Aluminum electrolytic capacitor

Aluminium electrolytic capacitors are (usually) polarized electrolytic capacitors whose anode electrode (+) is made of a pure aluminium foil with an etched surface. The aluminum forms a very thin insulating layer of aluminium oxide by anodization that acts as the dielectric of the capacitor.

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor

Another key component of an aluminum capacitor is a thin layer of electrolyte between the anode and cathode in order to prevent short circuit. The electrolyte can be a liquid solution, a solid salt, or a conducting polymer film. The liquid electrolyte typically consists of a solvent of ethylene glycol and a solute of borate. Aluminum capacitors

FILM TECHNOLOGY TO REPLACE ELECTROLYTIC TECHNOLOGY

Thickness of aluminium reduces capacitance coefficient of aluminium engraving and for example, for a 500V capacitance gain is divided per 2 compared to a low voltage capacitor. In other hand, with high voltage (500V) electrolyte conductivity reaches 5 k cm compared to 150 cm for low voltage, which limits rms current value at about 20mA per μF.

ALUMINUM ELECTROLYTIC CAPACITOR

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors consist of anode aluminum foil formed with aluminum oxide film on the surface to function as the dielectric. The cathode aluminum foil functions as a collector, and the liquid electrolyte functions as the real cathode. The electrolyte is impregnated onto a separator (spacer) paper between both foils.

The basic material of the anode for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is a foil with a thickness of ~ 20–100 μm made of aluminum with a high purity of at least 99.99%. This is etched (roughened) in an electrochemical process to increase the effective electrode surface. By etching the surface of the anode, depending on the required rated voltage, the surface area can be increased by a factor of approximately 200 with respect to a smooth surface.

6 FAQs about [Aluminum thin film electrolytic capacitor]

What are aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are (usually) polarized electrolytic capacitors whose anode electrode (+) is made of a pure aluminum foil with an etched surface. The aluminum forms a very thin insulating layer of aluminum oxide by anodization that acts as the dielectric of the capacitor.

What is dielectric of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor?

Dielectric of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an oxide film formed on surface of aluminum foil by forming process. When voltage is applied to the dielectric, polarization occurs due to dielectric effect. The polarization does not immediately respond to the electrical field and may delay by the elastic viscosity of the molecules.

What determines the performance of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor?

The grown oxide layer, resulting from the solute and the solvent (electrolyte), greatly controls the performance of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. The component materials generally used are as shown in Table 2. Topics on principles of ELNA aluminum electrolytic capacitors。

What is a non-solid aluminum electrolytic capacitor?

These technical notes refer to "non-solid" aluminum electrolytic construction in which the separator is impregnated with liquid electrolyte. There is another type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor that uses solid electrolyte. The capacitance of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor may be calculated from the following formula.

What is the ESR of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor?

The ESR of an Aluminum electrolytic capacitor is very much linked to the conductivity of the electrolyte. The higher the conductivity the lower the ESR, However, the conductivity is also inverse proportional to the breakdown voltage which is linked to the operational voltage of the capacitor.

How to extend the life of aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

Consider the following to extend the life of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. qAvoid placing heat-generating components around the capacitor or on the back side of the printed wiring board (under the capacitor). wRemove as much heat as possible inside the electrical equipment by using a heat radiator fan or other heat dissipation device.
