Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are electrical components responsible for a range of specific operations, from reacting quickly to prevent the failure of polarity to regulating the current supply of devices and circuits. Electrolytic capacitors are mainly used in DC applications, although they can also be used in some alternating current (AC) applications. Among electrolytic capacitors, the EEV-FK1K331M stands out for its characteristics and efficiency in many areas.

About the EEV-FK1K331M Capacitor

The EEV-FK1K331M is a surface-mounted aluminum electrolytic capacitor manufactured with a special electrolyte and developed to meet the most demanding requirements of different fields such as medical equipment, DC to AC converters, power supplies, and domestic appliances.

The EEV-FK1K331M has been designed with five different types of capacitance. Its capacitance starts from 1uF and goes up to 3300uF, with different voltage ratings that include 4, 6.3, 10, 16, 25, 40 and 50V. This capacitance and voltage ratings effectively classify EEV-FK1K331M as a “super capacitor”, as it surpasses other models in voltage and capacity.

Moreover, the EEV-FK1K331M has a long lifespan, withstanding a life-cycle of up to 2000 hours, and a rage of temperature of 20ºC to +105ºC. It also refers to a series of standards on safety, such as those referred to by the RoHS and REACH 3.2 in European Union, or ENEC in the rest of the world.

Applications of EEV-FK1K331M Capacitors

The EEV-FK1K331M version is one of the more versatile and common types of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. It is typically used in a wide range of high-power applications in fields such as the industrial and the domestic.

In the industrial field, the widespread use of EEV-FK1K331M is related to motors, generators, air conditioners, and other high-power applications. It be can also be used as a replacement for equivalent versions in arduous working conditions, as this type of capacitor demonstrates great tolerance to high temperatures and dust, as well as mechanical vibration.

In the domestic, electronic field, this type of capacitor is used in laptop and desktop PCs, LED lights, solar panels, or even in appliances and consumer electronics such as TVs, DVD players, and others. The extended lifespan of this capacitor and the low leakage current makes it an ideal choice for consumer electronics products.

EEV-FK1K331M Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor Working Principle

The working principle of the EEV-FK1K331M aluminum electrolytic capacitor is explained by most manufacturers as a quasi-mechanical overlap of two metal surfaces covered in a polar liquid. In one surface, the anode is located and in the other, the cathode. When connected to an electric circuit, the current starts running through the capacitor, thus creating a dielectric field between the anode and cathode.

The most common type of capacitor is the electrolytic-type, which has a unique liquid-coated working principle. This feature is called the “dielectric constant”, which is the capacity of a material to permit the passage of electricity from one surface to the other. The lower the resistance of the dielectric, the higher the capacitance.

The EEV-FK1K331M also features a “bleed line”, which is responsible for allowing a slow, controlled secretion of the electrolyte and the subsequent formation of a solid dielectric film between the anode and cathode.

Conclusion

The EEV-FK1K3311 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is one of the most popular and versatile types of capacitors in the industrial and domestic market. It offers ample capacity, extended life and excellent safety, while functioning in accordance with a quasi-mechanical overlap of anolyte and catholyte in a polar liquid. It is a fitting choice for many purposes, including appliances, LED lights and solar panels.
