VISHAY 152 RM Series Electrolytic Capacitor 22µF 200V Radial Leaded

The VISHAY Electrolytic Capacitor offers 22 µF capacitance at 200 V in a radial leaded format. Part of the 152 RM series, this aluminium electrolytic capacitor is designed for demanding applications where stable power management is essential.

Overview

This polarised capacitor features a non-solid electrolyte and is engineered to deliver high capacitance and voltage ratings in a compact, miniature form factor. Aluminium electrolytic capacitors are well suited to low and high frequency filtering and energy storage, applications that demand high capacitance values and significant power ratings. The device is relatively small compared with other capacitor technologies and offers good resilience against voltage spikes, which helps enhance circuit protection.

Construction

The capacitor uses an electrochemically etched aluminium anode foil, which forms the first plate. A thin oxide layer on this foil acts as the dielectric, while a paper spacer impregnated with a fluid electrolyte forms the second plate in contact with that oxide layer. A second foil provides the external contact. The component is housed in a cylindrical aluminium case with a pressure relief vent for safety and is insulated with a blue sleeve. The build is described as charge and discharge proof.

Key Features

• Operational life of 3000 hours at a maximum temperature of 105 °C
• Input buffering: provides backup energy when mains input voltage dips and stores energy during power level transitions managed by AC/DC converters
• Output buffering: acts as a current sink for inductors
• Prevents high-frequency switching noise from DC/DC converters reaching the power source

Dimensions

Width 3.3, depth 1.5 and height 4.3, with a weight of 2 g.

Suitable for power management circuits, this 22 µF, 200 V radial leaded capacitor is a practical choice where filtering, energy storage and buffering are required.
