EEE-FC1V6R8AR

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors come in a variety of sizes, shapes and constructions. The EEE-FC1V6R8AR model is a fixed aluminium electrolytic capacitor with a snap-in mounting type, allowing for very easy installation and replacement. This aluminum electrolytic capacitor is configurable with a snap-in threaded bush that accepts M3 screws and solder for connection. The positive and negative terminals of the capacitor are clearly marked on the case to ensure correct polarity.

Application Field

The EEE-FC1V6R8AR is available in a variety of capacitance levels and voltage ratings, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. It is suitable for use in power supplies, inverters, switchgear, lighting, power factor correction, UPS systems and battery backup systems. In consumer electronics, it is often used in devices such as personal computers, audio equipment, amplifiers, monitors, digital cameras, video cameras and similar devices. Because of its high reliability, it is common in automotive and military applications where failure is not an option.

Working Principle

The aluminum electrolytic capacitors use a liquid electrolyte to form a double-layer dielectric. In its simplest form, there is a metal plate that is coated with an oxide layer on one side. The other side is immersed in a liquid electrolyte, which is usually a combination of an organic solvent and water. When voltage is applied to the metal plate, ions from the electrolyte flow onto the oxide layer, forming a dielectric between the two plates. This construction makes them much more efficient than many other types of capacitors, allowing for much larger capacitance levels.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors can apply a capacitance range of 1uF to 10uF, depending on the model. The rated voltage ranges from 6V to 400V. It is important to match the correct capacitor to the voltage and current requirements of the application. Exceeding the rated values will most likely cause the capacitor to fail. If the capacitor is exposed to high temperatures, the electrolyte will evaporate, causing the capacitor to permanently lose its capacitance.

The EEE-FC1V6R8AR is also available in an axial lead and radial lead option in various sizes and voltage ratings. They provide excellent performance for power electronic circuitry, and are often employed in filtering and decoupling applications. They are also ideal for environments where space is a concern, as their form factor is significantly smaller than other types of capacitors.

Conclusion

The EEE-FC1V6R8AR aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an excellent choice for a wide variety of applications. Its snap-in mounting type, wide capacitance and voltage range, and compact form factor make it a popular choice for many applications. As with any capacitor, it is important to follow the manufacturer\'s specifications and guidelines when using this type of capacitor to ensure the highest performance and reliability.
