Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are one of the most common types of capacitors used today. They are used in a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to power supplies, and from telecommunication systems to industrial automation systems. The 865250340001 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a capacitance of 2.4 microfarads and a tolerance of 20%.

Application Field

The 865250340001 is a popular capacitor for general purpose uses. It can be found in practically all kinds of automotive, audio, and other electronics. It is ideal for use in filtering, coupling, decoupling, and polarization applications. Due to its wide temperature operating range, it can be used in temperature critical situations as well.

It is also used in switching power supplies, LED lighting systems, and is popular among hobbyists for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other hobby projects. Even though it has a low voltage rating of only 450 volts, it can still be used in many low-voltage applications in which low ESR is important.

Working Principle

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor has two plates: a dielectric material, usually either aluminum or tantalum, and an electrolyte. When voltage is applied, positive charges are drawn to the anode or positive side of the capacitor and negative charges are attracted to the cathode or negative side. This creates a potential difference between the two sides, and the capacitor begins to store electric charge.

When power is disconnected, the capacitor continues to hold the stored charge until it is completely discharged. But, over time, the capacitor\'s ability to hold an electric charge decreases due to an oxidation process known as leakage. This is why aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not recommended for long-term storage of energy.

Conclusion

The 865250340001 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a versatile component that can be used in a variety of applications. It has a low voltage rating of 450 volts, but it can still be used in many low-voltage applications in which low ESR is important. Its low cost and wide temperature operating range make it a popular choice for general-purpose use.
