Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are commonly used passive electronic components, found in an array of devices from televisions to vehicles. The EGXE101ETD470MJ16S Capacitor is a polarized device. The body is cylindrical and small, and is available in ratings from 2.5V to 50V. This guide covers the application fields and working principle of the EGXE101ETD470MJ16S Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor.

Application Fields

The EGXE101ETD470MJ16S Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is a multipurpose capacitor, utilized widely in many types of devices. Its most common use is as a timing capacitor. Such applications include delay lines, timing circuits, pulse circuits, and oscillators among others. It is excellent for coupling between stages of amplifiers, as well as for radio frequency (RF) communication circuits. Additionally, the EGXE101ETD470MJ16S Capacitor is used to store energy, as it can quickly charge and discharge. It is used this way in power supplies as well as low-frequency filtering.

Working Principle of EGXE101ETD470MJ16S Capacitor

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are created with two metal plates and an electrolyte. One of the plates is made of Aluminium and acts as the anode while the other is made of metal and acts as the cathode. The two plates are separated by an insulator, typically paper soaked in electrolyte. The electrolyte can either be an oil or a liquid form that fully or partially saturated the paper, depending on the application. When power is applied to the plates, a thin layer of oxide forms over the Aluminium, creating a working capacitor.

Because of the high surface area of the Aluminium anode, these capacitors can store large amounts of charge, ranging from 63.5 to 357,000uF (microfarads). The EGXE101ETD470MJ16S Capacitor can charge up to 90% of its capacity in 1ms, and can achieve full charge in less than 15ms. Herein lies its advantage over other kinds of capacitors; because it can rapidly charge and discharge its capacity. This makes it helpful for applications that require a rapid response to voltage.

The EGXE101ETD470MJ16S Capacitor has a rated ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) of 3.5 milliohms and a rated Ripple Current of 3.3 milliohms. This exacts a minimal impact on the signal passing through it. The EGXE101ETD470MJ16S also has a high dielectric strength, which is a measure of how much voltage it can take without breaking down or short-circuiting. It can take up to 10V of input without breaking down. Additionally, the EGXE101ETD470MJ16S has a temperature coefficient of 0.47%, meaning that its capacitance (capacity) will remain essentially unchanged as its temperature increases.

Conclusion

The EGXE101ETD470MJ16S Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is a multipurpose device with a wide range of applications. It can quickly charge and discharge its capacity, making it ideal for timing and low-frequency filtering applications. Additionally, it has a high dielectric strength and low temperature coefficient, making it reliable and resilient.
