Aluminum capacitors are polarized electrolytic capacitors featuring two aluminum anode electrodes that form an insulative dielectric layer. They are designed for applications that require high voltage or large capacitance and are used in computers and other electronic devices. Computer grade capacitors are used for various industry applications including automotive, telecommunications, energy, industrial, and more.
What Is the Difference Between Aluminum Capacitors vs. Film Capacitors?
Aluminum capacitors and film capacitors are both used to provide electrical energy and smooth ripple voltage in DC applications, but each provides different characteristics and advantages. Deciding between the two types of computer grade capacitors will depend heavily on your preferences and your operating application.Aluminum Capacitors:
- Electrodes are made from an aluminum anode, cathode foil and paper
- Constructed from liquid or gel materials
- Have ten times the energy density of film capacitors
- Max voltage of 550VCD
- Polarized
- Snap-in style capacitors
- Conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitors
- Aluminum low ESR capacitors
- Has electrodes made from metal-coated plastic
- Constructed from dry materials
- Tolerates higher voltages than aluminum capacitors
- Max Voltage of 1500VDC (Might be higher)
- Nonpolarized
