Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are capacitors which use an aluminum oxide film as a dielectric. They are widely used in many consumer and industrial electronics applications and offer several advantages over other types of capacitor, including wide temperature ranges, low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), high ripple current and high capacitance. The type of capacitors discussed in this article is the 450HXC180MEFC35X25, a radial type aluminum electrolytic capacitor suitable for use in AC line filtering, high frequency rectification, and energy storage applications.

Construction and Working Principle

The 450HXC180MEFC35X25 aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of an aluminum case, an anode foil, a dielectric film, and a cathode foil. The case is typically made of aluminum and is most commonly cylindrical in shape. Inside the case is an anode foil which is typically made of aluminum, along with a dielectric film which is typically comprised of aluminum oxide. Lastly, a cathode foil is also included which is typically made of a conductive material such as a metal. When the capacitor is subjected to an applied voltage, positive and negative ions move from the anode to the cathode, resulting in an electric current. This current creates an electric field which is transmitted through the dielectric film, creating a capacitance.
