Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used in the electronics field due to their stability, reliability, and high capacitance. The LNX2V562MSEH is an example of such a capacitor. This capacitor is a high-precision surface-mount capacitor with a capacitance of 0.562uF and a voltage rating of 10V.

Application Field

LNX2V562MSEH aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in motor control, frequency conversion, motor drives, digital systems and power supply systems. It is ideal for a variety of switching power supply, monitor, communications and voltage regulator applications.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors consists of three parts: an anode, a cathode and an electrolyte. The positive electrode consists of an aluminum cylinder wrapped with a porous aluminum oxide film. The negative electrode is made of aluminum foil, on which a thin layer of electrolytic solution forms a film. The electrolyte solution is an ionic conductor.

When a voltage is applied to the terminals of the capacitor, the electrons move onto the aluminum oxide film of the anode. This causes the oxide film to swell and break, forming an oxide layer on the anode. The oxide layer acts as an insulator and prevents direct electrical contact between the anode and the electrolyte solution.

This effect creates an electric field between the anode and the cathode which is called a dielectric field. The dielectric field creates a capacitance between the two electrodes. This capacitance is known as the capacitance of the capacitor.

Conclusion

The LNX2V562MSEH aluminum electrolytic capacitors are reliable, stable and can handle a high capacitancemaking them ideal for a variety of switching power supply, monitor, communications and voltage regulator applications. Its working principle also explains its stable and reliable performance.
