ECE-V1EA220SP

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a type of capacitor which use an electrolytic material that typically utilizes an anode of aluminum foil in conjunction with an oxide layer that acts as the dielectric. These capacitors are particularly suited for use in the electronics industry and are predominately used in voltage regulation, smoothing and filtering applications.

The ECE-V1EA220SP aluminum electrolytic capacitor is one such capacitor that provides these typical applications with excellent performance. This particular capacitor has an impressing capacitance of 220uF which allow it to store large amounts of energy relative to its size. Additionally this capacitor is rated for 6.3V and is designed to operate in a temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius.

The most common application for these types of capacitors is for filtering or smoothing the output voltage of circuits such as a power supply. When an AC input is supplied to the capacitor, the AC voltage does not flow since the capacitor resists quick changes in the voltage. The capacitor is able to store some of the energy from the AC waveform which smoothes or filters out the output waveform which is then supplied to the load. This is known as voltage regulation.

In addition to voltage regulation, these types of capacitors can be used for a variety of other applications such as signal conditioning, power line energy storage, spike suppression, and as starting capacitors for single-phase electric motors, among others.

When it comes to construction, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is in a cylindrical shape with a case diameter of 10 millimeters and an overall length of 20 millimeters. Core components of this capacitor include the cathode, formed by aluminum foil, and the dielectric, made from an oxide layer. The anode is placed against the oxide dielectric and a spacer is held in place with a special pressure-sensitive adhesive. Additionally, around the outside of the arrangement, a rolled-metal sleeve forms the container.

To sum up, the ECE-V1EA220SP aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a great option for applications requiring an efficient and reliable voltage regulation. Its high capacitance makes it suitable for energy storage and power line applications, while its rugged construction makes it an ideal choice for singled phase electric motor applications.
