VISHAY 138 AML Series Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitor - 63V

The VISHAY 138 AML Series Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitor is a high-reliability component designed for demanding electronic applications. Its robust axial-leaded construction features a cylindrical aluminium case with a distinctive blue insulating sleeve, ensuring durability and consistent performance. This capacitor is engineered to excel in filtering and energy storage roles, making it a versatile choice for various circuit designs.

A key attribute is its excellent ripple current handling capability, which is crucial for maintaining stability in power supply circuits. With a wide operational temperature range from -40°C to 105°C, it is built to perform reliably in harsh environmental conditions. This makes it particularly suitable for applications where components are subjected to vibration and shock, or where a low mounting profile is required.

Core 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.

Crafted with precision, it offers a long operational life, rated for 1000 hours at the maximum temperature of 105°C. The polar design requires correct orientation during installation for optimal and safe performance. As a component from VISHAY's trusted 138 AML series, it delivers the quality and consistency needed for professional-grade electronics, from industrial controls to consumer devices.
