Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The aluminum electrolytic capacitor 100ZL39MEFCTA8X16 is an electrically-charged capacitor made of aluminum foil with an electrolyte, typically containing sulfuric acid. It allows for the storage of significant amounts of energy in a small device due to its high energy density. Designed for use in high-voltage, high-power applications, such as power supplies or in motor drives, it is one of the most reliable and inexpensive capacitors on the market.

In an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, two aluminum foils (an anode and a cathode) are separated by a paper-like material, which acts as an insulator between the two halves. An electrolyte is then filled into the space between the two foils. This electrolyte has a high concentration of ions and it is usually made of liquid sulfuric acid or rubber. This enables the capacitor to take on and store an electrical charge.

When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, a layer of molecules is formed on the capacitor’s anode, making it a conductor. This results in a two-layer structure with the dielectric (insulator) in between them. This structure allows for the storage of electrical charge and the flow of electric current. The stored energy is equivalent to the charge multiplied by the voltage.

The aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a polarized device and its two terminals should always be accurately connected in the right direction. In addition, the capacitor should not be charged or discharged quickly; this may damage the anode, leading to a popping sound, a gas generating smell, and a possible fire hazard.

These capacitors are used in high-voltage applications because they can store large amounts of energy within a small size. Additionally, due to the high voltage on its electrodes, they are suitable for high-frequency applications. However, because of the electrolyte, these capacitors are irreversibly affected by humidity, temperature, and age.

In conclusion, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor 100ZL39MEFCTA8X16 is a high-voltage device, designed for use in applications such as power supplies or motor drives. This capacitor is a polarized device, meaning its terminals must be connected in the correct direction, and it must not be charged or discharged quickly. Its electrolyte, however, makes it susceptible to humidity, temperature, and age, limiting its use in some applications. Overall, it is an inexpensive and reliable capacitor, when handled with care.
