Discover first-hand how Panasonic aluminium electrolytic capacitors revolutionize circuit designs. Panasonic manufactures aluminium electrolytic capacitors in both surface mount and radial lead types.

What is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor?

As is the case with all capacitors, an aluminum electrolytic capacitor comprises two electrically conductive material layers that are separated by a dielectric layer. One electrode (the anode) is formed by an aluminum foil with an enlarged surface area. The oxide layer (Al2O3) that is built up on this is used as the dielectric.

What is the international standard for aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

The international standard for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is IEC 60384-4. The sectional specification mentioned above is complemented by a set of detail specifications that applies to specific design types (e.g. electrolytic capacitors with axial wire leads).

Are aluminum electrolytic capacitors reliable?

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are generally divided into two basic reliability categories: capacitors for high-reliability applications and capacitors for general-purpose applications. This differentiation has also been adopted in the relevant IEC standards.
