Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are one of the most commonly used types of electrolytic capacitors and are utilized in a wide range of applications.These capacitors are used whenever higher voltage and higher capacitance than available with film based capacitors are needed. The ELXY350ELL102ML20S aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a very common type of capacitor that is used in a variety of applications.

Application Field

The ELXY350ELL102ML20S aluminum electrolytic capacitor is great for use in filtering power supplies and in power supply circuits. It is often used in filter banks and AC power circuits, and is suitable for use with standard AC power systems. This type of capacitor is also used in dynamic applications that require high frequency or high-current capability. It is used in applications such as video cameras, audio amplifiers, switching power supplies, and other AC/DC applications where high frequency merit is needed.

Working Principle

The most common type of electrolytic capacitor is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. It is constructed with two metal plates and an electrolytic electrolyte. The negative plate is made from aluminum foil with a thin insulating oxide film, which acts as a dielectric and insulates the plate from the other. The positive plate, which is also made from aluminum, is submerged in the electrolyte and is more conductive than the negative plate. This type of capacitor has a capacitance that is several times higher than typical ceramic capacitors, and it has a high equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high temperature tolerance.

The capacitor stores electrical energy by forming an electric field between the two plates. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, the electric field increases and the stored energy increases. The capacitor is then able to deliver current when the applied voltage is decreased, by allowing the stored energy to be discharged. This process is reversible and the energy can be discharged and recharged, allowing the capacitor to be used for a wide range of dynamic applications.

The ELXY350ELL102ML20S aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an immensely versatile part that is widely used in various applications. With its high capacitance, temperature tolerance, and dynamic capability, it is suited for use in filtering power supplies, dynamic circuits, and AC/DC applications.
