Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are devices made up of a metal case, two extruded aluminum plates, and a dielectric field which consists of an electrolytic solution. The aluminum plates are coated with a layer of oxidation which acts as a dielectric between the two metal plates. This creates a capacitor whose capacitance is determined by the relative distance between the two metal plates, with the dielectric thickness and material having the greatest influence.

An electric current passes through the metal plates when the capacitor is connected to a power source. As the current leaves the metal plates, it leaves behind a positive or negative charge, depending on the direction of the current. This charge is what allows the capacitor to store energy. Then, once the capacitor is activated, the stored energy is released again as an electric current with a reversed direction.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a great choice for a variety of applications due to their energy storage and temperature resistance. They are an essential part of the electronics industry and are used in a wide range of commercial, consumer and industrial electronics.
