Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor that uses a thin, aluminum foil oxide layer as its dielectric medium, in order to store an electrical charge. It is usually used to store a charge in order for it to be used for a specific purpose. The most common applications for aluminum electrolytic capacitors include power supplies in consumer electronics and telecommunications, and power filtering in industrial designs.

MAL215090186E3 Capacitor Application Field

The MAL215090186E3 capacitor is a radial leaded aluminum electrolytic capacitor, with an extensive application range in industrial and consumer electronics devices, such as mobile phones, computers, chargers, LED lights and transformers. This capacitor is also used to filter signals in radio frequency circuits, providing excellent RF shielding in these devices.

MAL215090186E3 Working Principle

The MAL215090186E3 capacitor works on the same principle as any other aluminum electrolytic capacitor, wherein a metal foil is coated with an insulating oxide layer. An electrolyte is then applied to the oxide layer, and a voltage applied across the capacitor. This causes ions to move between the metal and the electrolyte, and charge to build up on the metal. This charge creates an electric field which creates a barrier to the movement of further ions, thereby storing a charge.

The MAL215090186E3 capacitor is a radial leaded capacitor, with leads attached to the metal foil on both the top and bottom. This allows the capacitor to be connected to the circuit, and for the charge to be stored within the capacitor, enabling it to be used for the desired purpose.

The MAL215090186E3 capacitor is also equipped with a ‘polarity’ system, meaning that it has a positive and a negative lead. It is important that the correct voltage is used when connecting this capacitor to a circuit, as applying too high a voltage could cause it to fail. It is also important to connect the correct lead to the correct voltage, as reversing the polarity could cause the capacitor to overheat.

Conclusion

The MAL215090186E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a versatile and reliable capacitor, that can be used in a variety of electronic applications. It is important to ensure the proper voltage is applied to the capacitor, as well as connecting the correct lead to the correct voltage, in order to ensure correct operation. This capacitor is a great choice for applications where reliability and versatility is essential.
