Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are one of the most widely used components in electrical and electronic industry. They are used in virtually every type of application, from power management to circuitry designs. A typical Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor consists of two types of anodized aluminum foil with a separator in between them. This design offers a high capacitance and the ability to withstand high voltages.

Basic Working Principle

The basic principle of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the use of electrolyte and membrane separation. Electrolyte is composed of a liquid gel or solid electrolyte solution Polarized ions in the electrolyte produce an electric field which acts between the two electrodes. The energy stored is accomplished by the electric potential energy (voltage) between the two electrodes.

The two aluminum electrodes are treated with a conformal layer which prevents the electrolyte from directly contacting the electrodes. The membrane serves a dual purpose of maintaining the integrity of the electric field and preventing the formation of electric arcs across the electrodes. The membrane also blocks the electrolyte and prevents impurities from entering and discharging the capacitance.

Application Field

The aluminum electrolytic capacitor is one of the oldest and most versatile types of capacitor available for many types of applications. A wide range of applications exists for Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors ranging from powering digital circuits; storing energy for uninterruptible power supplies, diverse automotive electronics, voltage regulation, and systems requiring energy storage.

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are also used in demanding audio applications such as the preamps inside the studio monitors. In this application, the capacitor is used for supplying high power to amplifiers by storing energy when required. The Electrolytic Capacitor is able to provide efficiency and sound envelopment which is important in this type of application.

In power supply designs, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are necessary for minimizing switching noise, improving stability and control. During times of full power loads, a capacitor stores energy that is returned to the device when the power is reduced. This response time is very important in ensuring that the power is regulated efficiently.

The contemporary consumer market is very demanding and requires manufacturers to also employ aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Applications include high speed CPUs for desktops, laptops, gaming consoles, phones, and other embedded devices. Electrolytic capacitors are needed to supply power to these devices to help prevent power drops during peak operation of each single device.

Conclusion

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a highly versatile components which are used in a wide range of application. The advances in design and innovation in electrolyte capacitors have allowed them to become the ideal choice for application in various power management and circuitry designs. Their capabilities to withstand high voltages and store energy for times of power drops, make them especially useful in today\'s high demand, consumer market.
