MAL211825102E3

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are electrical components that utilizes the property of electrolytic to temporarily store electric energy. They are measured and rated in microfarads. MAL211825102E3 is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

Application Fields

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in various applications due to its high capacity and easy assembly compatibility. MAL211825102E3 is often used in power supplies, consumer electronics, automotive, and telecommunications applications. It can also be used to filter out noise and ripples in power lines as well as for general signal coupling or DC blocking.

Working Principle

MAL211825102E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor works by using two metal electrodes placed in an electrolyte. This creates a capacitor which can store electrical energy. When a voltage is applied to the terminals, an electrical potential will appear across the metal plates and cause a current to flow. This current will accumulate charges and create a stored energy on the metal plates. The electrolyte serves to shield the two plates from direct contact with each other, allowing them to store energy at a higher capacity.

The electrolyte also makes it possible for the capacitor to maintain a higher capacitance over time. This is because it forms a thin layer on the two plates that manages the electrochemical processes which occur with the applied voltage, allowing for prolonged performance and greater capacity. The electrolyte also improves the capacitor’s performance by improving the efficiency of the currents passing between the plates.

The electrolyte used in MAL211825102E3 is also engineered to have low ESR and low ESL, which can improve the capacitor’s ability to handle high-frequency signals and reduce unwanted noise. The low ESL also makes it suitable for high frequency switching applications, such as power supply circuits and radio frequency communications.
