SLPX102M160E3P3

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are commonly used in switching power supplies, as well as other power electronics applications, due to their relatively high capacitance and robust construction. The SLPX102M160E3P3 is a specific type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor, with a rated capacitance of 100 uF, a rated voltage of 160 VDC, and an operating temperature range of -40 to +125℃.

The SLPX102M160E3P3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an axial-lead, non-polarized type capacitor. This type of capacitor is most commonly used in power factor correction circuits, in ground fault protection circuits, and in high frequency inverters. The SLPX102M160E3P3 is also used in other high frequency, high voltage circuits, including switch mode power supplies, resonant power converters, and as a DC filter in AC-DC/DC-DC converters.

The SLPX102M160E3P3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a very robust construction, utilizing a self-healing aluminum oxide film inside, which efficiently manages and isolate the charge during operation. This self-healing film is sandwiched between two thin layers of aluminum and is formed into an electrolyte that is impregnated with an electrolyte solution. This application of electrolyte solution helps to keep a steady flow of electrons present, allowing the capacitor to maintain its capacitance rating over long periods of time.

The operating principles of the SLPX102M160E3P3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor function similarly to other types of capacitors, using a pair of conducting plates (the anode and cathode) separated by a dielectric. When a voltage is applied to the terminals of the capacitor, the current flow causes a charge to buildup on the capacitor plates. This charge is stored in the dielectric, creating an electric field, and allows the capacitor to store energy. When the voltage goes away, the electric field is reversed, and the stored charge will be discharged back into the circuit.

The SLPX102M160E3P3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an ideal choice for many power type applications, providing high capacitance, low ESR and excellent temperature and voltage stability. It is ideal for high-frequency Volt-Amp (VA) power conversion applications, as it can handle high temperatures and voltages, and has a long shelf-life of up to 20,000 hours. Its robust design provides reliable and stable performance over extended periods of time, making it a great choice for high power and high-resolution applications.
