SMG400VB1R0M6X11LL

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, often abbreviated as electro capacitors, are passive electronic components consisting of two metallic plates separated by a dielectric liquid. The SMG400VB1R0M6X11LL is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a voltage rating of 400 V and a capacitance of 1 μF. The “LL” in the model number indicates a spiral-type wound construction. The device is used to store electrical energy for short time intervals.

Application Field

SMG400VB1R0M6X11LL aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in power supply and high-voltage circuits, due to their large capacitance and high voltage capabilities. Depending on what type of capacitor is used(radial lead or snap-in version), SMG400VB1R0M6X11LL capacitors can be used in a variety of applications, such as motor drives, power conditioning, and communication systems. SMG400VB1R0M6X11LL capacitors are also used in audio equipment, video equipment, and high-voltage testing equipment.

Working Principle

The SMG400VB1R0M6X11LL aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a polarized capacitor. It consists of an anode and a cathode which are separated by a dielectric liquid electrolyte. A metallic oxide film is formed on the anode, and this film acts as the dielectric medium between the two metal plates. When voltage is applied to the capacitor, negatively charged electrons flow from the anode to the cathode, setting up an electric field across the cavity and resulting in the stored charge.

The SMG400VB1R0M6X11LL aluminum electrolytic capacitor can store much more energy than its physical size suggests due to its higher voltage and capacitance rating. This makes them very useful in applications where energy storage is needed for short time intervals, such as AC filtering and in motor drives. They also have a high self-healing property, which helps them in maintaining their capacitive value during excessive electrical transients.

Conclusion

The SMG400VB1R0M6X11LL aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an electrical component that is used to store electrical energy for short time intervals. It has a large capacitance and a high voltage rating, making it suitable for applications such as power conditioning, communication systems, audio equipment, and video equipment. The device also has a high self-healing property, which helps maintain its capacitive value during excessive transients.
