MAL210445103E3

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, also known as aluminium electrolytic capacitors, are the most widely used type of capacitor. They are polarised capacitors and consist of an aluminum foil with an etching, usually in a circular shape, and a paper spacer. As common electrolytic capacitors, they are used in high-current power supply circuits and in low-level audio circuits. Among the many applications of these capacitors, the MAL210445103E3 is a special type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor with its own special features and uses.

The MAL210445103E3 is a wet radial electrolytic capacitor designed for high-frequency applications. It is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor specifically designed for use in high-frequency switch mode power supplies, adaptable and compliant to the modern needs of the power supplies. It\'s features addition to surpassing expectations for a capacitor of its type, such as an extended temperature range (from -55°C up to 105°C case temperatures) The MAL210445103E3 is made to survive in applications subject to frequency changes are also to be expected of its decreased size.

What sets this particular type of electrolytic capacitor apart is the fact that it is manufactured with a low-profile design, meaning it is able to fit in narrow spaces on printed circuit boards, making it ideal for more complex designs. It also has outstanding electrical performances like, very low equivalent series resistance and high ripple current capabilities. This together with its long-term performance and very low temperature coefficient values make it a highly reliable solution for high frequency switch mode power supply solutions.

The working principle of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is fairly simple. When a voltage is applied across the capacitor, it will attract positive ions from one plate and negative ions from the other plate. The positive ions are attracted to the positively charged plate of the capacitor, while the negative ions are attracted to the again the positively charged plate. As the positive ions migrate to the positively charged plate, they give up their electrons, which then combine with oxygen and form an oxide film. This oxide film acts as an insulator and prevents any further electrons from passing through, creating a storage effect.

The MAL210445103E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an ideal solution for many switch mode power supply applications. Its small footprint, highly reliable performance and extended temperature range make it a desirable option in many situations. In addition, its high level of performance and durability make it an attractive option for a variety of applications.
