Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors: MAL204838101E3 Application Field and Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, also known as aluminum electronic capacitors, are polarized types of capacitors featuring an anode made out of pure aluminum and a dielectric oxide film. The oxide layer is then applied to the anode, creating a barrier between the anode and the cathode, allowing charges to only cover a certain area of the plate. The most common application of aluminium electrolytic capacitors is for filtering, buffering, and coupling, as they offer a relatively high capacitance within a relatively small volume. In terms of size, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are further divided into four categories: miniaturized (i.e. under 10 mm in diameter and 5 mm in length), micro (i.e. under 5 mm in diameter and 2.5 mm in length), super (i.e. under 2.5 mm in diameter and 1.25 mm in length), and miniature (i.e. under 1.25 mm in diameter and 0.6 mm in length).

In particular, the MAL204838101E3 capacitors manufactured by the Murata Electronics Company are electrolytic capacitors with axial opening wire leads providing for a, 1000 hour life rating and 6.3 VDC (DC Working Voltage) rating. The anode of the aluminum capacitor is co-extruded with the aluminum case and produces a low ESR product, making it well suited for noise-suppression applications. Moreover, its standard capacitor, 6.3 VDC (DC Working Voltage) and small surface mounting package provide great versatility for a number of industrial requirements.

The working principle of aluminum electrolytic capacitor can be explained through the application of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. The basic elements that make up the aluminum electrolytic capacitor are the anode (positive plate), the cathode (negative plate), and the electrolyte. When a current is applied to the capacitor, an electric field is generated in the electrolyte between the anode and the cathode, due to the relative displacement of positive and negative charges. This field causes a charge to accumulate on the anode, enabling it to store energy. At the same time, the polarity of the anode current creates a magnetic field around the capacitor, allowing it to act like an inductor, effectively filtering out unwanted high-frequency signals.

The MAL204838101E3 capacitor is a great choice for the aforementioned applications, as it is highly reliable and easy to use. Its epoxy resin encapsulated construction ensures high thermal and mechanical shock resistance, making it suitable for various extreme environments, such as high humidity and salty atmospheres. Additionally, the capacitor’s superior solderability and more cost-effective design enable it to fit within most industry standards. Furthermore, its relatively small volume and impressive operational temperature range, ranging between -55°C (-67°F) and +125°C (+257°F), make it suitable for a wide range of temperature- and voltage-sensitive applications.

The MAL204838101E3 aluminum capacitor is a great choice for professional and industrial applications. With its broad voltage range, reliable performance, and temperature range, it is an ideal building block for various audio, video, imaging, and measurement systems. Moreover, its compact design allows for easy integration with other components, such as resistors and transistors, making it a great choice for PCB design. As a result, the MAL204838101E3 capacitor can be used in a variety of industries, including medical, automotive, aerospace, and military.
