Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in many electrical and electronic equipment and circuits. The KZE series capacitors, especially the KZE16VB331M8X11LL model, is an ideal component for a variety of applications under differing conditions. This paper will discuss the application areas, construction, and working principle of the KZE16VB331M8X11LL model.

Application Fields

The KZE16VB331M8X11LL model is a high-performance, long-life aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a capacitance of 3300uF. It is a radial-leaded device with metal-oxide film exterior and axial leads. The design of this product allows it to be used in a variety of applications requiring good electrical parameters in a small format. The KZE16VB331M8X11LL is suitable for various power supplies, motor starters, switching power supplies, inverters, battery chargers, electronic drums, and any other application where capacitors are used in medium power systems.

Construction

The KZE16VB331M8X11LL is made up of an aluminum core, formed from electrolytic anodized aluminum, and anode and cathode leads attached to it. The anode and cathode leads are connected to a metal-oxide film, which provides insulation and protection against short circuits. The metal-oxide film also hardens the core and improves the product’s mechanical strength. The capacitor also has a structure made of resin, which facilitates the stacking of multiple capacitors and helps prevent electrolytic gas leakage. The outer surface is usually coated with a flame-retardant dip coating.

Working Principle

The KZE16VB331M8X11LL works on the same principle as all other aluminum electrolytic capacitors. When an electric current is applied, the electrolyte surrounding the anode and cathode plates separates to form a positive and a negative barrier, which allows the accumulation of charge. This creates an electric field, which is the source of the capacitor’s electrical properties. The same principle applies to the KZE16VB331M8X11LL, with the addition of the metal-oxide film providing further protection and insulation.

Conclusion

The KZE16VB331M8X11LL is a high-performance, long-life aluminum electrolytic capacitor with excellent electrical parameters. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including power supplies, motor starters, switching power supplies, inverters, and battery chargers. The capacitor is constructed from electrolytic anodized aluminum, with anode and cathode leads attached to it and a metal-oxide film for insulation and protection against short circuits. The capacitor works on the same principle as all other aluminum electrolytic capacitors, with the added benefit of the metal-oxide film.
