Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors - Leaded

Capacitors are passive electronic components that are used to store electrical energy in the form of an electric field. Capacitors consist of two or more conductive plates that are separated by an insulating material, known as the dielectric. When a voltage is applied to the capacitor, electrical charge is stored on the plates, creating an electric field between them. The capacitance of a capacitor, which is a measure of its ability to store electrical charge, depends on the area of the plates, the distance between the plates, and the type of dielectric material used. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a type of capacitor that uses an electrolyte solution as the dielectric material. These capacitors are characterized by their large capacitance values, which makes them useful in applications where a high-capacity capacitor is needed, such as in power supplies and filtering circuits. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are available in both leaded and surface-mount packages, and they are commonly used in a wide range of electronic devices, such as computers, power supplies, and audio equipment.
