Working Principles

Aluminum-polymer capacitors work on the same principles as other capacitors. They store a charge by utilizing a dielectric layer between two conductive surfaces. The structure of the dielectric layer to the capacitance is then used to define the amount of capacitance that can be achieved. In an aluminum-polymer capacitor, the dielectric layer is a combination of an organic film and one or more aluminum electrolyte layers. This results in higher capacitance and stability as compared to an aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

The 16PS330MBJ12 series of capacitors also offers a number of additional advantages such as low ESR, good self-healing characteristics, long life expectancy, low leakage current, and good charge and discharge characteristics. These advantages make the capacitor series suitable for a wide range of applications.
