400TXW39MEFR10X40

Aluminum electrolytic capacitor, also known as Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor (AEC), is a type of capacitor used in electronic circuits. It has two terminals on either side — the positive terminal called the anode and the negative terminal called the cathode. The capacitor is filled with a liquid electrolyte which stores the charge. In between these two terminals is a thin, non-conductive layer, called the dielectric material. This layer allows electricity to flow through the capacitor, however, it can prevent it from flowing in the opposite direction.

The 400TXW39MEFR10X40 capacitor is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a capacity of 39 microfarads (µF) and a maximum rated voltage of 10 volts. The life expectancy of this special type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor is 10.000 hours at a rated voltage of 10 volts. This capacitor is used in electronic circuits to store an electric charge in a short amount of time. They are used in applications such as power supplies, audio amplification, diode clamps, and resonant circuits where a low leakage current is required.

A 400TXW39MEFR10X40 capacitor typically consists of three parts: an anode, a cathode, and a dielectric material. The anode and cathode are typically made of aluminum foil. Between the two layers of foil is the dielectric material, this can consist of different types of materials such as paper, plastic, paper-plastic, or ceramic. The electrolyte between the two oppositely charged layers serves as the medium that allows the electric charge to flow through the capacitor.

The working principle of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is quite simple. The voltage applied to the capacitor causes an electric current to flow from the anode to the cathode. Upon reaching the cathode, the current creates a reaction in the electrolyte solution, this then generates a counter-charge. This counter-charge is balanced against the voltage, and the capacitor now stores a charge. When the voltage is removed, the current flow from the capacitor is reduced and the capacitor slowly discharges.

The 400TXW39MEFR10X40 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is ideal for use in applications that require higher capacitance values or in applications that require greater temperature stability. This type of capacitor is well-suited for use in data acquisition systems, power supplies, as well as many other applications. It is important to remember that to ensure the highest levels of performance and reliability from this device, it must be properly matched to the application’s circuit requirements.

In conclusion, the 400TXW39MEFR10X40 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a reliable and cost-effective solution for many electronic applications. Its unique combination of high capacitance values, excellent temperature stability, and low leakage current makes it an ideal choice for many circuit designs.
