C. It is an ideal choice for use in smoothing and coupling circuits, especially those requiring large capacitance in limited space, as the 382LX182M400N102 boasts high capacitance values in a small package. Additionally, this type of capacitor is suitable for use in DC/DC converters, solar power converters, and energy storage systems. The 382LX182M400N102’s capacity ranges from 1 μF up to 470 μF, with a maximum operating voltage of 400VDC.

Working Principle

The 382LX182M400N102 as an aluminum electrolytic capacitor functions primarily by storing energy in the form of an electrical charge. Essentially, the capacitor acts as a charge storage device with two plates, the anode and the cathode, which are surrounded by a dielectric material such as aluminum oxide. The plates are connected by two electrical leads called lead-outs. The plates consist of a thin layer of conductive material such as aluminum foil, which has had an oxide layer formed on it through an electrolytic process.

When the capacitor is connected to a circuit, electrons travel to the anode where they are stored. As the electric field between the plates is established, a difference in potential energy is created by the electrons stored at the anode. This stored potential energy can be discharged into the circuit when needed, which is the primary purpose of a capacitor.

The 382LX182M400N102’s ability to store charge for extended periods of time makes it an indispensable component for any electronic circuitry, as it can be used to reduce ripple noise on power supplies, delay network response, provide the starting current for motors, and filter out signal components of higher frequency.
