MAL218197306E3

Aluminum - Polymer Capacitors are rapidly becoming one of the most popular capacitor types due to their low cost and excellent performance. They are being used in a variety of applications, from automotive electronics to consumer electronics. One of the most popular capacitor types is the MAL218197306E3, which is an aluminum - polymer capacitor. This capacitor has a wide range of applications and a robust working principle.

The MAL218197306E3 is an aluminum - polymer capacitor that is designed for high voltage applications. It has a maximum working voltage of 200 VDC and a maximum working temperature of 85 degrees Celsius. It has a low ESR of 250uOhms and a rated capacitance of 200uf. This capacitor is ideal for power supplies, switch power supplies, and automotive applications. Its small size, low ESR, and high voltage make it ideal for these applications.

The working principle of the MAL218197306E3 is based on the capacitance - voltage (C-V) characteristic of a dielectric material. It consists of two electrodes, known as the anode and cathode, which are separated by a dielectric material. When the voltage is applied to the two electrodes, an electric field is generated, which stores energy in the form of a stored electric charge. The amount of this stored charge is proportional to the applied voltage, which is known as the capacitance of the capacitor. All capacitors have this relationship between the applied voltage and stored energy.

Another key feature of the MAL218197306E3 is its self-healing qualities. Self-healing capacitors can recover from a short circuit without causing any permanent damage or failure. To achieve this, the capacitor is constructed with a sedentary film dielectric. This film dielectric releases a volatile element called Polyallylamine during a short circuit event. This element reacts with the molecules in the air to form an insulating film, thus preventing any further short circuit events. This self-healing property makes it an extremely reliable capacitor, as it will not have any long-term failures due to short circuit events.

The MAL218197306E3 is an extremely reliable and cost-effective aluminum - polymer capacitor that is ideal for a wide range of applications. Its relatively high voltage rating and low ESR make it particularly well-suited for power supplies, switch power supplies, and automotive applications. Its self-healing properties make it an even more attractive choice for these applications.
