MAL214099414E3

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a type of polarized capacitors which store electrical energy in an electrostatic field. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are commonly found in electronics from consumer electronics to industrial devices. The MAL214099414E3 is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor, and is used in various applications and different operational principles.

Application Field of MAL214099414E3

The MAL214099414E3 is a medium-sized, axial-leaded aluminum electrolytic capacitor. It has a voltage rating of 35V, a capacitance of 1500µF, and a tolerance of ±20%. As such, it is a relatively low-voltage, low-tolerance capacitor ideal for applications such as power smoothing and energy storage.

Working Principle of MAL214099414E3

The basic operating principle behind the MAL214099414E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the same as that of standard capacitors. The main difference with aluminum electrolytic capacitors is that they contain an electrolyte in the form of a metallic oxide film on the surface of the conductive aluminum plates. This metal oxide film acts as the dielectric material and increases the energy stored in the capacitor. The current flow in aluminum electrolytic capacitors is dependent upon the electrolyte’s resistive properties.

When a voltage is applied across the aluminum plates of the MAL214099414E3, a charge displacement occurs in the capacitor due to the resistance created by the electrolyte. The charge displacement creates a voltage potential across the capacitor, creating an electric field between the plates. This electric field is what stores the electrical energy.

The capacitance of an electrolytic capacitor is dependent upon the size of the plates and the type of electrolyte used. For the MAL214099414E3, the capacitance rating is determined by the size of the aluminum plates and the type of electrolyte used. The tolerance of the capacitor is also determined by the type of electrolyte.

Conclusion

The MAL214099414E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a 35V, 1500µF device with ±20% tolerance. It is mainly used for energy storage and power smoothing applications. Its basic working principle is the same as other electrolytic capacitors, where an electrolyte is used to create an electric field and store electrical energy between the plates.
