Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are electronic components built around an electrolyte-filled aluminum foil and can be found in a range of applications. Many manufacturers are now producing aluminum electrolytic capacitors that utilize special technology making them applicable for use in a wide variety of applications. One example of such is the 50YXH470MEFCG412.5x20 aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

Application Field

50YXH470MEFCG412.5x20 aluminum electrolytic capacitors, sometimes referred to as general capacitors, are widely used in a range of applications. They are commonly used in switchgear and clutches, radio and television, medical instrumentation, battery control systems, lighting control systems and industrial controls.

These capacitors are known for their ability to handle high voltage and current, and vibration and shock resistance, making them a great choice for industrial and consumer electronics applications. They are also quite small in size for the range of applications they are used in, making them ideal for applications that require a small package with good performance.

The 50YXH470MEFCG412.5x20 aluminum electrolytic capacitors also have a longer life span than other types of capacitors, which makes them an increasingly popular choice for many applications. Furthermore, they have a higher temperature range and longer life rating setup than other types of capacitors.

Working Principle

The 50YXH470MEFCG412.5x20 aluminum electrolytic capacitor works by using a chemical reaction that takes place between two electrodes, the anode and the cathode. The anode is made from an aluminum sheet which is soaked in a chemical electrolyte solution which acts as the cathode.

When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the anode will start to oxidize and a conductive oxide film is created on the surface of the aluminum sheet. This oxide film is what provides the electrical insulation that makes the capacitor work.

When the voltage is removed, the electrode will lose its electrical connection and will store the electrical charge that was present when the voltage was applied. When the voltage is reapplied, the process starts again and the capacitor will retain its charge.

In addition to the 50YXH470MEFCG412.5x20 aluminum electrolytic capacitor, there are many other types of capacitors available such as tantalum capacitors, film capacitors, ceramic capacitors and supercapacitors. Each of these capacitors have their own unique applications and capabilities.
