Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a type of capacitor that have an electrolyte-impregnated paper or other dielectric medium sandwiched between two aluminum foils. They are usually used to store or pass electric charge, such as storing or passing signals, or storing energy for use in circuits. Common capacitance values range from about 1,000 microfarads (μF) to about 10,000 μF. ELXS251VSN561MR25S is one of the aluminum electrolytic capacitors.

Application Field

ELXS251VSN561MR25S aluminum electrolytic capacitors are mainly used in decoupling and smoothing circuits, timing circuits and filter circuits. In decoupling and smoothing circuits and filter circuits, they have the ability to filter and reduce the ripples present in the DC voltages by smoothing out fast rises and fall in transient signals. In timing circuits, they are used to store charge required to start a function and control time delay. They are most often used to compensate for AC power line noise, EMI, and voltage spikes. ELXS251VSN561MR25S capacitors are frequently used in power supplies, motor drives, audio amplifiers, and broadcast transmission circuits.

Working Principle

ELXS251VSN561MR25S aluminum electrolytic capacitors use a chemical reaction of the electrolyte with two metal foil electrodes, a cathode (negative) and an anode (positive), to store charge and limit current. The capacitor is polarized, meaning that the two electrodes have a voltage difference. When a voltage difference is applied or removed, current flows in and out of the electrodes. Inside the electrolyte, ions are generated and form an electrical bridge between the two electrodes. The thicker the dielectric is, the higher the capacitance. When the voltage is removed, the electrical bridge breaks and the ions cease to flow, and the capacitor stores a charge.

The capacitance of an ELXS251VSN561MR25S aluminum electrolytic capacitor is determined by the size and properties of the dielectric. The dielectric is normally made of an electrolyte impregnation paper, which gives capacitors made with it a very high operating voltage, typically between 150 to 500 volts. The higher the voltage rating, the greater the capacitance, since the dielectric is thicker and more uniform. The larger the dielectric size, the more charge it can store and the higher the capacitance.

Main Advantages and Disadvantages

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have some main advantages and disadvantages that should be considered when selecting them for any application. They are generally efficient, cost effective and have a high capacitance. They offer a wide range of operating voltages, from low to very high and are usually very robust. The disadvantage of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is that they are subject to leakage, leakage currents and shortening of their lifespan as the electrolyte ages.

Due to their advantages and disadvantages, ELXS251VSN561MR25S aluminum electrolytic capacitors are often the choice of component in applications that require large amounts of capacitance and high ripple currents in a compact size. They can be utilized in power supplies, motor drives, audio amplifiers, broadcast transmission circuits, and other electronics requiring very high capacitance values in a small size. Despite their limitations, they are an ideal choice for these types of applications.
