Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, commonly referred to as “electrolytic capacitors”, are categorized as electrochemical capacitors because of their unique structure that uses a nonaqueous electrolytic solution as the dielectric medium. Amongst all electrochemical capacitors, aluminum electrolytic capacitors provide the highest value of electrostatic capacitance. What’s more, they remain cost-efficient and have a wide range of applications.

B41043A2278M aluminum electrolytic capacitors are medium-sized capacitors suitable for a range of general purposes, such as energy storage, power transmission, filtering, decoupling and voltage regulation. These capacitors have an operating temperature of -40°C to 85°C and a capacitance of 4,700μF. In terms of capacitor size, this model has a total component length of 10mm and a can diameter of 10mm. B41043A2278M is a polarized, non-surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

The working principle of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor follows three main steps: first, an ionic current will pass through the capacitor\'s anode and cathode, which will create an electric field. This electric field is then responsible for causing an accumulation of charge carriers within the electrolytic usually in the form of aluminum ions. Finally, the capacitance is increased when the free charges of the aluminum ions reduce as they react with the electrolytic material inside the capacitor. As a result, the capacitance is proportional to the area of the anode, the thickness of the electrolytic material in the dielectric as well as the operating voltage.

Apart from the main three applications mentioned earlier, aluminum electrolytic capacitors come with a wide array of uses. B41043A2278M aluminum electrolytic capacitors are suitable for many applications which require medium-sized components, such as automotive electronics, digital TVs, computers, medical equipment, and many more. Moreover, its wide operating temperature range and higher capacitance per unit volume makes B41043A2278M aluminum electrolytic capacitor an ideal choice for many different applications.

In conclusion, aluminum electrolytic capacitors feature a wide range of applications including energy storage, power transmission, filtering, decoupling and voltage regulation. B41043A2278M aluminum electrolytic capacitors are particularly cost-efficient and suitable for a range of applications while boasting a wide operating temperature range and a high capacitance per unit volume.
