Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors (AECs) are passive electronic components that store energy in the form of electrical charge. As their name implies, they consist of two aluminum plates separated by a thin insulating film of microporous oxide. The oxide layer allows the two plates to form a capacitor-type storage device which is charged by the application of electrical voltage. AECs are used in a wide range of applications, including power factor correction, energy storage, filtering circuits, circuit protection, and motor drives.
