Working Principle

The ALS80C752QH400 aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of two thin aluminum foils, which are anode and cathode respectively. These foils are spread open and immersed in a liquid electrolyte. The electrolyte serves as an electrically conducting ionic medium, allowing current to flow between the two foils. An electric field is then established between the two foils, creating a large capacitance. This process is known as electrolysis.

When voltage is applied to the two foils, the thin aluminum foil anode is oxidized, forming an insulating layer of oxide. This layer helps to increase the amount of capacitance between the two foils, which increases the overall capacitance of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor. The amount of capacitance achieved depends on the surface area of the anode foil, the thickness of the electrolyte, and the electrical charge in the electrolyte.

Conclusion

The ALS80C752QH400 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a reliable and low profile axial-lead polarized capacitor, designed for use in high temperature operating environments. It is suitable for various applications, including switch mode power supplies, automotive electronics, medical equipment, industrial equipment, robotic controllers, and battery-operated consumer electronics, due its high capacitance, high voltage, and low cost. The working principle of this capacitor is based on the electrolytic process, allowing it to deliver increased capacitance due to the presence of an insulating oxide layer.
