Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The LGG2E152MELC40 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for high performance and reliable operation in demanding applications. This type of capacitors is distinguished from other capacitors by its high capacitance and its ability to handle high voltage. It is commonly used in applications that require high capacitance, low losses and high power ratings.

Application Field

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used in a wide variety of applications, such as electronic filters, power supplies, motor drives, inverters, and high-voltage DC application fields. They are especially suitable for high-performance applications such as high-frequency signals and electronic switching systems, where their low-loss characteristics are very valuable.

The LGG2E152MELC40 has a capacitance of 152 µF and can operate at a voltage of 450 VDC. Due to its high capacitance and low-loss characteristics, this type of capacitor is particularly suitable for precision signal conditioning and timing applications, power supplies, and power conditioning.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are constructed with an anode made of aluminum and an electrolyte composed of acid. When a charge is applied to the anode, an oxide layer is formed on the surface of the anode, trapping positively charged ions. This oxide layer effectively increases the anode’s surface area, increasing the capacitance of the device. The oxide layer maintains its capacitance even when the device is not under load.

When a voltage is applied to the device, the oxide layer acts as a dielectric, storing electrons at the anode and creating an electric field. This electric field increases the capacitance of the device and affects the voltage rating at which the device can operate. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors can handle higher voltages, such as applications up to 450 VDC.

Due to its high capacitance, low losses and high voltage rating, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are often used in high-performance and high-voltage applications. The LGG2E152MELC40 is a reliable and robust capacitor that is well-suited for such demanding applications.
