Working Principle

The ALS80H163NJ200 aluminum electrolytic capacitor works on the same principle as all other aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which is the form an electric double layer on an oxide film. The capacitor consists of an electrolyte, an anode and a cathode. The anode is a metal oxide layer composed of aluminum oxide and the cathode is an aluminum plate. The electrolyte separates the two plates and carries a positive electric charge. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, an electric field is formed in the electrolyte and the two plates are charged. This assembly provides a large capacitance with a small size and enables the ALS80H163NJ200 capacitor to achieve high working voltages with low leakage currents.
