NLW25-16

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are extremely versatile components commonly used in nearly all modern electronics, from computers to medical devices. The NLW25-16 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is part of a specific series of capacitors manufactured by Nichicon that are designed for use in high temperature and high-reliability applications. This article will explain the application fields and working principle of the NLW25-16 capacitor.

The primary application field for the NLW25-16 is in high-temperature environments where a high level of reliability is necessary. This capacitor is designed and tested in accordance with the AEC-Q200-010 standard, which means that it can reliably operate in environments with temperatures up to 150°C (302°F). It has a wide range of uses in military, automotive, industrial, medical, and aerospace applications that require extra durability and protection from harsh environments.

The working principle of the NLW25-16 is the same as other aluminum electrolytic capacitors. It is composed of two metallic layers: the anode and the cathode. The anode consists of a metal plate coated in an electrolyte solution. The cathode is made of aluminum foil and a paper separator. An electric charge is applied to the anode and cathode in order to store energy. When a current is drawn from the capacitor, the charge is dissipated and the capacitor discharges.

The components of the NLW25-16 are specifically designed to withstand high temperatures. The anode and cathode are both made of aluminum, which is corrosion resistant and conducts heat well. The electrolyte solution is designed to remain stable and conductive at high temperatures. The separator is made of an insulating paper that is impregnated with silicone in order to make it heat-resistant. The capacitor also has a metal casing that protects it from physical damage and helps dissipate heat.

In addition to being designed for high-temperature applications, the NLW25-16 also has a high degree of reliability. It features RoHS compliance, long-term storage life, and high levels of reliability and safety. It is also designed to provide a long service life, with tested life ratings of ≥10,000h at 85°C (185°F) and ≥1,000h at 105°C (221°F).

The NLW25-16 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an excellent choice for applications that require extra protection and reliability in harsh high-temperature environments. Its durable design and extreme reliability make it a favorite in military, automotive, industrial, medical, and aerospace applications.
