Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors Manufacturers

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors use very pure aluminum foil as electrodes, which are wound into a cylinder with an interlayer paper or other porous material that contains the electrolyte. Aluminum ribbon staked to the foil at the minimum inductance location is brought through the insulator to the anode terminal, while the cathode foil is similarly connected to the aluminum case and cathode terminal. Aluminium electrolytic capacitors are constructed from two conducting aluminium foils, one of which is coated with an insulating oxide layer, and a paper spacer soaked in electrolyte. The foil insulated by the oxide layer is the anode while the liquid electrolyte and the second foil act as cathode. This stack is then rolled up, fitted with pin connectors and placed in a cylindrical aluminium casing. The two most popular geometries are axial leads coming from the center of each circular face of the cylinder, or two radial leads or lugs on one of the circular faces.
