Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, also known as Al-electro caps, are a type of electrolytic capacitor which consists of two aluminum foils, an electrolyte and an oxide layer. The aluminum foil acts as the anode and the oxide layer acts as the cathode. The electrolyte provides the conduction of current between the two foil layers. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are typically polarized and have a wide range of capacitances and voltage ratings.

The aluminum electrolytic capacitor model number 860241178003 is a radial leaded capacitor with a voltage rating of 16 vdc and a capacitance of 2200 uF (microfarads). It offers a wide temperature range, and is designed for high ripple current applications. The capacitor is also designed for high temperature and humidity application, with an extended life when submerged in oil.

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor works by forming an oxide layer between its two metal plates. As an electric current passes through the capacitor, it causes a reverse (positive) current along the plates. This oxidation reaction produces a dielectric, or insulating, layer which stores electric charge and prevents it from leaking current. The capacitor\'s capacitance is determined by the size of the oxide layer and the voltage rating is determined by the thickness of the oxide layer.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors can be used in both AC and DC circuits and are the preferred choice for high-voltage applications due to their superior voltage handling capabilities. They are commonly used in a wide variety of electronics such as amplifiers, motors, computers, audio systems and power supplies. They are also used in automotive and other industrial equipment.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are also one of the most popular types of capacitors for use in rechargeable batteries. Their high capacitance and low leakage enable them to store and release energy very quickly, making them ideal for fast charging applications such as electric vehicles, cordless tools and cell phones.

For applications requiring high voltage operation, aluminum electrolytic capacitors with voltage ratings greater than 16 vdc are available. In addition, Al-electro caps are also available in a wide range of sizes and shapes to suit various demanding applications. Despite their high performance capabilities, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are also relatively inexpensive and can be used for most low to moderate voltage applications. When compared with other types of capacitors like ceramic or polyester, their cost is comparable and sometimes even lower.

In summary, model 860241178003 aluminum electrolytic capacitors are designed for high voltage and high ripple current applications, with a voltage rating of 16 vdc and a capacitance of 2200 uF. They are perfect for automotive, industrial and battery applications due to their extended temperature range and long life when submerged in oil. Their relatively low cost and high performance capabilities make them an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
