Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Electrolytic capacitors, often simply known as electrolytic or electrolytics, are capacitors with a dielectric consisting of an anode with a thin layer of oxide, a metal that generally acts as an electrolyte and a cathode. They have a significantly higher capacitance by volume compared to other types of capacitor and are frequently used in power supplies and transient suppression. These capacitors are used in a wide variety of applications, including power supplies, vibration protection, temperature compensation, and sound filtering.

EKMH500VSN472MR30S application field and working principle

The EKMH500VSN472MR30S capacitor is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor with non-polarized axial leads. It has a high current handling capacity of 30A, making it suitable for use in high current applications. It is also characterized by a high ripple current, up to 72A. It is used in high frequency application, such as switching circuits, where a large capacitance is required.

The EKMH500VSN472MR30S works on the principle of electrolysis, a process where a given voltage potential creates an electric current in the electrolyte solution between two electrodes. In the case of electrolytic capacitors, an oxide of anode material forms the dielectric acting as the insulator between the two electrodes. When potential is applied across the two electrodes, an electric current is produced in the form of a voltage drop across the plate. The magnitude of the voltage drop depends on the capacitance of the electrolytic capacitor.
