Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The MAL205854103E3 is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor. The aluminum electrolytic capacitor relies on an electrolyte, typically an aqueous solution containing an alkali, with an aluminum foil anode and cathode, separated by a paper or film separator soaked in the electrolyte. Compared to other types of capacitors, aluminum electrolytic capacitors have the benefit of high energy density, long life, and high reliability.

Application Fields

The MAL205854103E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor can be used in many applications such as power supplies, lighting Control, electronic device and instrumentation, automation, telecom, computer peripherals, audio electronics and industrial applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the MAL205854103E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is based on two dissimilar metals separated by a dielectric. When the voltage is applied to the capacitor, an electric field is created which opposes the current flow. Since the metals have different surface areas, the charge remains on the surface of the metal but does not pass through the dielectric. The charge on the surface of the metal creates a static electric field. This electric field is what is measured as capacitance.

Features and Benefits

The MAL205854103E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a number of features and benefits. These include an electrolyte-impregnated paper dielectric, which is very thin and offers high temperature stability; a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) which helps reduce thermal stress; a long life, exceeding 10,000 hours; and tight voltage tolerances, as low as ± 5%.

Conclusion

The MAL205854103E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a reliable and long-lasting part used in many applications across a wide range of industries. It offers a number of features and benefits including a thin dielectric, low ESR, long life and tight voltage tolerances. As such, it is a useful and versatile part in many applications requiring stable and reliable capacitance.
