What are the key features of EKMG500ELL100ME11D?

  • 10 µF / 50 V aluminum electrolytic capacitor with low 0.015 mA leakage current for precision filtering and signal coupling
  • Compact 5 mm diameter radial through-hole body suitable for dense PCB layouts requiring standard can form factor
  • Wet aluminum dielectric construction providing high capacitance density at 50 V rating for power supply bulk storage
  • RoHS-compliant (JESD-609 e6) lead-free construction for global export and environmental compliance
  • Through-hole radial mounting enabling reliable wave solder assembly and manual rework in prototype and production boards

What is EKMG500ELL100ME11D used for?

The EKMG500ELL100ME11D is used as a bulk decoupling and power supply filtering capacitor on 12 V to 48 V DC power rails in consumer electronics, audio amplifier boards, and industrial control equipment. Its 10 µF / 50 V rating makes it well suited for filtering rectified AC supply rails in linear power supplies and switch-mode converter input stages where through-hole mounting provides superior mechanical robustness against vibration. Audio designers also use it for interstage coupling in analog circuits where a 10 µF series capacitor blocks DC bias while passing audio-frequency signals with minimal phase shift above 20 Hz.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the capacitance and voltage rating of the EKMG500ELL100ME11D, and what supply rails does it suit?

The EKMG500ELL100ME11D provides 10 µF capacitance at a 50 V maximum working voltage. Applying the standard 80% voltage derating rule, it is suitable for DC rails up to 40 V in continuous operation. Common applications include 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V power supply filtering stages, rectifier output smoothing capacitors in 24 VAC to DC converters, and bulk decoupling on industrial control board logic supply rails ranging from 3.3 V to 24 V.

How low is the leakage current of the EKMG500ELL100ME11D and why does it matter for precision circuits?

The EKMG500ELL100ME11D specifies a maximum leakage current of 0.015 mA (15 µA) after 2 minutes of voltage application at rated voltage and temperature. In high-impedance analog circuits such as sample-and-hold stages or low-drift bias networks, leakage current above 1 µA can cause measurable voltage drift. At 15 µA maximum, this part is appropriate for general filtering and coupling roles but not for precision voltage-hold applications where leakage must remain below 1 µA — those require film or tantalum capacitors instead.

What body size does the EKMG500ELL100ME11D use and how does the 5 mm diameter affect PCB hole spacing?

The EKMG500ELL100ME11D has a 5 mm diameter cylindrical can body with standard radial lead spacing of 2 mm. PCB footprints for this package require 2 mm lead pitch drill holes with 0.8 mm drill diameter and a 6 mm land clearance circle to accommodate the capacitor body. The 5 mm can diameter is among the most compact form factors for 10 µF / 50 V aluminum electrolytics, making it suitable for PCB designs with 7.5 mm grid spacing between components.

When would an engineer choose the EKMG500ELL100ME11D over a 10 µF MLCC or tantalum capacitor on a 12 V supply rail?

The EKMG500ELL100ME11D is preferred over an MLCC in cases where a 10 µF / 50 V capacitor is needed, because a 50 V-rated X7R MLCC in a small 0805 or 1206 package de-rates to roughly 2 to 4 µF effective capacitance at 12 V DC bias. The aluminum electrolytic delivers the full 10 µF regardless of DC bias. It is chosen over a tantalum capacitor when cost is prioritized and surge current risk (tantalum failure mode) must be avoided in circuits with high inrush such as motor start or power-on sequences at 12 V.
