1. General Description of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors An aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of cathode aluminum foil, capacitor paper (electrolytic paper), electrolyte, and an aluminum oxide layer, which acts as the dielectric, formed on the anode foil surface.
A 0.05~0.11 mm thick anode foil and a 0.02~0.05 mm thick cathode foil are continuously etched electrochemically in a chloride solution with an AC or DC current. This enlarges the effective surface area of the aluminum foils to attain smaller capacitor sizes. The process develops aluminum oxide (Al203) to form a capacitor dielectric.
This guide covers the application of polar, non-solid aluminum electrolytic capacitors, which are those aluminum electrolytic capacitors featuring a wet, aqueous electrolyte with separator membranes such as cellulosic papers between two aluminum foils.
If both the anode and cathode foils have an oxide film, the capacitors would be bipolar (non-pola) type capacitor. These technical notes refer to "non-solid" aluminum electrolytic construction in which the electrolytic paper is impregnated with liquid electrolyte.
Other types of aluminum electrolytic capacitors not cov-ered include the obsolete wet types without separator mem-branes, “hybrid” aluminum electrolytic capacitors containing both polymer and liquid electrolyte components and sol-id-polymer electrolytic capacitors.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitor construction delivers colossal capacitance because etching the foils can increase surface area more than 100 times and the aluminum-oxide dielectric is less than a micrometer thick. Thus the resulting capacitor has very large plate area and the plates are intensely close together.
