6SEPC470MX

Aluminum - Polymer capacitors are a family of high-performance and high-density capacitors that has recently been gaining in popularity due to its unique design and ability to withstand extreme operating conditions. The 6SEPC470MX application field and working principle falls within this subcategory of capacitors, and thus can provide exceptional performance and resistance to ambient conditions.A 6SEPC470MX Aluminum - Polymer capacitor is crafted from two layers of anodized aluminum foil separated by a conductive or non-conductive polymer film. The polymer film can be either a single-sided or double-sided, although double-sided is the most common. This structure results in a capacitor with a comparatively low ESR (equivalent series resistance) and ESL (equivalent series inductance), as well as a low dissipation factor, which enables operating temperatures up to 125°C with minimal degradation of performance.The unique structure of the 6SEPC470MX also allows for high current-handling capacity. The two aluminum foils conduct the current, while the polymer film prevents any potential charge build up, so current flows freely and efficiently while dissipating heat at the same time. This is critical for certain applications like decoupling, bypassing, sinusoidal filter networks, smoothing, as well as DC to DC regulators and converters, among others.The 6SEPC470MX also features a wide capacitance range, ranging between 10µF and 470µF with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) values from 0.003 ohms to 0.05 ohms. This wide range ensures that its use is not limited to any single field, but extends to a variety of applications, both in the automotive and general electronics industries. In particular, the 6SEPC470MX is often used for power supplies, signal conditioning applications, and even as protection devices for power supplies and microcontrollers.Finally, the 6SEPC470MX is designed with a long lifespan in mind. As such, it is highly resistant to shock and vibrations, offers extended stable temperature characteristics, and has an insulation resistance of over 100 Megohms. Added to this is its ability to function at a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 125°C, making it an ideal choice for outdoor applications.In summary, the 6SEPC470MX capacitors family provides excellent performance and resistance to ambient conditions, has wide capacitance ranges and low ESR values, and offers long lifespans with strong insulation properties. These properties make it the go-to option for high-performance and high-density applications, from automotive and general electronics to power supplies and signal conditioning.
