LAK2G680MELZ25

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a type of capacitor that, due to their specific properties, are widely used in various components of electrical and electronic systems. They are constructed with an anode made from aluminum foil, with a coating of an electrolyte on the foil’s surface. A thin oxide film is then formed on the aluminum, which serves as the dielectric. This process is known as “splitting”.

One of the most common types of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is the LAK2G680MELZ25. This particular model is an axial-type capacitor, meaning that it has anode and cathode leads extending from its ends. It is designed to provide a stable, reliable, high capacitance for voltage-sensitive applications.

The LAK2G680MELZ25 is capable of providing from 4.7 to 25 μF of capacitance, and has a voltage breakdown rating of 6.3 to 25 VDC. Its maximum operating temperature range is between -40°C and +105°C. This capacitor also offers excellent long-term reliability and performance, with a rated shelf life of over 3000 hours.

In terms of applications, the LAK2G680MELZ25 is primarily used in power supply and power conversion circuits, as well as high-voltage switching circuits. It is an ideal choice for applications requiring a minimum number of components, while still delivering the required level of performance.

The working principle of the LAK2G680MELZ25 is relatively straightforward. Its construction makes use of an oxide dielectric, formed by a reaction between the aluminum foil of the anode and an electrolytic solution. An electric current is applied to the capacitor, causing a charge to be stored in the oxide film. This charge provides the capacitor with its capacitance, which is determined by the size of the oxide layer.

The LAK2G680MELZ25 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a reliable, well-engineered component that is well-suited for a wide range of applications. It is ideal for power supply and power conversion circuits, and its oxide-based design ensures that it delivers a high level of performance.
