Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
The aluminum electrolytic capacitor (electrolytic capacitor) is one of the most frequently used capacitor types in electronic circuits. Especially for filtering and smoothing of rectified AC voltages or for buffering and intermediate storage of electrical charges, they are often a key element in DC intermediate circuits, inverters, voltage supplies and at circuits inputs & outputs. They are also frequently used in combination with other components to build filter circuits or crossovers in the audio field.
Compared to other capacitor technologies, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a very good capacitance/volume ratio. It is therefore used when high capacitance is required in combination with small dimensions. Progressive miniaturization is also showing two main trends in this area:
- Higher load capacity (ripple currents, temperature, etc.) with consistent designs
- Comparable performance in ever smaller designs
This means that space on the board and thus costs can be saved by selecting the right component. Today's increasingly frequent desire for component reduction places ever higher demands on the performance of such capacitors.
