50YXF0.47MEFCT15X11

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are one of the most commonly used types of capacitors found in circuits. This type of capacitor consists of aluminum foil or an aluminum anode, which is an electrolyte solution and a cathode which typically consists of paper, plastic, mica or other dielectric material.

The 50YXF0.47MEFCT15X11 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a part of the 50Y series that has a maximum operating temperature of 105°C and is available in various sizes. The capacitance range of this product lineup is from 47uF to 470uF and it is rated to have a voltage of 250V to 450V.

This type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a wide range of applications. It is most often used as a filter, for signal conditioning roles, for powering modems, as a decoupling capacitor, for blocking very high-frequency signals and for boosting the performance of logic circuits by providing a low impedance path to ground.

The working principle of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is simple. A voltage is applied across two conducting surfaces on the capacitor. These conducting surfaces, called the anode and the cathode, are separated by an electrolyte solution acting as the dielectric material. When a voltage is applied across the two conductors, electrons flow from the anode to the cathode, forming an electric field.

The electric field causes a negative charge on the anode and a positive charge on the cathode. This creates a charge separation between the two surfaces, which is called a capacitor effect. This effect is what allows for the capacitor to store energy. As current flows through the capacitor, the electric field between the two conducting surfaces increases, which causes the capacitance of the capacitor to increase.

The 50YXF0.47MEFCT15X11 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is designed to have a high capacity and is made to provide a long service life. The 50Y series has a long-term load life of more than 1,000 hours at 105 degrees Celsius. This ensures a reliable performance even under high temperature conditions. The special winding between the anode and the cathode are designed to reduce the high frequencies causing self-inductance and to increase stability and reliability.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a popular choice among engineers and designers because they are relatively low cost, robust, and offer good performance. These capacitors offer excellent performance in terms of high capacitance, excellent efficiency, good ripple and low equivalent series resistance. The 50YXF0.47MEFCT15X11 capacitor further extends on these advantages, making it an ideal choice for applications such as high frequency switching, power supplies, motor control, electronic lighting, and high-density heaters.
