LKS1V183MESB

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, also known as electrolytic capacitors or wet electrolytic capacitors, are the most widely used capacitors in the electronics industry. It features an extended electrical life, high energy density and performance to cost ratio when compared to other types of capacitors.

The LKS1V183MESB is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor and is generally applied in various low voltage applications such as LED lighting, telecommunications equipment, industrial instrumentation, consumer electronics, portable audio systems, computers, and various other medical and industrial applications.

The device consists of two main parts - the anode and the cathode. The anode is an aluminum structure, while the cathode is an electrolytic solution of organic solvent and a powder. The anode is electrically connected to the positive terminal, and the cathode is connected to the negative terminal of the capacitor.

The working principle of the LKS1V183MESB is based on Faraday’s law of electrolysis. This states that when a voltage is applied across two electrodes immersed in an electrolyte solution, the electrodes will experience concentration differences. This will cause more ions to be attracted to the positive terminal, creating an electric field between the terminals.

This electric field produces an electric current which passes through the electrolyte solution, forming a dielectric layer between the electrodes. This layer capacitatively stores the charge, resulting in energy being stored in the form of an electric field. When the voltage is removed, the charge remains, and can be discharged again to generate energy.

The LKS1V183MESB has a capacitance rating of 18000 μF, an operating temperature of -40 to +105°C and an operating voltage of 16 V. It is also rated for a low long-term leakage current of 0.062 μA and a short-term peak current of 10 mA. It also meets IEC, UL, TUV, CQC and ROHS standards.

Overall, the LKS1V183MESB is an excellent choice for applications that require high capacitance, long-term reliability and low leakage current. Its wide operating temperature range and excellent safety standards make it a must-have option for projects that require exceptional power storage and performance.
