Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

516D109M010RT6AE3 application field and working principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely utilized in a variety of applications such as consumer electronics, lighting, wireless power systems, automotive, and medical devices. The 516D109M010RT6AE3 is one of the most popular models of aluminum electrolytic capacitors with a capacitance of 10μF and an operating voltage of 16V. It is a high quality device with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and good capacitance stability over temperature, making it ideal for a variety of applications.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors consist of anodized aluminum foil, a paper spacer, and electrolytic solution. The anodized aluminum foil acts as the anode, while the electrolytic solution functions as the electrolyte. The paper spacer is used to separate the anode from the electrolyte. A voltage applied across the capacitor causes the aluminum foil to become oxidized, forming a thin layer of aluminum oxide which acts as the dielectric layer. This process increases the capacitance of the capacitor and allows current to flow between the anode and electrolyte.

Application Field

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used in many application fields, such as:

  • Consumer electronics – for power supply filtering, signal processing, and ripple current reduction.
  • Lighting – for power supply filtering and current limit protection.
  • Wireless power systems – for power transfer to enable charging of electronic devices.
  • Automotive – for power supply filtering, signal processing, and ripple current reduction.
  • Medical devices – for power supply filtering and signal level attenuation.

The 516D109M010RT6AE3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an ideal choice for these applications due to its high quality, low ESR, and excellent capacitance stability over a wide temperature range.
