Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are one of the most common types of capacitors available. These capacitors use an electrolyte to store electrical charge in a series of parallel plates separated by an insulating material. The basic construction consists of two metal plates separated by an electrolyte made of aluminum oxide. The aluminum oxide layer provides an effective dielectric between the two plates, allowing the capacitor to hold a charge despite being in an alternating current (AC) circuit.

The CGO453M7R5L is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor which belongs to a subcategory referred to as “wet” or “oil filled” capacitors. They have a higher capacity than comparable size aluminum electrolytic capacitors and also have the advantage of being able to handle higher voltage. They are typically used in power supplies, audio systems, and other applications requiring a high capacitance value.

Working Principle of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The working principle of aluminum electrolytic capacitors depends on the electric field in the capacitor. When a voltage is applied between the terminals of the capacitor, an electric field is created between the plates, producing an attraction force on the ions in the electrolyte solution. These ions form an electrical bridge between the two plates, allowing current to flow. This current creates a potential difference between the plates, resulting in the formation of an electric field in the capacitor. The electric field increases as the voltage increases, producing an opposing force on the ions in the electrolyte. Eventually the force becomes large enough to overcome the attraction of the ions, and they are repelled from the plates, reducing the current flow and the electric field in the capacitor. This electric field is responsible for the capacitance of the capacitor.

Application Fields for the CGO453M7R5L

The CGO453M7R5L is mainly used in applications that require high ripple current and very low equivalent series resistance (ESR). It has an operating voltage of 50V and a capacity of 10μF, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The CGO453M7R5L is most commonly used in electric and electronic equipment, such as power supplies, air conditioners, and robots. It is also suitable for automotive onboard components and home appliances. It can also be used in audio systems, as it has a very low equivalent series resistance, producing less distortion and providing better sound quality.

In addition to these application fields, the CGO453M7R5L aluminum electrolytic capacitor can also be used in telecommunications, military equipment, medical equipment, and other specialized applications.

Conclusion

Overall, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are one of the most commonly used types of capacitors due to their high capacitance, relatively low cost, and good durability. The CGO453M7R5L aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a high-performance capacitor with a high ripple current and very low equivalent series resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
