B41505A8338M002

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are a type of capacitors which use an electrolyte to store energy while producing a large capacitance value in a very small unit size. The B41505A8338M002 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a capacitance of 8.3μF. It is made of an aluminum shell and a cathode foil and is designed for high voltage and both AC and DC applications. It can handle a temperature range of -25℃ to +85℃ and also features a surge voltage of 1.25 times the rated voltage.

In order to function, aluminum electrolytic capacitors use a chemical process to create an electrical field between two conductors. One conductor is made of aluminum foil and the other is a largely porous material, often paper. This is known as a “wet” process as the electrolyte solution is forced between the two conductors and forms a “wet” dielectric between them.

The electrolyte solution in this capacitor is sulfide. When voltage is applied across the capacitor, a current passes through electrolyte solution and certain chemical reactions occur on the surface of the aluminum electrode. This creates and stores charges which are then used to power DC or AC applications. Due to the nature of the chemical process, aluminum electrolytic capacitors have a higher capacitance value per unit size than any other capacitor type.

The B41505A8338M002 aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a range of applications, from power supplies to DC-DC converters, from monitors to AC motors and compressors. Thanks to its high capacitance value, even in small units, it is also common in high frequency applications such as audio equipment and medical equipment. Since it can handle a wide temperature range and surge voltages, it is also popular in automotive and military applications.

Overall, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used in a vast range of applications thanks to the fact that they can produce large capacitance values in very small unit sizes. The B41505A8338M002 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a good example of this, and can be used for both low and high voltage applications in a wide range of industries.
