Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, or “AlCap” as it is often simply referred to, is a type of capacitors. Capacitors are an electrical component used to store electrical energy. It is like a battery but is much smaller, usually only a few millimeters in size. AlCap capacitors consist of two conductive metal plates called “electrodes” that are separated by an electrolyte, usually a conductive gel. They are typically used in a wide variety of electronic devices such as computers, cell phones, and televisions.

The 16ZLG120MEFC6.3X11 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a device commonly used in various commercial and industrial applications. It is a polarized capacitor, which means that the two terminals of the capacitor have an inherent polarity. One terminal of the capacitor is marked as the positive terminal and the other terminal is marked as the negative terminal. This is important because this type of capacitor only works properly when the two terminal polarities are maintained.

The 16ZLG120MEFC6.3X11 capacitor’s application field mainly spreads into the low frequency signal circuit of communication equipments, TV set, stereo amplifying and switching power supplies and consumer electronics. It also can be used in filter capacitors, stabilizing power supply capacitors and energy storage capacitors. In this application field, the AlCap capacitor has the advantages of high capacity and low cost, making it an economical solution to many electronics projects.

The working principle of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the same for all capacitors: it passes electricity while storing an electrical charge. The polarity of the capacitor determines the flow of current. When an electric field is applied to the two electrodes of the capacitor, ions from the electrolyte solution migrate towards the positive electrode. This forms an “electric double layer” between the two electrodes, which stores the electrical charge. When the voltage of the electric field is reduced, the ions move back to the negative electrode, releasing the stored charge. It is this cycle of storing and releasing an electrical charge that allows the capacitor to function.

In conclusion, the 16ZLG120MEFC6.3X11 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a device used for a variety of applications in the electronics industry. Its application fields mainly spread into the low frequency signal circuit of communication equipments, TV set, stereo amplifying and switching power supplies and consumer electronics. It has the advantages of high capacity and low cost, making it a popular solution. The working principle of the capacitor is based on passing an electrical charge while storing an electrical charge in between two electrodes.
