Frequently Asked Questions
What is the capacitance and ESR of the Vishay MAL212018221E3 and why do these values matter?
The MAL212018221E3 has a capacitance of 220 µF and an ESR of 249 mΩ. The relatively low ESR allows higher ripple current handling with less heat generation, which is critical for maintaining capacitor reliability and efficiency in switching power supplies and motor inverter DC bus filtering applications.
What package format does the MAL212018221E3 use and how is it mounted on a PCB?
The MAL212018221E3 uses an axial-leaded package with a 13 mm diameter body, mounted horizontally on the PCB between two through-hole leads. Axial mounting keeps the capacitor body close to the PCB surface, which is useful in low-profile power supply board designs or chassis-mounted applications where vertical clearance is restricted.
What leakage current does the MAL212018221E3 exhibit and which applications benefit from low leakage?
The MAL212018221E3 has a specified leakage current of 0.206 mA, which is low for a 220 µF wet aluminum electrolytic. This low leakage is particularly valuable in energy-metered industrial equipment, battery-backed systems, and standby power supplies where idle current drain directly impacts operating costs or backup runtime.
Is the MAL212018221E3 compliant with RoHS and REACH environmental regulations?
Yes, the MAL212018221E3 carries REACH Compliance Code: Compliant and JESD-609 Code e3, confirming it is free of regulated hazardous substances. This makes it suitable for use in consumer and industrial electronics products destined for EU, US, and Asian markets subject to RoHS and REACH directives as of 2024.
