Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a type of capacitor consisting of a foil on which an oxide layer has been formed and two other conducting electrodes which are used to connect the capacitor to the surrounding electrical circuit. They are most commonly used to store electrical energy, as well as to provide an electrical path between two electrical terminals.

The EEE-FK1J220XP aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an example of this type of capacitor. It possesses an insulation thickness of 0.065 inches and an operating temperature range of -25 to 85 degrees Celsius. It is also characterized by a capacitance value of 220uF, a rated voltage of 10V, and a leakage current of 0.02CV in an operating temperature range of 85 degrees Celsius.

Application Field

The EEE-FK1J220XP aluminum electrolytic capacitor finds use in a variety of applications, mainly as a bypass or coupling capacitor. It is commonly used in amplifiers, power supplies, and any other applications that require the bypassing or coupling of AC or DC current. Due to its low ESR, the EEE-FK1J220XP can also be used in timing or snubber circuits.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors work by storing electrical energy in its aluminum electrode. When a potential difference is applied between the two electrodes, a reaction between the two opposing electrodes creates an electric field, which results in a charge imbalance across the two electrodes. This charge imbalance then creates the electric field necessary to store electrical energy.

When the positive and negative electrodes are connected to a circuit, electrons are allowed to flow freely through the capacitor. The electrons flow freely as a function of the capacitor’s capacitance, leakage current, and ESR. When the current is ceased, the capacitor retains the charge on its electrodes and is able to discharge it when a current is re-applied.

Conclusion

The EEE-FK1J220XP aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an extremely useful component for applications that require fast and reliable bypass and coupling functionality. Its small size and low ESR allow it to be used in a variety of circuits, from amplifiers to power supplies. Its working principle is also relatively simple, making it an easily understandable type of capacitor.
