ALS71A242KE350

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors provide the largest capacitance values per unit volume of all capacitor types. The ALS71A242KE350 is a radial, leaded 85°C aluminum electrolytic capacitor with non-solid electrolyte. It provides a very high capacitance to volume ratio and excellent AC characteristics. It is suitable for many demanding applications due to its high temperature performance and high ripple current ratings.

The ALS71A242KE350 is designed to have a wide application field. It is suitable for power supplies, snubber and energy-storage circuits, power decoupling and filtering, and signal bypassing for computer and industrial applications.

The ALS71A242KE350 has a solid construction with aluminum foil and liquid electrolyte. The aluminum foil is insulated with polyester, temperature-resistant paper, and then rolled up spirally to form a cylindrical capacitor body. The liquid electrolyte serves as the dielectric layer between the two aluminum foils and helps to keep the capacitor in good condition.

The working principle of the ALS71A242KE350 is simple. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the electrons from the negative terminal migrate to the positive terminal and then back. This change in the charge density creates an electric field between the plates. This electric field stores energy and can be used to drive currents in a circuit. The capacitance is determined by the area of the plates, the thickness of the polyester insulation, and the distance between the plates.

The ALS71A242KE350 has excellent features such as low ESR, high ripple current rating, long-term stability, and high-temperature performance. It is designed to provide reliable performance even in harsh environments such as high vibration and shock, long-term operation, and high temperature applications. It is also available in a variety of capacitance values and voltage ratings to meet user needs.

In conclusion, the ALS71A242KE350 belongs to the Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor family. It provides high capacitance to volume ratio and excellent AC characteristics. Its wide application field and high temperature performance makes it suitable for many demanding applications. It also has features of low ESR, high ripple current rating, long-term stability, and high-temperature performance.
