Electrolytic capacitor: Properties and operation

Electrolytic capacitors consist of two electrodes (anode and cathode), a film oxide layer acting as a dielectric and an electrolyte. The electrolyte brings the negative potential of the cathode closer to the dielectric via ionic transport in the electrolyte [7] (see Fig. 2).The electrolyte is either a liquid or a polymer containing a high concentration of any type of ion, although

6 FAQs about [Electrolytic capacitor core temperature]

How does temperature affect the lifetime of aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

The lifetime of aluminum electrolytic capacitors is affected mainly by the loss of electrolyte as the result of diffusion through the rubber seal materials, which leads to a decrease in capacitance and increase in tanδ . The relationship of temperature to the diffusion of electrolyte follows the Arrhenius’ Law (Equations (4) and (5)):

How does temperature affect the life of a capacitor?

Every 10° C increase in internal temperature halves the component lifetime. The structure and materials used in the capacitor make heat dissipation more difficult. To operate properly, the case must be electrically isolated from the core where heat is generated. The voltage breakdown of the insulation materials is often in excess of 350 volts DC.

What is the useful life of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor?

The useful life of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is related to temperature exponentially, approximately doubling for each 10 oC the capacitor’s core tempera-ture is reduced .

What are aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors (“alu-elcaps”, “elcaps”) are essential for the function of many electronic devices. Ever increasing demand for enhanced efficiency, the expanding utilization of renewable energy and the continuous growth of electronic content in automotive applications have driven the usage of these components.

How does a ripple current affect the life of an electrolytic capacitor?

Ripple Current Effect on Lifetime Since an aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a larger tanδ than other types of capacitors, the capacitor produces more internal heat when a ripple current flows through it. The temperature rise due to this heat may significantly affect the lifetime of the capacitor.
