EEU-FC1V471

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an electronic component used in industrial and consumer electronics. It consists of two metallic plates, one being an aluminum foil with an etched surface that act as electrodes, and the other a paper with a thin film of insulating material. The aluminum foil is saturated with an electrolyte solution, which enables the conduction of electricity. Generally, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used for applications such as low- and high-frequency filtering, voltage regulation, and for electrical power management.

EEU-FC1V471 Application Field and Working Principle

The EEU-FC1V471 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, manufactured by Nichicon Co. Ltd. It is a polarized type low-ESR capacitor, which is suitable for use in DC-link applications and other commercial applications. It is mainly used for power-line noise reduction and to store electrical energy at various voltage levels.

The EEU-FC1V471 has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, a capacitance range of 100μF to 10000μF, and a voltage rating of 250Vdc. It also has a high current capability and low-ESR performance. In addition, it has a sealed construction with a screw terminal for easy mounting, and is RoHS compliant.

The working principle of the EEU-FC1V471 is based on the electrochemical action between an electrolyte and two metal plates covered with a dielectric material. The electrolyte acts as a conductor between the two electrodes, allowing electrons to flow through the dielectric material. The dielectric material acts as an insulator, preventing current from leaking or discharging in between the two electrodes. As current passes through the electrolytic body, it causes a reaction between the electrolyte and electrodes, creating the electric charges necessary to store energy.

The EEU-FC1V471 has a wide range of applications due to its features. It is ideal for switch-mode power supplies and DC-link capacitors, as well as filtering, rectification, and general energy storage applications.

The EEU-FC1V471 is an ideal choice for applications where low-ESR, high current capability and compact size are required. It is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a wide range of industrial and consumer applications.
