SLPX182M100E1P3

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The SLPX182M100E1P3 is a part of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor range used in a number of applications. The range is available in a number of standard package sizes. The application fields of the SLPX182M 100E1P3 or an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is in the areas of digital signal processing, consumer electronics, industrial control and many other kinds of electrical circuitry. The aluminum electrolytic capacitor is also used in audio applications such as amplifiers, speakers and other sound devices.

An aluminum capacitor dimensions are usually a cylinder shape with two plates. The electro lytic capacitor is either a Polarized or Non-Polarized type, the polarized capacitor requires biasing voltage to achieve capacitance. The Non-Polarized type does not need any biasing voltage. The main performance values of aluminum electrolytic capacitors comprise of capacitance, Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) and Leakage Current.

Aluminum Electrolytic capacitors use Aluminum Oxide as their dielectric material. It provides a very high capacitance values per volume unit and it is not temperature sensitive, which makes it ideal for use in temperature sensitive applications. The capacitor works by a process called “formation”. This is when the aluminum went thru a forming process and is treated with a chemical solution and then put into an oven. The capacitor is then formed in this process. It then goes to the next step which is the anode formation. The anode is then charged up with a specified voltage and then sealed in the case.

The main advantages of the aluminum electrolytic capacitors are that he has a very long useful life and a very low impedance to voltage ratio. He also has a low cost. But, he also has some disadvantage, such as his limited temperature range and leakage current.

To summarize, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used in a wide range of applications, especially those which are temperature sensitive. The SLPX182M100E1P3 is a part of this range which is suited to many different applications. It has many advantages which include a long life span and low leakage current, as well as a low cost. It is important to consider the temperature range and other performance values when choosing an aluminum electrolytic capacitor.
