382LX122M400N062

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are primarily used for power supply decoupling, filtering, and providing energy to active electronic components. They use aluminum foil as their anode, which is etched and covered with a very thin oxide layer. This oxide layer acts as a dielectric and is sandwiched between the anode and a humid liquid, typically organic electrolyte. The organic electrolyte is spongy as it absorbs some of the liquid electrolyte, which gives these capacitors a polarized electrode. These capacitors have a wide range of applications which include power supplies, motor drives, and high voltage pulse applications.
