Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, or simply electrolytic capacitors, are a type of capacitor that uses an electrolyte to achieve a larger capacitance than other types. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are composed of two aluminum foils with an oxide layer on one side and an electrolyte-impregnated paper separator between them. The oxide layer acts as the dielectric, while the electrolyte is the conductive path between the two terminals. The capacitance of the capacitor is a function of the area of the two aluminum foils, the dielectric constant of the oxide layer, and the plates’ separation.

MAL212360151E3 is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor that is suited for a variety of applications such as powerline filter, signal filter, decoupling filter, and bypass filter. It has a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 0.3 ohms and is a polarized device, which means the anode and the cathode have to be correctly connected for it to function properly. The MAL212360151E3 is available in several voltage ratings ranging from 6.3V to 200V, and its capacitance range is from 2.2µF to 220µF.

MAL212360151E3 Application Field

Due to its high capacitance, low ESR, and wide voltage range, the MAL212360151E3 is used in a variety of applications including, but not limited to, signal filtering, power line filtering, decoupling, bypass filtering and motor control. Furthermore, the low ESR of the MAL212360151E3 makes it suitable for high-frequency applications, while its low impedance and ripple current capability renders it useful in power supply systems and other demanding applications.

In motor control, low ESR capacitors such as MAL212360151E3 are used as energy storage devices. The low ESR allows the capacitor to deliver very high amounts of energy very quickly in motor control applications. Additionally, the capacitor can be used for noise filtering, as it can reduce the noise and ripple on the power supply lines.

Working Principle

The MAL212360151E3 capacitor uses two aluminum foil electrodes separated by a paper separator that is impregnated with an electrolyte solution. The electrodes are polarized, meaning the positive (+) and negative (-) connections have to be connected correctly for the device to work. When voltage is applied, the foil electrons move toward the anode and the oxide layer thickens, causing an increase in capacitance.

The capacitance of the device is a function of the area of the two aluminum plates, the thickness of the oxide layer, and the distance between the two plates. As the voltage on the anode is increased, more electrons charge, increasing the thickness of the oxide layer and increasing the capacitance. As the voltage on the anode decreases, the oxide layer thins and the capacitance decreases.

As the capacitor charges, the current flows through the electrolyte, which is the conductive medium between the two plates. As the voltage on the anode rises, the current starts to flow from the anode to the cathode. This reverses the flow of electrons, causing the oxide layer to thin and capacitance to decrease. This process is reversible, so once the voltage is removed, the device is discharged and the oxide layer thickens again.

The MAL212360151E3 capacitor is able to withstand higher temperatures and is resistant to damage from vibration, so it is more suitable for use in high-temperature and vibration environments. The device has a lower ESL (equivalent series inductance) rating than other comparable capacitors, making it suitable for high-frequency applications. Additionally, its low ESR makes it better at handling high ripple current.

Conclusion

The MAL212360151E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is well suited for a variety of applications due to its high capacitance, low ESR, and wide voltage range. It is used in power and signal filtering, decoupling, bypass filtering, motor control, and noise filtering applications. Its capacitor properties are a function of the two aluminum foil electrodes separated by an electrolyte-impregnated paper separator, and its polarizing capability allows it to increase its capacitance when anode voltage is applied. Additionally, its low ESL and low impedance make it suitable for high-frequency and high ripple current applications, respectively.
