Application Field and Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are mainly used in consumer electronics, instrumentation, computer equipment, industrial machinery, power supplies, audio equipment, and telecommunications equipment. Aluminium electrolytic capacitors are employed in these areas due to their large capacitance and low cost, making them ideal for a variety of applications. Their construction consists of a metalized aluminum foil, a dielectric of organic gel, paper or liquid, and a deionized water electrolyte or impregnate. The electric field between the metalized anode and electrolyte induces an electrostatic charge in the anode, and the stored energy in the anode is discharged when a voltage across the capacitor terminals is applied. This allows for rapid charging and discharging, which is necessary for proper operation of many electronic systems.

The MAL214031101E3 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with an extended temperature range, allowing safe operation from -40 degrees Celsius to 125 degrees Celsius. This makes it suitable for high temperature applications and ensures its reliable operation in extreme conditions.
