ECA-1VM470I

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors (AECs) have been an integral part of modern electronics for decades. AECs are most commonly used in voltage conversion, signal coupling, and energy storage. The ECA-1VM470I is a specialized AEC designed to operate in various harsh environments, including temperature extremes, humidity, shock, and vibration.

The ECA-1VM470I is a robust and reliable capacitor providing high performance and long life, with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C. It can withstand a surge voltage of up to 600V and has a capacitance range of 1.2 µF - 18 µF. The ECA-1VM470I has a leakage current of only 0.5 mA and is compliant with the RoHS directive.

The working principle of ECA-1VM470I is based on Farady’s laws of electrolysis. It uses aluminium foil and electrolyte (capacitor fluid) to create a conductive film on the porous aluminium plates. When the ECA-1VM470I is energized, the electrolyte breaks down and the conductive film on the plates is formed. The formation of this film creates a dielectric material between the plates which has a higher permittivity than that of air, thus creating an electric field between the plates. This electric field causes a charge to be stored on the plates, thereby creating a capacitor.

The ECA-1VM470I has many applications including power supplies, electrical circuits, automotive electronics, and various industrial applications. It is a reliable, cost-effective, and long-lasting capacitor that provides consistent performance even in extreme environments.

All in all, the ECA-1VM470I is a reliable and robust aluminium electrolytic capacitor with a long life and excellent performance in harsh environments. It is suitable for various applications and is compliant with the RoHS directive.
