The part number **HT-63V100MF61-R2** refers to a specific **Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor**. These components are widely used in power supplies, filtering circuits, and decoupling applications. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic specifications and characteristics based on the standard naming conventions for this series. ### 1. Technical Specifications | Parameter | Specification | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor | Polarized storage component. | | **Capacitance** | 100 µF | The amount of charge it can store at rated voltage. | | **Voltage Rating** | 63V | Maximum DC working voltage. | | **Tolerance** | ±20% (M) | Standard industry tolerance for electrolytic caps. | | **Mounting Type** | Radial Lead / Through-Hole | Vertical mounting with two pins. | | **Case Size (Approx)** | 6.3mm x 11mm | Typical dimensions for the "F61" case code. | --- ### 2. Breakdown of the Part Number The alphanumeric code follows a structured format used by manufacturers (often associated with brands like **Elite** or **Lelon**): * **HT**: Represents the **Series**. The "HT" series usually denotes high-temperature stability (often rated for **105°C**). * **63V**: The **Rated Voltage**. This capacitor can safely handle up to 63 Volts DC. * **100**: The **Capacitance Value** in microfarads (µF). * **M**: The **Tolerance Code**. M stands for ±20%. * **F61**: The **Case Size Code**. This specifies the diameter and height of the capacitor body. * **R2**: Usually refers to the **Packaging/Lead Style** (e.g., Taped and Reeled or specific lead spacing). --- ### 3. Key Electronic Characteristics * **Polarity:** This is a polarized component. It has a positive (+) and a negative (-) terminal. Reversing the polarity can cause the component to fail or explode. * **ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance):** The HT series generally offers moderate ESR, suitable for general-purpose filtering but not necessarily for high-frequency switching power supplies (which would require "Low ESR" types). * **Temperature Range:** Typically rated for operation between **-40°C and +105°C**. * **Lifetime:** Usually rated for **2,000 to 5,000 hours** at its maximum rated temperature. --- ### 4. Typical Applications * **DC/DC Converters:** Filtering output ripples. * **Audio Equipment:** Coupling and decoupling signals. * **Consumer Electronics:** General energy storage in power bricks and household appliances. * **LED Drivers:** Smoothing the current to prevent flickering. ---
