Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an energy storage device, commonly used in electronics and electrical applications for peak current demand and better power efficiency. The particular EKMM201VNN561MQ35T carries more power, a longer life than a standard aluminum electrolytic capacitors, and a higher temperature rating.

What Are Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors?

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, commonly referred to as electrolytic capacitors, are polarized capacitors that are extremely useful for applications requiring low inductance, high-temperature properties, and increased capacitor-branching efficiency. This type of capacitor utilizes a solid aluminum oxide layer on an aluminum foil as the dielectric, or insulating layer, and a liquid electrolyte as the conductive material. This allows for higher energy storage capacities than other capacitor types.

Working Principle

The working principle of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is based on the ability of a layer of oxide film on the surface of the aluminum to generate an electric field. This electric field attracts and holds an electric charge, which is used to store energy. As the capacitor stores energy, the electric charge on the surface of the capacitor is stored in the form of energy in the form of an electric field.

The electric charge on the surface of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is determined by the size of the electrolyte gap between the foil and the oxide layer. As the charge increases, the electric field strength increases as well, which in turn increases the capacity of the capacitor. The total amount of energy that can be stored in an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is determined by the size of the oxide layer and the electrolyte gap. The larger the gap between the oxide layer and the foil, the greater the capacity of the capacitor.

Application Field

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are capable of handling high ripple current, high frequencies, and extreme temperatures. These characteristics make them suitable for a wide range of applications, from power supply regulation and motor control to medical imaging, communications, and signal conditioning. This specific capacitor series is designed for power systems and power tools, such as solar panels, UPS, digital AC inverters and DC-DC converters, and also exchangeable power heads.

Due to their high current handling and high power efficiency, aluminum electrolytic capacitors can also be used for automotive, aircraft, and industrial applications, such as LED lighting, motors, and machine control. In these applications, the capacitor’s performance is especially important. This capacitor is also suitable for the protection circuit of rechargeable battery packs, which is increasingly important in the development of Smart deployment.
