Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are a type of large capacitors used to store a large amount of energy, mainly in the form of either electrical or radio-frequency (RF) energy. They are usually constructed from two metal plates that are formed into cylinders, with a thin dielectric material separating them. In most applications, the two plates are connected to a low-resistance material or conductor such as an inductor or an active surface area, with the metal plates being insulated from each other. The two plates are connected by an electrolyte to form a capacitor, which is then typically soldered or welded onto a printed circuit board (PCB) or on an anode or cathode resistor.

MAL214699908E3 is an Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor developed by by Sanyo Chemical Industries. It is a large capacitor that has a ripple voltage of up to 16V and a high capacitance of up to 220μF. This capacitor is suitable for use in low- to mid-range high-reliability memory and system applications. It has an operating temperature range from -40 to +105°C, with an ambient temperature rating up to 105°C.

Application Field

MAL214699908E3 is suitable for a variety of electronic applications, including computer memory, telecom and power conditioners, automotive systems, and more. It is also suitable for use in high-reliability applications due to its high capacitance and ripple voltage rating. The capacitor is also suitable for use in power back-ups and emergency lighting as it offers low ESR, high capacitance, and high ripple voltage.

Working Principle

The working principle of an Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is based on Faraday\'s Law. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, a negative electron electrostatic force is created, allowing for the accumulation of electric charges. The electric charges accumulate on the anode and cathode plates, which are separated by a thin dielectric layer. When a voltage is applied, charges issue from the anode and cathode and accumulate on the two plates, forming an electric field. The electric field created on the two plates changes the capacitance value and that is how the capacitor works.

MAL214699908E3 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is designed to provide exceptional performance in a range of high-reliability applications. Its high capacitance and high ripple voltage rating makes it suitable for use in low- to mid-range high-reliability applications, and its operating temperature range and ambient temperature rating ensure reliable operation over a wide range of conditions.
