This particular capacitor is designed to handle high-frequency applications and offer a wide range of operation voltages. Before we discuss the specific application fields and working principles of the ELXV160EC5121MFB5D, let us first understand what an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is and how it works.

What is an Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor?

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor that uses an electrolyte solution combined with an aluminum oxide foil as the dielectric medium. The aluminum oxide foil acts as the dielectric permeability between the two electrodes where one is the anode and the other is the cathode. In between the two electrodes, the electrolyte provides the necessary electron and ion conduction. This type of capacitor is usually polarized, meaning that one terminal of the capacitor must be connected to a positive voltage and the other to a negative voltage to be correctly operated.

How Does an Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor Work?

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor works by operating with the electrical field generated by the positive and negative electrodes. This created a capacitance between the electrodes, which is the ability of the capacitor to store energy in the form of an electric field. The dielectric medium, usually aluminum oxide, between the electrodes creates an insulation layer that determines the capacitance value and operating voltage of the capacitor. The resistance of the electrolyte also affects the performance of the capacitor.
