Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are some of the most commonly used capacitors in the electronic industry. They are used as an energy storage device and are especially useful when relatively high capacitance values are required in a small package.

The ELXZ630EC3331MK20S is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor that is used for decoupling and filtering in telecommunications and power applications. This capacitor has a long lifespan, making it ideal for most power applications. It is also relatively low cost, making it a popular choice for many applications.

Application Field

The ELXZ630EC3331MK20S aluminium electrolytic capacitor offers high capacitance-voltage ratings and is most typically employed in power supplies, DC-DC converters, telecommunications, computer hardware, and electrical audio equipment. The device is also ideal for accentuating the high frequencies for metering applications. This capacitor is used in ripple filtering, decoupling, energy storage, and to create tuned circuits.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors consist of an anode that is made of pure aluminum, cathode made of a mixture of aluminum oxide and metal ions, and an electrolyte solution consisting of a solvent and acid that serves as the medium for ionic conduction. The anode and cathode are separated and connected to external circuit terminals through a dielectric material that acts as the insulator.

The electrons from the external circuit flow through the anode and travel through the electrolyte solution onto the cathode. This creates an electric field in the dielectric between the anode and cathode, forming a closed electric circuit. The electric charge stored in the aluminum electrolytic capacitor can only be released when the anode is connected to the cathode, allowing the electrons to flow.

The ELXZ630EC3331MK20S has two important properties - an operating temperature of -55 to +105 °C, and an impregnant that works for an extended life. Its various characteristics make it suitable for various applications such as communications, automation, power transmission and distribution, automotive, and consumer electronics.
