Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used electrical components that are responsible for the storage and release of electrical energy in a circuit. They are divided into two categories: pulsed and following. The pulsed type is widely used in the input stage of signal amplification and filtering, and the following type is mostly used in the output circuit and power circuit. The most common aluminum electrolytic capacitors have been specified by their capacitance, voltage and size. An example of this is the 160BXF180M16×20, which is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a capacitance of 160μF, a voltage of 180V and a size of 16×20mm.

Application Field

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used in a variety of different applications. They are used in power supplies, signal processing, audio systems, telecommunication systems, medical equipment, power line filters and switching circuits. They are also used as energy storage in a variety of non-electrical systems such as automotive and transportation, automotive electronics, HVAC, etc. For the 160BXF180M16×20 aluminum electrolytic capacitor, it’s ideal for use in high current power supplies, high frequency rectifiers, and other applications.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors use an electrolyte solution to store electrical energy, just like a battery but at a much higher voltages. An individual aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of two conductive plates separated by a layer of insulating material and a layer of electrolyte solution. Under applied electric field, the electrolyte solution acts as an inter-electrode dielectric medium, which can store electrical energy. When electric energy is released, electrons are drawn from one plate out of the electrolyte solution and travel to the other plate. This is what causes voltage drops in the circuit. For the 160BXF180M16×20 aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the capacitance is 160μF, voltage is 180V and the size is 16×20mm.

Conclusion

Aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an essential component in the circuit due to its unique properties. It has a wide range of applications in power supplies, signal processing, audio systems, communication systems, medical equipment, power line filters and other similar fields. The 160BXF180M16×20 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is especially ideal for use in high current power supplies, high frequency rectifiers, and other similar applications.
