Aluminum Electrolytic CapacitorsAluminum electrolytic capacitors are the most common type of electrolytic capacitor. They are polarized capacitors which primarily use an aluminum oxide film as the dielectric and have an electrolyte. Due to a relatively low K-factor, they have a relatively low capacitance density. They are used mostly in power electronics and industrial applications.The 160PX470MEFC18X40 aluminum electrolytic capacitor belongs to a series of high-quality, low-impedance aluminum electrolytic capacitors. It has a rated voltage of 16V, with a capacitance of 470μF and a tolerance of ±20%.ApplicationsAluminum electrolytic capacitors are used in a wide range of applications, but they are especially well-suited for high-voltage electronic applications because of their low surface leakage.High-voltage power electronics: Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used to store energy in power electronics applications, such as voltage converters, voltage multipliers, high voltage DC supplies, and AC/DC rectifiers. They are used to filter and store power in power conditioning circuits, such as in motor drives, adjustable speed drives, battery-powered devices, and power supplies.Automotive: Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used in both air-conditioning and audio systems. They are used to reduce the ripple voltage in output rectifiers, improve RF immunity, and filter noise from the input to the control unit. They are also used in motor drives, such as in electronically commutated motors, as well as in ABS systems.Industrial: Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used in industrial applications such as PID controllers, vacuum systems, and PLC systems. They are also used in medical equipment, such as defibrillators and infusion pumps.Avionics: Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used in avionics systems, such as autopilots, navigation systems, and radio equipment.Working PrincipleIn an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the dielectric is an aluminum oxide film that is formed on the plate. The oxide film acts as the insulator between the two electrical conductors, while the electrolyte is the conducting medium in the capacitor.When the capacitor is connected in a circuit, current flows through the electrolyte, which is composed of ions that move between the aluminum oxide on one plate and the electrolyte on another. The ions act as an insulator, allowing the capacitor to store electric charge.When a current is applied to the capacitor, the current creates a magnetic field which breaks down the aluminum oxide film at one positive end of the capacitor and causes it to move to the negative end, where the ions are repelled by the negative charge. This process is repeated as long as current is applied to the capacitor, increasing the capacitance.ConclusionThe 160PX470MEFC18X40 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a high-quality, low-impedance device that has a wide range of applications and is ideal for high-voltage electronic applications. It functions by using an aluminum oxide film as the dielectric and an electrolyte as the conducting medium, allowing the capacitor to store electric charge.
