Aluminum - Polymer Capacitors

The A700X397M002ATE015 is an aluminum – polymer capacitor, which is a type of capacitor comprising two or more alternating layers of aluminum foil and polymer films that are separated by means of an electrolyte. It is well-known for its long shelf life and is primarily used in the military, aerospace and medical industries.

Application Field and Working Principle:

Aluminum – polymer capacitors are applicable in different industries, such as automotive, consumer electronics, medical, telecommunication and military/aerospace. They are also used in high-voltage transformers, motors and power supplies.

The working principle of aluminum – polymer capacitors is relatively simple. A polymeric material is used as the dielectric to insulate two layers of electrode material made of aluminum foil from each other. When voltage is applied to the structure, electrical charges accumulate and the capacitor stores energy. This helps to reduce the size and mass of the capacitors and makes them suitable for high-voltage applications.

Compared with other capacitors, the aluminum – polymer capacitor offers a number of advantages. It offers a high level of protection against short-circuiting and offers high energy density as well as an extremely long operating life. It is also easily customizable as per requirements.

The important features of aluminum – polymer capacitors include: low equivalent series resistance (ESR), high capacitance-to-volume ratio, high-operating temperature range, wide range of capacitance values, excellent high-frequency response, cost-effective, and low ESR and ESL.

Conclusion:

Aluminum – polymer capacitors have been proven to be a reliable and high-performance solution for many applications in industries such as medical, aerospace and military. They are also highly customizable and are suitable for high-voltage applications as well as high-frequency applications. Moreover, they are cost-effective and offer a long-operating life.
