MAL214277108E3 application field and working principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, also known as ‘Al-electrolytic capacitors’, are among the most widely used components in electronic circuits. In general, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used as capacitors for smoothing digital regulation, timing, storage, filtering and energy replacement in circuits. At the same time, aluminum electrolytic capacitors also have a wide range of applications in computers, components, communications, medical related equipment, etc.

The structure of the MAL214277108E3 belongs to a typcial aluminum electrolytic capacitor with lead terminal constructed in accordance with international UL standards, which is designed for use in power circuits, automotive electronics, motor control panels,solar energy systems, displays,etc. It provides perfect to support power supply and signal/load filtering solutions.

MAL214277108E3 adopts high grade CRY code aluminum electrolytic plate, and is designed with ≥6000 and ≤12000 hours rated lifetime. It is a radial aluminum electrolytic solid capacitor with a maximum operating temperature up to 110℃. It has a high insulation resistance capacity and low internal resistance. Besides, it also features Snap-in installation making mounting and servicing easy and efficient.

The most important feature of the MAL214277108E3 is its working principle. It is based on the Faraday law of electrolysis where a conducting electrolyte, typically an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide, is used as the ion carrier between the positive and negative electrodes. When electrical energy is applied, the positive ions in the electrolyte are transported from the cathode to the anode. As the positive ion concentration builds up, an electric field is created which is known as the electric double-layer capacitance.

An electric double-layer capacitor is a type of extremely high capacitance element that is also known as an ‘ultra-capacitor’ or a ‘supercapacitor’. Essentially, they are composed of two electrodes (the positive and negative electrodes) that are separated by an ionic interface. The electric double-layer capacitor relies on ion charge to create the capacitance. A typical double-layer capacitor has a capacitance range between 0.47F and 3.3F.

In conclusion, MAL214277108E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is widely used in electronic products due to its working principle and applications field. Its electric double-layer capacitance allows for higher voltages and greater charge storage than traditional capacitors. As such, it is ideal for applications requiring high power and high capacitance.
