50NW70.1MEFC4X7

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are electronic components composed of two aluminum foils made of aluminum and an electrolyte. These capacitors are the most widely used capacitor type due to their high volumetric capacitance. The part number 50NW70.1MEFC4X7 is one of such aluminium electrolytic capacitors.

Applications of 50NW70.1MEFC4X7

The 50NW70.1MEFC4X7 aluminium electrolytic capacitors are typically used in the DC power supply filter, amplifier power supplies, instrumentation and laboratories. This capacitor is also suitable for noiseless power sources, reaction wheel driving, surge protection, signal coupling and filtering.

It is also used in low power electronic systems such as telephone exchanges, radar systems, video recorders, and computer systems. A particular application is the use of this capacitor type in combination with pulse-radar systems. This capacitor has a long service life due to its high reliability particularly in power supplies for instrumentation and measurements.

Working Principle of 50NW70.1MEFC4X7

Aluminium electrolytic capacitors consist of two aluminium foils with electrolyte in between. The positive electrode is the aluminium foil and the anode is the electrolyte. The structure of the capacitor is very simple and there are no complicated materials used in its construction.

The voltage applied to the terminal of the capacitor will cause electrons to migrate from the electrolyte to the aluminium oxide layer, which forms the dielectric. As the electrons travel through the layer, they will cause a current to flow across the two electrodes. This current, known as the capacitance, will increase with an increase in the applied voltage.

The 50NW70.1MEFC4X7 capacitors are designed to have a low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) which enables them to provide good performance. This capacitor can also be used in low voltage AC applications, as it has a low self-inductance.

Conclusion

The 50NW70.1MEFC4X7 aluminium electrolytic capacitor is a cost-efficient, reliable and long-lived capacitor solution that can be used in a variety of applications, from power supplies for instrumentation and measurements all the way through to noiseless power sources, reaction wheel driving, surge protection, signal coupling and filtering. Its simple structure with two aluminium foils and electrolyte enable it to handle voltages up to 160VAC and temperatures up to 125°C with high reliability.
