Working Principle of MAL212316689E3 Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The working principle of MAL212316689E3 aluminum electrolytic capacitor is based on the principle of electrochemistry. This type of capacitor consists of two aluminum plates separated by a paper or metal dielectric. The negative plate is covered with an oxide layer, the positive plate is covered with an etchable aluminum layer, and the paper dielectric holds the electrolyte in place.

When electricity is applied, electrons flow from the negative to the positive plate, creating an electric field. This electric field creates an electrical charge, which is stored on the capacitor. The capacity of the capacitor depends on the size of the plates, the dielectric material, and the electrolyte.

It is important to note that this type of capacitor can only pass AC currents and is not suitable for direct current applications. Furthermore, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are prone to time-dependent aging processes such as increasing leakage currents and ESR. Therefore, it is important to monitor the capacitor\'s performance to ensure that it is working correctly and doesn’t exceed its specified ratings.
