Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are one of the most common types of capacitor. They are used in a wide range of applications, ranging from consumer electronics to industrial, aerospace, and military applications. The main benefit of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is its high capacitance – it can store a large amount of charge and is capable of handling a high voltage. It also has a long life span, as long as proper care is taken in its use and storage.

EKZE100ETD101ME11D Application Field and Working Principle

The EKZE100ETD101ME11D is a precision aluminum electrolytic capacitor that is designed for a variety of applications, including power supplies, motor drives, lighting control, and sensing applications. It has a capacitance of 100μF and a rated voltage of 10VDC. The capacitor is designed to be suitable for wave-shaped and pulse-shaped load current applications. It is an open type capacitor with a long axial lead. The tolerance of the capacitor as expressed as a percentage of the rated capacitance range is ±20%.

The EKZE100ETD101ME11D works on the principle of electrolytic capacitance – when a voltage is applied between the two metal plates in the capacitor, an electrical charge accumulates on the plates, creating an electrical field between them. This field stores the electrical energy, allowing for a steady current to flow through. The capacitor’s capacitance is determined by the size of the plates, the distance between them, and the type of dielectric material between them. The dielectric material can be a type of plastic, metal, or air. The higher the capacitance, the more charge the capacitor can store.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors offer a variety of advantages, including high capacitance, high operating voltage, and long life. They are also relatively inexpensive and are widely available in various sizes and types. Unfortunately, aluminum electrolytic capacitors also have some disadvantages, including low temperature coefficient, high equivalent series resistance (ESR), and limited insulation values. It is important to take these factors into consideration when selecting a capacitor for a particular application.
