LKS1K272MESZ

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a capacitor that uses an electrolyte as one of its two electrical conductors. It typically consists of aluminum foil covered by an oxide layer that acts as one of the capacitor’s two electrical conductors. The second electrical conductor is a liquid or gel electrolyte and other exposed aluminum electrodes.

One of the applications of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is in LKS1K272MESZ. This type of capacitor is commonly used in automotive and aerospace applications such as cooling fans, ECUs, and instrument clusters due to its ability to dissipate heat quickly and because of its high capacitance. The capacitor has a voltage rating of 10V and a maximum ripple current rating of 1.2A. It has an effective series resistance value of 0.75ohms and a capacitance range of 22-280µF.

The working principle behind the LKS1K272MESZ is fairly simple. It works by creating an electric field across an oxide layer between two aluminum electrodes. This electric field is then used to store energy in the form of a charge. When a current is applied to the electrodes, it causes the oxide to react, leading to a decrease in voltage across the capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor is determined by the size and thickness of the oxide layer, the number of electrodes, and the type of electrolyte used.

The LKS1K272MESZ is a robust and reliable capacitor and has been designed to meet the exacting requirements of the aviation and automotive industry. It is designed to handle high temperature exposure with excellent performance so it is perfect for applications such as engine control and monitoring systems. It is also designed to withstand high vibration and shock and can withstand humidity and vibration up to 5000 hours.

In summary, the LKS1K272MESZ is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor used in automotive and aerospace applications to dissipate heat quickly, with a voltage rating of 10V and a maximum ripple current rating of 1.2A. It has an effective series resistance value of 0.75ohms and a capacitance range of 22-280µF. It works by creating an electric field across an oxide layer between two aluminum electrodes.
