6.3PX470MEFC6.3X11

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are widely used in a variety of electronic products, especially those that require high capacitance values at low voltage applications. The 6.3PX470MEFC6.3X11 is one such capacitor, and it is mainly used in the industrial, automotive, and military/aerospace fields. The 6.3PX470MEFC6.3X11 capacitor features a high capacitance and low-leakage current design for superior performance in these applications. Additionally, this capacitor is RoHS compliant and comes with a long shelf life.

The 6.3PX470MEFC6.3X11 Capacitor, also known as an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, is a device formed from a thin aluminum oxide film acting as the dielectric, between a series of cylindrical or flattened aluminum electrolyte cells. This arrangement gives the capacitor a small size and low cost, and also makes it a highly effective electrical component. The capacitance is determined by the volume of the electrolyte and the surface area of the electrodes. The electrolytic cell contains two electrical terminals; the anode and the cathode. Both the anode and cathode terminals are connected to the outside circuit.

The 6.3PX470MEFC6.3X11 capacitors are all polarized and usually have a working voltage not exceeding their rated voltage. The voltage is applied in series and due to the applied voltage, a current flows between the anode and the cathode. This current is converted into a potential difference across the capacitor, and thus energy is stored in the form of electric charge. The charge stored in the capacitor forms a capacitive current that can flow in either direction, depending on the applied voltage.

In order for the 6.3PX470MEFC6.3X11 capacitor to operate with maximum efficiency, it must be assembled correctly and its terminals must be properly connected. Additionally, the electrolyte must be kept at a certain temperature and humidity level. The temperature and humidity levels are determined by the manufacturer’s specifications. Failing to follow these guidelines may result in a shorter service life or a complete failure of the capacitor.

Conclusion The 6.3PX470MEFC6.3X11 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is a small device that can offer a great deal of capacitance and low voltage applications. This capacitor is generally used in the industrial, automotive, and military/aerospace fields due to its low leakage current and high capacitance levels. Proper assembly and maintenance of the device is crucial in order to ensure maximum efficiency and a long service life.
