Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors (AECs) are one of the most widely used capacitor types. They consist of a metal can, electrodes, and a dielectric, usually aluminum oxide. AECs are used in a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to industrial and automotive applications. They are particularly popular due to their combination of high capacitance, low ESR, and relatively low cost.

MAL215233109E3 application field and working principle

The MAL215233109E3 by Panasonic is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor specifically designed for use in automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications. It is a radial leaded, non-polarized capacitor with an electrolytic cathode and a solid anode. The MAL215233109E3 features a maximum rated voltage of 35V, a capacitance range of 9 to 33nF, and a long total lifetime of 6,000 to 10,000 hours.

The MAL215233109E3 is designed for use in pulsed applications where the peak voltage can be up to 1.5 times the rated value. As with other aluminum electrolytic capacitors, the MAL215233109E3 uses a dielectric layer between the electrodes to form the capacitance. The dielectric in this case is made of aluminum oxide which helps to increase the capacitor\'s robustness and provides an excellent stability over time and temperature.
