Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors use an electrolytic solution, usually an oxides of aluminum (Al2O3), and a solid electrolytic anode (usually aluminum or tantalum) to create electrical capacitance. The term aluminum electrolytic capacitors or aluminum electrolytic capacitors refers to capacitors that use an anode made from aluminum and an electrolytic solution to store energy.

Application Field and Working Principle

The MAL204865102E3 is widely used in a variety of electronic applications, such as engine control modules, real time clocks, voltage regulator circuits, and automotive fuel-injection and air management systems. The device uses aluminum electrolytic capacitors to store energy and provide high electrical capacitance in a small form factor. The device uses a thin aluminum oxide layer as the dielectric between the electrodes, which creates a barrier to electric charge, resulting in its capacitive effect. As the stored energy is discharged, the oxide layer degenerates, resulting in its decreased electrical capacitance. Over time, the oxide layer will degrade further, eventually leading to the device\'s failure. In order to ensure reliable performance over its maximum service life, manufacturers of aluminum electrolytic capacitors typically specify a voltage derating profile that must be adhered to in order to maintain the device\'s capacitance.
