Key Features

  • 47 µF capacitance with solid aluminum polymer dielectric for ultra-low ESR performance
  • High ripple current capability measured at 100 kHz, ideal for DC-DC converter output filtering
  • Compact 6.3 mm diameter × 5.9 mm height SMD package enabling high-density PCB layouts

Applications

The MAL218197601E3 is well suited for power supply decoupling and output filtering in DC-DC converters operating at switching frequencies above 100 kHz. Its solid polymer construction minimizes ESR, reducing voltage ripple in automotive and industrial power rails. The component is also used in point-of-load regulators and motor drive control boards requiring stable 47 µF bulk capacitance within a compact 6.3 mm footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ripple current can the MAL218197601E3 handle, and at what frequency is it rated?

The MAL218197601E3 is rated for ripple current measured at 100 kHz, which is standard for solid aluminum polymer capacitors. Its low-ESR construction allows it to handle significantly higher ripple currents compared to conventional wet electrolytic types of the same 47 µF capacitance, making it suitable for high-frequency switching power supplies operating above 100 kHz.

For a space-constrained DC-DC converter design, how does the 6.3 mm × 5.9 mm body size compare to competing 47 µF polymer caps?

The MAL218197601E3 measures 6.3 mm in diameter and 5.9 mm in height, which is a compact SMD footprint for a 47 µF solid polymer electrolytic capacitor. Many competing 47 µF wet aluminum electrolytics require an 8 mm or larger diameter at similar voltage ratings, so the 6.3 mm body saves meaningful board area in tight power-stage layouts.

Is MAL218197601E3 suitable for automotive or industrial power rail filtering applications?

Yes. The MAL218197601E3 uses a solid aluminum polymer dielectric that maintains stable capacitance over a wide temperature range, and its REACH-compliant, RoHS-compliant construction meets requirements for automotive and industrial environments. It is commonly deployed in 47 µF bulk decoupling positions on 5 V and 12 V industrial power rails where low ESR and long operational lifetime are critical, with a factory lead time of 12 weeks for volume orders.
