870235375009 Capacitors

Aluminum - Polymer Capacitors

Aluminum - Polymer Capacitors (870235375009) are a type of electrolytic capacitor that utilizes two electrochemical processes, namely oxidation and electrolysis, to create a polarized electrical storage unit. The two processes are dependent on a dielectric material, such as polymer, to act as an insulating barrier to prevent a short circuit. Aluminum is the main component of an aluminum-polymer capacitor, and it is deployed to act as the electrical storage medium. The second component of the device, the polymer, serves multiple purposes - primarily, it acts as the dielectric layer between the aluminum strips, and secondly, it provides stiffness.

Application Field of 870235375009

Aluminum-Polymer Capacitors are usually used for computer systems, digital audio, industrial devices, and military electronics, due to their high efficiency, uniformity, and durability. The capacitor is usually employed to store electrical energy and to act as a buffer between the electrical flow from one component to another. Furthermore, the capacitor can provide extra current during peak loads, and can even act as a circuit breaker to protect against power surges.

Features & Benefits of 870235375009

In comparison to other types of capacitors such as aluminum-electrolytic and tantalum-electrolytic, the cost and size of aluminum-polymer capacitors is significantly lower.The size of the device can range from 1 to 20 mm, and the construction of the device is much more reliable than other types of capacitors, as it utilizes the two electrochemical processes mentioned earlier to ensure performance. Aluminum-Polymer capacitors also demonstrate greater temperature stability and durability than other devices in its class, and with these features, the device can be applied to a wide range of applications.

Working Principle of 870235375009

Aluminum-Polymer capacitors are constructed with an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte medium (the anode is the aluminum layer and the cathode is the polymer layer). When voltage is applied to the anode, a reaction occurs at the anode\'s surface that creates an electrolytic current, which saturates the polymer layer and creates a double electric layer. This process creates a polarized electrical field, which is able to store electrical energy. The stored energy can later be discharged through the reverse process, which results in the production of electricity.

Advantages & Drawbacks of 870235375009

Advantages of the 870235375009 aluminum-polymer capacitor include high temperature stability, durability, uniformity, and low cost and size. The device is able to store electrical energy for long periods of time, and it can act as a buffer between different components in a system, which helps to reduce power surges. Its ability to act as a circuit breaker prevents the system from being damaged by a sudden rush of electricity.

However, the device is limited by its limited capacity, as compared to other types of capacitors in the market. In addition, aluminum-polymer capacitors require some care when handling due to their sensitive construction. Lastly, they are not as popular as other types of capacitors due to the complexity of producing the device.
