It has superior temperature, vibration and electrical characteristics compared to other electrolytic capacitor terminations. Aluminum - polymer capacitors are popular in a variety of applications, primarily small, low power applications such as those found in consumer electronics, communication and industrial equipment.

Application Field

Aluminum-polymer capacitors are especially suitable for use in a variety of applications, such as industrial electronics and signal processing systems, avionics, automotive electronics, medical and telecom equipment, control and display circuits, electronic measurement and control systems and radar systems. Besides these applications, aluminum-polymer capacitors are also used in audio/video equipment, communication systems, LED lighting, personal computers, smartphones and tablets. In addition to general-purpose applications, aluminum-polymer capacitors can also be used in applications requiring high capacitance in a very small format. These capacitors are capable of offering low equivalent series resistance and long lifetime, making them ideal for automotive, computer and telecommunications applications.

Working Principle

Aluminum-polymer capacitors are based on a three-layer construction, using a special polymer electrolyte as the dielectric medium. The main components used in these capacitors are the aluminum foil, a separator and the electrolyte. The separator is used to isolate the aluminum foil from the electrolyte. The aluminum foil acts as the positive electrode, the separator acts as the dielectric, and the electrolyte serves as the negative electrode. The aluminum-polymer capacitor is typically formed by winding aluminum foil and separator around a spindle and then impregnated with the electrolyte. The working principle of an aluminum-polymer capacitor is relatively simple. When a voltage is applied across the electrodes, electron movement causes a charge build-up on the positive electrode. As the charge builds up, it creates a capacitor that stores energy and interacts with the electrolyte. The charge is then discharged as the capacitor releases energy and electrons move to balance out the charge. This process is repeated over and over again with each cycle.
