Working principle

The ELXV101ELL180MF15D aluminum electrolytic capacitors work on the principle of polarization. When an electric field is applied to the two poles of the capacitor, an electric potential is generated, resulting in a separation of opposite charges inside and outside the dielectric layer. The electric field produces a strong attraction between the anodic and cathodic polarities of the capacitor, storing large amounts of electric energy in a compact structure.

The electrolytic capacitor is composed of a cylindrical aluminum housing and a core of aluminum foil. The foil has an oxide layer that produces a non-conductive surface. An electrolyte is inserted into the foil, which functions as the dielectric medium. A thin layer of the electrolyte is sized to fit the inside of the foil. The central core is then rolled up and arranged to form a capacitor.

Lifespan and efficiency

ELXV101ELL180MF15D aluminum electrolytic capacitors have a long product life and are highly efficient. The service life of the capacitors can range from 2000 to 12000 hours at 85°C depending on the type. The capacitors have a temperature coefficient of -15 to -55ppm/°C. They also have a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high capacitance retention.
