Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in electrical circuits for many applications, such as coupling, decoupling, timing, filtering, smoothing, and voltage storage. In particular, the MAL213631181E3 is a type of surface-mounted aluminum electrolytic capacitor specifically designed for high-reliability, high-current, and low impedance applications. The device features a cylindrical aluminum can with a negative terminal at one end, which is connected to the negative side of the aluminum can. On the other end, the positive terminal is connected to aluminum oxide film, a stable insulating layer between the two metal layers. This forms the basic structure of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

The MAL213631181E3 is ideal for use in dc filtering, high-frequency switching, and power supply applications. It is also suitable for use in renewable energy and telecommunications applications, as well as high-current, low-impedance systems such as automotive and military electronics. The device can also be used to provide rail-to-rail filtering and decoupling, enabling it to isolate sensitive low-voltage electronics from higher voltage circuits.

The MAL213631181E3 is particularly well suited for applications requiring large amounts of energy storage, such as surge protection and switching power supplies, as well as RF high-frequency filters. The device has a capacitance range of up to 10,000 micro-F, allowing it to provide ample energy storage for a wide range of devices and systems.

Performance Features

The MAL213631181E3 offers excellent performance features, including: high ripple current, low ESR, low equivalent series inductance, and very low equivalent series resistance. The device has a highly-stable epoxy-resin coating, which helps to protect the device from vibration and shocks. Additionally, the device has been proven to be very reliable in extended temperature range applications, and can easily handle high temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius.

The MAL213631181E3 is also well suited to high frequency switching applications, thanks to its low equivalent series inductance and low equivalent series resistance values. This allows the device to handle high-frequency signals without significant signal loss or distortion. Additionally, the device is able to handle high surge currents, making it suitable for high current-transient applications.

Working Principle

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor utilizes the principle of electrostatic attraction between two metal plates to store charge. The positive and negative terminals of the device are connected to two metal plates, separated by an oxide film. When a direct current is applied, an electrostatic charge is generated between the two metal plates, which causes an attraction force. This force, along with the unique properties of the oxide layer, enables the MAL213631181E3 to store electrical energy for an extended period of time.

When the charge reaches its anticipated peak level, the capacitor begins to discharge the energy, allowing the electrons to flow in the opposite direction. This allows the capacitor to provide a steady supply of stored energy without significant losses. The MAL213631181E3 is able to maintain its capacitance and voltage characteristics over time, thanks to the stable properties of the oxide layer.

Conclusion

The MAL213631181E3 is a highly reliable and efficient aluminum electrolytic capacitor that is ideal for use in a variety of applications. It is well suited for high-current, low-impedance systems, as well as high-frequency switching and power supply applications. Its highly-stable epoxy-resin coating provides excellent protection against vibration and shocks, while its low equivalent series inductance and low equivalent series resistance values make it an ideal capacitor for high-frequency switching applications. Additionally, the device is able to store electrical energy for extended periods of time, and is capable of handling high-surge currents.
