EEE-TK1C102AM Capacitors

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are widely used in the electronics industry by providing storage of electrical energy from a DC power source. They are often used as “buffer” components – providing short, temporary and relatively large current when required by the system. In this context, the term electrolytic is usually referring to the use of aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) as the dielectric. The EEE-TK1C series is one of the most commonly used capacitor types in aluminum electrolytic one. In this article we will discuss the application field and working principle of EEE-TK1C102AM.

Application Field

EEE-TK1C102AM are suitable for a variety of electronic and electrical applications, where capacitance and low equivalent series resistance (ESR) are required. Due to their high reliability, they are frequently used in critical power supplies and specialized power conditioning applications, such as voltage regulators, switching converters and electronic ballasts. EEE-TK1C102AM are also used in telecommunications and automotive applications, where stability and reliability are key requirements. They are particularly suited for DC-DC converter applications and where high ripple current and high stability is required.

Working Principle

EEE-TK1C102AM consist of an aluminum foil cathode and an anode made of metal oxide (Al2O3). The anode is etched in order to increase the surface area and enable the required high capacitance values. This metal oxide acts as the dielectric which helps maintain the charge separation between the metal electrodes. A wide range of capacitance values is available ( typically 10 -100 µF), to suit the particular application needs. The capacitance value is determined by the amount of etching visible in the anode.

When energy is applied to the capacitor, a thin film of aluminum oxide forms on the surface of the anode and effectively isolates it from the electrolyte. In this manner, the stored energy can be stored for a long time without any changes in the capacitance or performance. Zinc (Zn) is used as the electrolyte, which helps ensure the long service lifecycle of the product. Under normal operating conditions, the capacitor can withstand up to 105°C. This temperature value is higher than many other Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, which demonstrates the functional robustness of EEE-TK1C102AM.

Conclusion

EEE-TK1C102AM is a popular type of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor. It is designed for a variety of electrical applications and its construction makes it suitable for providing high levels of reliability and stability. The high temperature capability of EEE-TK1C102AM ensures that the capacitor is highly reliable and safe for use in a number of electronic systems.
