EKY-160EC3471MH15D

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, more commonly known as “electrolytics”, use an electrolyte as one of the capacitor’s plates to store an electric charge. Due to their high capacitance, small size, low cost, and low equivalent series resistance, electrolytic capacitors are widely used in contemporary electronics. In particular, EKY-160EC3471MH15D capacitors are frequently utilized in audio-frequency applications, including crossover networks, tone control, and power amplifiers.The EKY-160EC3471MH15D aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a radial-lead, low impedance device designed for both pulse and continuous operation in the +/- 85°C temperature range. This model features a 4mm diameter, 25mm long cylindrical body constructed from a combination of high quality aluminum and vinyl plastic cover. The anode is fitted with screws for secure connection to the load, while the cathode is insulated from the body of the capacitor with a vinyl sleeve. EKY-160EC3471MH15D capacitors offer rated capacitance values between 220uF and 3300uF.The capacitance value of an electrolytic capacitor is determined by its physical size and plate separation, as well as by the liquid electrolyte used in its construction. In general, electrolytic capacitors feature a large surface area and a small distance between the plates, resulting in a significantly higher capacitance than comparable paper-film capacitors. The maximum allowable voltage for this type of capacitor is semi-related to the capacitance, typically ranging from 25V to 400V.The internal construction of an electrolytic capacitor is relatively simple. At its core, an electrolytic capacitor consists of two metal plates, one solid and one porous, which are separated by an electrolytic solution. As electricity is applied to the capacitor, electrons move between the two plates, and the free electrons in the solution become attracted to one of the plates, thus creating a “charge”. This charge accumulates on the plates, storing energy that can be released at a later time.The two main types of electrolytic capacitors, non-polarized and polarized, differ in the way they’re constructed. Non-polarized electrolytic capacitors are constructed using alternating layers of anode and cathode plates, while polarized electrolytic capacitors use one solid anode plate and one porous cathode plate. The anode of a polarized capacitor must always be placed in the correct orientation on the circuit in order to be electrically charged correctly. Any reversal of the polarity is liable to result in permanent damage to the capacitor.In conclusion, the EKY-160EC3471MH15D aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a powerful and reliable device that can be used in a variety of audio-frequency applications. Its small size and affordability make it a popular choice for modern electrical designs. This type of capacitor is constructed using an electrolytic solution and features one solid anode and one porous cathode plate. The capacitance and maximum allowable voltage of these capacitors is determined by their size and the liquid electrolyte used in their construction, and they must be placed in the correct orientation in any polarizing circuit in order to avoid permanent damage.
