VISHAY 138 AML Series Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitor 16V
VISHAY 138 AML aluminium electrolytic capacitor rated 16V with axial leads and blue sleeve. Rated for 1000 hours at 105°C.
The VISHAY 138 AML Series Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitor is a 16V component with a cylindrical aluminium case and axial leads, designed for filtering, energy storage and other demanding electronic applications.
Overview
The capacitor features a robust axial-leaded construction with a cylindrical aluminium case and a distinctive blue insulating sleeve. It is designed for filtering and energy storage roles, making it a versatile choice for a range of circuit designs. Its excellent ripple current handling capability supports stability in power supply circuits.
Operating Conditions
The capacitor has a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, allowing it to perform in demanding environmental conditions. It is suited to applications where components are subjected to vibration and shock, or where a low mounting profile is required. It is rated for 1000 hours at the maximum temperature of 105°C.
Applications
This capacitor is ideally suited for:
- Smoothing and Filtering: Essential in Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) to reduce AC ripple on DC outputs.
- Coupling and Decoupling: Effective for blocking DC signals while allowing AC to pass, and for minimising noise between circuit stages.
- Buffering: Provides stable energy reserves to support sudden load demands.
- Stand-by Circuits: Ensures reliable operation in backup or low-power modes.
- Vibration-Resistant Boards: Its construction is suited to applications where mechanical stress is a factor.
Installation Note
The capacitor is polar, so it must be oriented correctly during installation for optimal and safe performance. Its dimensions and weight are listed in the specifications below.
