Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are some of the most popular capacitors used across a wide range of applications due to their relatively low cost and wide range of available capacitance values. They are cylindrical in shape and are constructed with two aluminum foils separated by a paper spacer which is soaked in an electrolytic solution. This solution acts as dielectric which increases the amount of charge that can be stored and also acts as a conductor to allow current to flow.

The AVS227M50G24B-F is one of these Aluminum electrolytic capacitors. It is a radial leaded capacitor with a diameter of 22mm and a height of 7.5mm. The capacitance is 50µF and the rated voltage is 25V. The applications for this particular capacitor are mainly high voltage DC power supplies and energy storage, snubber circuits and motor running applications.

The working principle of this capacitor is largely dependent upon the choice of the electrolyte used to create the dielectric layer. The capacitance value of the AVS227M50G24B-F is determined by the size of the aluminum foil and the surface area of the body of the capacitor which is covered by the electrolyte. The higher the capacitance the bigger the number of aluminum foil layers within the capacitor and the surface area of the body of the capacitor.

When two different voltage sources are connected to the capacitor, electrons are attracted onto the aluminum foil which is connected to the negative terminal. This sets up an electric field between the two metal plates, and when voltage is applied to the capacitor, the free electrons from the negative plate will flow across the dielectric layer and accumulate on the positive plate. As the electrons accumulate on the positive plate, a difference in potential between the two plates is created and stored in the form of energy. This energy is then discharged when the voltage is removed.

The AVS227M50G24B-F is a reliable piece of technology that provides a high capacitance value for its relatively low cost. It is also a popular choice for its wide range of applications such as DC power supplies, snubber circuits and motor running applications.
