Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, also called e-cap, are arguably the most commonly used type of capacitor in the world today. They are components that act as energy storage devices in many electronic applications such as regulated DC power supplies, amplifiers, computers, telecommunications devices, industrial control circuits and consumer electronics. The benefits of using aluminum electrolytic capacitors stem from their inherently large capacitances, long life, and wide temperature range.

The model 35MS533MEFCT58X5 is an electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Nippon Chemi-Con, a leader in the production of aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

Application Field

The 35MS533MEFCT58X5 belongs to the UMT Series of aluminum electrolytic capacitors by Nippon Chemi-Con. This series of capacitors is designed for applications in oil-filled transformers, transfer switches, regenerative frequency converters, UPS systems, servers, frequency transmitters, harmonic filters, uninterruptible power supplies, etc. It is ideal for switch-mode power supplies, and other power systems requiring a high degree of reliability. It offers a rated voltage of 25V, capacitance range from 0.47uF to 4700uF, with a 105\'C operating temperature rating.

Working Principle

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor works by storing an electrical charge within an internal aluminum foil electrode that is then enclosed in a non-conductive electrolyte. The charge is generated within the capacitor by the use of an anode and a cathode. The anode consists of an aluminum foil that is catalyzed with an oxide layer. This layer is then electrolytically moistened with a liquid electrolyte which acts as an electrical bridge. The electrolyte is usually made of a mixture of water and propylene glycol and in some cases an organic solvent like methanol or ethanol.

The aluminum foil acts as the positive side of the device while the cathode contains an etched paper or non-conductive material that acts as the negative. The charge buildup within the capacitor is regulated by a diode or a dual diode, depending on the application requirements. A dual diode allows for better charge regulation and stability when compared to a single diode design.
