The capacitor\'s maximum operating temperature is 105°C, making it suitable for use in more extreme environments where a higher temperature range is needed.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors work by using an anode foil covered by an electrolytic solution. The electrolytic solution is then separated from the anode by a dielectric material, and a cathode foil is connected to the other side of the electrolyte. The capacitance, or ability to store electrical energy, of an electrolytic capacitor is determined by the area of the two metal surfaces, the distance between them, and the dielectricconstant of the electrolyte. When a voltage is applied, electrons follow the electric field from the cathode to the anode. Therefore, charge builds up on the anode, and becomes stored as electric energy.
