Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are one of the main types of capacitors used in a variety of electrical and electronic applications. The 383LX123M100N082 model is an example of such type of capacitors, with a wide range of specified ratings and versatile performance characteristics. This article provides a brief overview of the application fields and working principles of this type of capacitor.

Application Fields

Since its introduction in the 1950s, aluminum electrolytic capacitors have become indispensable elements in many electrical and electronic circuits. Some of their common application examples include, but are not limited to, signal coupling and decoupling, power supply filtering, audio frequency bypassing, and DC blocking. Additionally, they are used in switch-mode power supply, professional audio equipment, and voltage stabilizers. The 383LX123M100N082 model is specifically designed for high frequency applications such as HVAC, telecommunications and IT equipment.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are passive electronic components that mainly consist of an aluminum oxide film and an electrolyte. The oxide film acts as a dielectric, while the electrolyte serves as a conductor. To form the capacitor, two aluminum foils are kept apart, forming the two capacitor plates. The electrolyte is then added to the foil in order to form an electrical connection. Using this process, capacitors with capacitances up to several hundred micro-farads are created.For the 383LX123M100N082, the capacitance is measured with a capacitance meter, and is rated at 123 µF. The voltage rating is at 100V and the maximum ripple current is rated at 4.032 A.

Conclusion

The 383LX123M100N082 is a model of aluminum electrolytic capacitor, typically used in high frequency applications such as HVAC and telecommunications. It is a passive component consisting of two aluminium foils separated by an oxide film, and an electrolyte to form the electrical connection. Capacitance is measured at 123 µF, and the voltage rating of 100 V and a maximum ripple current of 4.032 A are specified.
