ERWF351LGC103MEH0M

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are one of the most widely used and versatile components in electronics. The ERWF351LGC103MEH0M is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor that can be used in a wide variety of applications and has a few unique features.

The ERWF351LGC103MEH0M is an axial-leaded electrolytic capacitor. It is a type known as a Miniature Tolerance Electrolytic Capacitor (MTEC) and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It is a non-polarized capacitor, meaning that it works equally well when connected with either polarity. The ERWF351LGC103MEH0M has a tolerance range of ±10% and a capacitance value of 0.47µF.

The ERWF351LGC103MEH0M is primarily used for filtering purposes. It is often used to dampen out high frequency noise in circuits, such as in the signal paths of radios or audio amplifiers. Additionally, it can also be used as a timing component to control the rise and fall times of a switch. With its low ESR rating, it is also often used to stabilize the power supply voltage and to minimize voltage ripple.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors like the ERWF351LGC103MEH0M work by storing electric charge between two metal plates separated by an electrolyte. One plate is made from aluminum foil that has been etched with a pattern of minute holes, which increases its surface area and allows for greater capacitance. The other plate is made of a metalized polymer film. When a voltage is applied across the two plates, the electric field draws positive and negative ions from the electrolyte to opposite plates, creating a potential difference which stores the charge.

When the voltage is removed, the opposite current flows back, restoring the capacitor to its original charge. The advantage of aluminum electrolytic capacitors compared to other types of capacitors is their relatively large capacitance, low ESR, and low leakage current ratings, making them well suited for many applications.

Overall, the ERWF351LGC103MEH0M is a versatile and high performing aluminum electrolytic capacitor that can be used in a variety of applications. It is capable of handling high frequencies and can be used for filtering, timing, and stabilizing a power supply. Additionally, it has a high capacitance and low ESR, making it a great choice for a variety of digital and analog applications.
