Working Principle

The working principle of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is simple. When a potential difference is applied across two conductors, the current caused by the applied voltage will flow from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte, causing a charge buildup between them. As a result, a small electrical charge accumulates on the electrolyte, and this charge opposes the current flow, creating a capacitance which acts as a buffer. The capacitance of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is determined by the capacitance value of the electrolyte and the surface area of the aluminum plates.

In conclusion, the MAL210217222E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a high-quality component with a variety of features, making it ideal for use in all kinds of automotive, industrial, LED lighting, computer, microwave oven, and audio/video equipment applications, and any circuits requiring precision capacitors.
