SLP472M035A5P3

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used electronic components, comprising a major portion of the total volume of all capacitive components produced today. In fact, they are considered to be the most versatile of all capacitive components, offering a wide range of capacitance values, low leakage, high reliability, and long life in applications where temperature may not be strictly regulated.One such aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the SLP472M035A5P3, which is designed for applications in which high temperature and high voltage are both factors. This capacitor is an axial-lead capacitor, meaning that it has two leads that exit along the longitudinal axis of the capacitor.

Within the SLP472M035A5P3, two aluminum foils are separated by an absorbent paper soaked in a liquid electrolyte. The aluminum foils are etched with a pattern of concentric rectangles to provide the required surface area for the effective capacitance value. This capacitor offers a capacitance value of 47μF, with a ripple current of 3.5A RMS and a rated voltage of 63V DC.

The working principle of the SLP472M035A5P3 is based off of its design. As when a voltage is applied across the two leads of the capacitor, the positive lead acts as an anode, while the negative lead acts as a cathode. The electric current flows from the anode, across the electrolyte, and onto the cathode, forming an electrochemical reaction due to the cations and anions in electrolyte. This allows for a continuous flow of electrical charge between the two leads.

The SLP472M035A5P3 is designed for both high voltage and high temperature applications. This capacitor is well-suited for applications such as motor starters, automotive electronics, power supplies, audio equipment, and instrumentation equipment. Its having a tolerance of ±20%, a temperature coefficient of +120ppm per °C, and a maximum operating temperature of 105°C make it a versatile capacitor for a variety of applications.

In general, aluminum electrolytic capacitors offer reliability, long life, low leakage, and a wide range of capacitance values, making them the preferred choice for many different applications. The SLP472M035A5P3 is one such aluminum electrolytic capacitor, designed for applications which are subject to both high temperature and high voltage. It offers a high capacitance value, a ripple current of 3.5A RMS, and a maximum operating temperature of 105°C, making it a viable solution for many applications.
