Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are dependable electrical components that are widely used in a variety of electronic applications. The EKZE160EC3272ML20S, a radial-lead version capacitor, belongs to the same family. In this article, we will discuss its application fields and working principle.

Application Fields

The EKZE160EC3272ML20S capacitor is a snap-in type and provides a 20mm distance between leads for easy mounting on your circuit boards. This decreased lead pitch ensures that the capacitor fits in tight spaces. Its low-ESR/low-ESL features make it suitable for power amplification applications. It can also be used in general filtering, filtering circuits for power supplies of television receivers, audio equipment, etc. Additionally, it can be applied for high frequency attenuation in applications such as radio-control circuits, hybrid circuits of car audio systems, laptop computers, and so forth.

Working Principle

The functioning principle of the EKZE160EC3272ML20S is based on the physical phenomenon of electrolysis. This phenomenon involves the flow of electric current through a liquid (electrolyte) in the presence of two electrodes. The electrolyte, in this case, is an organic liquid in the capacitor that helps maintain a layer of “oxide” formed between two metal plates, known as the anode and cathode. The capacitance of the device is controlled by the amount of oxide formed between the electrodes. The oxide layer acts as the dielectric material and is responsible for the storage of energy in the electric field by the anode and cathode. The current passes through the electrolyte, thus completing the circuit.

The EKZE160EC3272ML20S has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C and a rated voltage of 25V. The maximum ripple current of the device is 72mA. It also has a capacitance value of 160µF with a tolerance of 20%. Additionally, it has a 5.8VRMS insulation voltage and power dissipation of 1.43W.
