Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are easily the most common type of capacitor used in consumer electronics today. They are inexpensive and typically offer higher capacitance values than other types of capacitors due to the nature of their construction.

The 672D157F015CG4I is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor that is typically used in power supplies, audio amplifiers, telecommunications systems and other DC-powered electronic circuits. The 672D157F015CG4I consists of a metalized aluminum foil wound around a paper spacer and impregnated with an electrolyte. The metalized aluminum foil acts as one of the electrodes while the electrolyte acts as the other electrode.

The 672D157F015CG4I is a polarized capacitor because one of the electrodes is positive and the other is negative. The end of the capacitor with the negative electrode must be connected to the negative side of the power supply in order for the capacitor to function properly.

The 45mm x 10mm 672D157F015CG4I is rated at 15V and offers a high capacitance value of 15,000uF. This makes it ideal for use in a wide range of DC-powered applications such as power supplies, audio amplifiers, telecommunications systems and home appliances.

The working principle of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is quite simple. When a voltage is applied across the two electrodes, the electrolyte solution allows for a current to flow between the two electrodes due to the electrochemical reaction. This results in a charge buildup on the positive electrode which, in turn, generates an electrostatic field which opposes the applied voltage.

The magnitude of the charge buildup, and thus the capacitance value, is dependent on the area of the electrodes and the distance between them. In the case of the 672D157F015CG4I, the large surface area of the electrode and the small gap between the two electrodes allows for the high capacitance value of 15,000uF.

Overall, aluminum electrolytic capacitors such as the 672D157F015CG4I are an excellent choice for a wide range of DC-powered applications. They are inexpensive, offer relatively high capacitance values compared to other types of capacitors, and have a simple working principle.
