Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The 382LX821M400N052 capacitor is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, which are capacitors that are composed of an anode with a large surface area, a solid electrolyte, and a dielectric material of aluminum oxide. Electrolytic capacitors are used to store electrical energy in a specific system, and are a common component in circuits found in many electronic devices. This article will discuss the application field and working principle of the 382LX821M400N052 capacitor.

Application Field

The 382LX821M400N052 capacitor is designed for high current applications, and is especially useful where high capacitance is not needed. This makes it an ideal choice for power supply systems and in portable electronic products. Its wide temperature range and short set up time also make it well suited for high frequency power supply systems, and it can withstand a maximum peak voltage of up to 400V.

This capacitor also provides a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and has an excellent ability to filter out AC noise. Additionally, it provides excellent damping characteristics, which makes it a good choice for power supplies, electronic automotive systems, solar power inverters, and laptop and desktop computer power supplies.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are known for their high capacitance values, due to their larger anode surface area. This larger surface area allows electrons to move more freely between the anode and the cathode, and creates a large capacitor. The capacitor is filled with a solid electrolyte, which acts as a conductor and allows electrons to move back and forth between the electrons.

The aluminum oxide that forms as a result of the electrolytic process, serves as an insulator and prevents the electrons from recombining at the anode. This allows the capacitor to store electrical energy. The 382LX821M400N052 capacitor is constructed with a radial leaded aluminum electrolyte, which provides better mechanical strength and more reliable electrical performance.

Conclusion

The 382LX821M400N052 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a versatile device that can be used in many applications. Its high current capacity, wide temperature range, low ESR, excellent filtering capabilities, and good damping characteristics make it an ideal choice for power supplies and electronic automotive systems. Furthermore, its solid electrolyte and aluminum oxide insulation provide reliable electrical performance and make it suitable for many different applications.
