Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

1. Overview

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are polarized capacitors using an aluminum oxide layer as the dielectric medium. They consist of an aluminum anode, electrolyte solution, and cathode. These capacitors offer high capacitance values (1 F-2.7F) with relatively compact size, making them essential components in power supply filtering, signal decoupling, and energy storage applications. Their evolution has enabled miniaturization in electronics while maintaining performance in harsh environments.

2. Main Types and Functional Classification

Type Functional Characteristics Application Examples
Radial Lead Type Vertical mounting with dual leads Consumer electronics power supplies
SMD Type Surface-mount design for PCB integration Computer motherboards
Stud Mount Type High-current screw terminal design Industrial inverters
Bi-polar Type Able to withstand reverse voltage Motor drive circuits

3. Structure and Composition

Typical construction includes: - Anode Foil: High-purity aluminum with etched surface (100-600m /m effective area) - Dielectric Layer: 0.1-0.8 m thick aluminum oxide (Al O ) - Electrolyte: Ammonium borate solution in organic solvent - Cathode Foil: 50-100 m aluminum sheet - Separator Paper: 50 m thick kraft paper soaked in electrolyte - Aluminum Case: 0.5-2.0mm thick stamped enclosure

4. Key Technical Specifications

Parameter Description Importance
Capacitance (C) 1 F-2.7F (120Hz measurement) Determines filtering effectiveness
Rated Voltage (UR) 6.3V-630V DC working range Failure risk above limit
ESR 5m -1.5 at 100kHz Affects switching performance
Ripple Current 100mA-5A RMS Lifetime predictor
Leakage Current 0.01C UR A maximum Power efficiency factor
Operating Temp -55 C to +150 C range Reliability indicator

5. Application Fields

  • Power Electronics: Switching power supplies, UPS systems
  • Consumer Devices: TVs, gaming consoles, LED lighting
  • Industrial: Variable frequency drives, welding machines
  • Automotive: On-board chargers, ADAS systems
  • Renewables: Solar inverters, wind turbine converters

6. Leading Manufacturers

Manufacturer Headquarters Representative Product
Nichicon Japan UPW Series (105 C, 2000h)
Rubycon Japan ZL Series (Low ESR 4m )
United Chemi-Con USA KXJ Series (630V rating)
Samxon Taiwan EEU-FR Series (Conductive polymer hybrid)

7. Selection Guidelines

Consider these factors: - Required capacitance tolerance ( 20% standard) - Voltage derating (select 1.25 operating voltage) - Temperature range (automotive requires -40 C to +150 C) - Vibration resistance (screw-terminal better than SMD) - Lifetime calculation: Lx = L0 (T0/ T) (UR/UX) - RoHS compliance for environmental regulations

Industry Trends

Current developments include: - Conductive polymer hybrid capacitors (30% ESR reduction) - Nanoscale dielectric engineering (<0.1 m oxide layers) - AI-driven lifetime prediction models - Bio-compatible electrolyte formulations - 4D printing of anode structures - Integration with PCB substrates

Application Case

In a 3kW server power supply, 4x 450V/470 F capacitors in parallel provide 2220 F total capacitance with 14Arms ripple current handling. The design uses Nichicon U3 series devices with 6.5mm lead spacing, operating at 120 C with 95% voltage derating, achieving 8000-hour MTBF.
