Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are capacitors that use aluminum foil as electrodes, form an aluminum oxide film on the electrode surface as a medium through an electrolytic oxidation process, and are encapsulated with an electrolyte and a shell. A layer of oxide film is formed on the positive electrode as a medium through DC voltage treatment. The characteristics of aluminum electrolytic capacitors are large capacity, but large leakage, poor stability, and positive and negative poles. They are suitable for power supply filtering or low-frequency circuits. When using, be sure to pay attention to the correct connection of the positive and negative poles, otherwise, it will cause damage to the capacitor.
The structure of aluminum electrolytic capacitors includes anode (aluminum tube), cathode aluminum layer, and electrolyte. The anode is composed of an aluminum tube, and the cathode is composed of an aluminum strip and oxide film. The paper between the two aluminum layers is soaked with electrolytes to ensure the normal operation of the capacitor. The application scenarios of aluminum electrolytic capacitors are mainly power supply filtering, low-frequency circuits, etc. Due to its large capacity but poor stability, it is not suitable for high-frequency circuits or occasions with high stability requirements.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have a wide range of uses, mainly including energy storage, filtering, compensation and circuit protection. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors play an important role in electronic circuits. They can pass AC and block DC, and have the functions of filtering, bypassing, coupling and fast charging and discharging. They are also small in size, have large storage capacity and are cost-effective.
Specifically, aluminum electrolytic capacitors have important applications in the following aspects:
1. DC isolation: The function is to prevent DC from passing through and allow AC to pass through.
2. Bypass (decoupling): Provide a low-impedance path for certain parallel components in the AC circuit.
3. Coupling: As a connection between two circuits, it allows AC signals to pass through and transmit to the next level circuit.
4. Filtering: Convert the sawtooth wave after rectification into a smooth pulsating wave, which is close to DC. Energy storage: Store electrical energy and release it when necessary.
5. Decoupling: Provide a low-impedance path for certain parallel components in the AC circuit to remove unnecessary AC signals.
6. Temperature compensation: Compensate for the impact of other components’ insufficient adaptability to temperature and improve the stability of the circuit.
7. Timing: Capacitors are used in conjunction with resistors to determine the time constant of the circuit.
8. Tuning: System tuning of frequency-related circuits such as mobile phones, radios, and televisions.
9. Energy storage: Store electrical energy and release it when necessary, such as camera flashes.
