There are many reasons that affect the life of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Overvoltage, reverse voltage, high temperature, rapid charge and discharge, etc. Under normal use, the biggest impact is temperature, because the higher the temperature, the faster the evaporation loss of the electrolyte. It should be noted that the temperature here does not refer to the [...]
The manufacturing process of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is very rigorous and precise divided into the following steps: If you disassemble the shell of an aluminum electrolyte capacitor, you will see that there are several layers of aluminum foil and several layers of electrolytic paper. The aluminum foil and the electrolytic paper are attached together and wound [...]
Why Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor Selection Matters Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are the workhorse of power electronics — used for input and output filtering, DC-Link smoothing, motor drives and energy storage. They also have a limited lifetime that depends on operating temperature and ripple current, so choosing the right capacitance, voltage, ESR and temperature rating is not optional. [...]
Why aluminum electrolytic capacitors are out of stock but it is difficult to increase prices？The Japanese three CON is the market leader. They basically do not move. The manufacturers in mainland China and Taiwan also have big factories and are listed companies. Compared with private enterprises, listed companies have strong capital, and the price war has [...]
