PCR1K470MCL1GS Capacitors

Aluminum-Polymer Capacitors and PCR1K470MCL1GS

Aluminum-polymer capacitors are a type of device which is widely used in commercial, industrial and military applications. They are similar in design to aluminum electrolytic capacitors but with much-improved performance due to their self-healing characteristic and ability to withstand higher transient voltages. They are available in a wide variety of sizes and voltage ratings, and can be used in applications from low-voltage power supplies to high-voltage DC/DC bus capacitors. The PCR1K470MCL1GS is a high-performance aluminum-polymer capacitor from Panasonic.

Applications of PCR1K470MCL1GS

The PCR1K470MCL1GS is designed for use in high-voltage, high-capacitance applications where reliability and high surge performance is required. It is suitable for use in high-current DC/DC converters, power-supply circuits, and motor-control systems. It is also suitable for other applications such as power converters, switch-mode power supplies, electric vehicles and aerospace systems.

Working Principle of PCR1K470MCL1GS

The PCR1K470MCL1GS consists of a layer of spherical aluminum particles suspended in an electrolytic liquid and separated from each other by an insulating dielectric. The capacitor has an implanted metal electrode in the center which connects the particles. When a voltage is applied, the aluminum particles migrate across the dielectric and form a conductive layer between the electrodes. This process, known as a “self-healing” effect, increases the effective capacitance of the device. This improves performance and also increases the reliability of the device as it can withstand higher transient voltages. The device also features a unique design which eliminates the need for an additional pre-charged type electrolytic capacitor in the system.

Conclusion

The PCR1K470MCL1GS is a high-performance aluminum-polymer capacitor designed for use in high-voltage, high-capacitance applications. It offers increased reliability due to its self-healing effect, and improved performance due to its unique design. It can be used in potent applications such as electric vehicles and aerospace systems. This makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring reliable performance and high surge capabilities.
