What are the key features of MAL202118102E3?
- 1000 µF capacitance in a horizontal-mount axial leaded package for high bulk energy storage
- Low ESR of 135 mΩ enabling efficient energy delivery in power supply filter and decoupling applications
- 18 mm diameter aluminum wet electrolytic construction with low 0.13 mA leakage current
- REACH compliant and Pb-free per JESD-609 e3 for use in environmentally regulated systems
- 6-week factory lead time with axial horizontal mounting suitable for through-hole PCB assembly
What is MAL202118102E3 used for?
The MAL202118102E3 is used as a bulk energy storage and ripple filtering capacitor in linear and switching power supplies, audio amplifiers, and industrial motor drive circuits. Its 1000 µF capacitance and 135 mΩ ESR make it effective in smoothing rectified AC mains outputs and decoupling large transient load currents in 24 V and 48 V bus designs. The axial leaded horizontal-mount package is also well-suited for high-density through-hole assemblies where vertical electrolytic capacitors would exceed height clearance limits.

Frequently Asked Questions
What capacitance and ESR does the MAL202118102E3 offer for power supply filtering applications?
The MAL202118102E3 provides 1000 µF capacitance with a low ESR of 135 mΩ, making it effective for smoothing ripple in rectified power supply outputs and bulk decoupling on DC bus rails in switching converters. Its 0.13 mA leakage current is typical for aluminum wet electrolytic capacitors at this capacitance level.
How does the axial horizontal-mount package of the MAL202118102E3 benefit PCB layout in power electronics?
The axial leaded horizontal mounting style allows the 18 mm diameter capacitor body to lie flat against the PCB surface, reducing component height compared to vertical radial capacitors of equivalent 1000 µF capacitance. This is advantageous in enclosures with strict height limits of less than 25 mm, such as rack-mount power supplies and flat panel audio amplifier boards.
In what power supply or audio circuit scenarios is the MAL202118102E3 the preferred capacitor choice over smaller SMD electrolytic alternatives?
The MAL202118102E3 at 1000 µF is preferred in high-current bulk storage stages where SMD electrolytic capacitors cannot match the equivalent capacitance in a single component without paralleling 10 or more devices. It is also preferred in audio amplifier power supply rails where the low 135 mΩ ESR reduces high-frequency noise coupling into sensitive analog stages at frequencies above 1 kHz.
What is the lead time for the MAL202118102E3 and does it meet current environmental compliance requirements?
The MAL202118102E3 has a 6-week factory lead time, significantly shorter than many passive component lead times of 18 to 40 weeks seen across the industry. It carries REACH compliance and Pb-free status per JESD-609 e3, qualifying it for use in RoHS-regulated products across EU, Chinese, and Japanese markets without additional exemption documentation.
