ELG686M400AQ1AA

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are passive electrical components used to store energy and filter signals in electronic circuits. They comprise of two aluminum foils separated by a paper spacer soaked in an electrolyte. ELG686M400AQ1AA is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

The ELG686M400AQ1AA capacitor is a radial-leaded, non- socket mount type capacitor, suitable for automotive and industrial applications. It has a capacitance value of 6.86 μF, rated voltage of 400 VDC and is manufactured in accordance with AEC-Q200 standard. The capacitance is stable across high temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C. The device has a rated ripple current of 380 mA and a rated dissipation factor of 0.076 @ 100 kHz.

The principle of operation of this device is based on the Faraday\'s law of electrolysis. According to this law, a capacitor consists of two metal plates separated by a dielectric or electrolytic material. When a voltage is applied across the plates, electrons will be moved from one plate to the other, forming an electric field in the dielectric material. This electric field builds up charge between the two plates and thus forming a capacitor.
