Montevideo Super Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor

What is the capacitance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

The capacitance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is defined by the surface of the aluminum anode foil. This surface is maximized by special etching processes, giving these capacitors the highest volumetric capacitance of all capacitor technologies and thus an attractive cost per capacitance ratio.

What is a polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor?

Markings may vary based on case sizes, please review datasheets for specific details. A polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor contains two electrodes of aluminum foil with a layer of aluminum oxide and isolator between them, containing a solid conductive polymer material that improves performance like ESR, endurance, ripple current, and more.

What is the anode of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor?

The anode of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an aluminum foil of extreme purity. The effective surface area of this foil is greatly enlarged (by a factor of up to 200) by electrochemical etching in order to achieve the maximum possible capacitance values.

What are polar non-solid aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

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.
