ALS70U104NT100

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors (also called aluminium electrolytics or electrolytic aluminium capacitors) are polarized capacitors whose anode electrode is made of a metal with a work function compatible with the electrolyte and whose cathode is an aluminum oxide layer which serves as the dielectric. Invented in 1914 by J. J. Couch, they are used for power supply smoothing and as high-frequency coupling capacitors. They are commonly used in a wide variety of electronic equipment, including laptop computers, video game consoles, television sets, car audio systems, and more.

The ALS70U104NT100 is a surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor that is manufactured by Illinois Capacitor. This capacitor is rated for a temperature of between -55°C and 85°C, up to 1.5kVdc, with a maximum capacitance of 470μF and working voltage of 100V. It also has an improved shelf life as compared to other capacitors.

Working with an aluminum oxide film as the dielectric, the ALS70U104NT100 capacitor is electrolytically-formed with anodized aluminum as the anode. The anode is then sealed into a hermetically-sealed stainless steel can, providing improved long-term performance. This capacitor is insulated with a high-voltage insulation sleeve, which also prevents leakage and prevents shorting. The capacitor is also designed to maintain low ESR and high quality. The combination of these features makes this capacitor ideal for use in high power applications.

The ALS70U104NT100 capacitor is used in a variety of applications including high-efficiency DC/DC power supplies, AC/DC power conversion, PI bus power management, and more. It is especially beneficial when used in high frequency resonant converters, voltage regulation systems, as well as power factor correction (PFC) circuits. The capacitor is also highly reliable and has a long life span and low failure rate.

In terms of the working principle of the Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, the process begins with a layer of aluminum oxide dielectric material that is applied to the anode. This layer acts as an insulator and prevents the aluminum from being directly exposed to the electrolyte solution. The electrolyte solution then penetrates through the oxide layer, resulting in a build-up of ions that build up on the oxide layer and accumulate a positive charge. This charge is known as the anodic reaction, and it creates an electric field that is capable of storing electrical energy. The energy is then released when a current is applied. This working principle is also why Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are usually polarity-sensitive.

Overall, the ALS70U104NT100 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is a reliable and efficient choice when it comes to providing power to a variety of applications. With a long shelf life, low ESR, and high quality characteristics, it is perfect for use in high power applications that demand high performance. Through its working principle, the capacitor is able to effectively store electrical energy, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
