Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, also known as electrolytic capacitors, are passive devices used to store electrical energy for a short period of time. They are an essential component in many electronics systems because they offer high capacitance values in small sizes and are relatively inexpensive. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are divided into two categories: polar and non-polar. Polar capacitors are characterized by a positive and negative terminal, while non-polar capacitors are characterized by two equal terminals that can be connected either way. The AFK108M25H32B-F is an example of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

AFK108M25H32B-F Application Field and Working Principle

The AFK108M25H32B-F is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor commonly used in audio output stages and power supplies. It is a 63V, 25mF, O-ring sealed, radial leaded electrolytic capacitor with an operating temperature of -55 to +105 degrees Celsius. The capacitor is designed with a polymeric capacitor element that helps reduce dissipation factor and increases temperature capability. The O-ring seal helps keep the capacitor from leaking even in harsh environmental conditions. The AFK108M25H32B-F is available in a variety of sizes and shapes depending on application requirements.

An aluminum electrolytic capacitors works by storing charge on its two plates. This charge is then discharged when the capacitor is connected to a circuit. The AFK108M25H32B-F capacitor stores charge by using an electrolyte solution that reacts with the aluminum surface of the plates. This electrolyte solution is energized which causes electrical ions to move to the positive and negative charges on the plates. The positive and negative charges attract the ions, creating a charge separated state. When this capacitor is connected to a circuit, current flows through the capacitor and causes this charge to be discharged. This current flow across the capacitor creates a voltage drop, known as the capacitor’s ESR.

The AFK108M25H32B-F is well-suited for applications that require a low-resistance capacitor solution. The low ESR lets it handle higher current loads and provide better ripple noise reduction, making it an ideal choice for audio output stages. Its O-ring sealed construction makes it highly resistant to water and other liquids, making it suitable for applications in damp environments and outdoor applications. It can also handle high temperatures, making it suitable for use in automotive applications.

The AFK108M25H32B-F is a versatile aluminum electrolytic capacitor that can be used in a variety of applications. Its low ESR, high temperature capability, and O-ring seal make it an ideal choice for audio output stages, power supplies, automotive applications, and applications in damp environments. It is available in a variety of sizes and shapes to meet design needs.
