ARCOTRONICS Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors GENERAL INFORMATION INTRODUCTION The aluminum electrolytic capacitors are suitable to be used when a great capacitance value is required in a very small size. The volume of an electrolytic capacitor is more than ten times less than a film one considering the same rated capacitance and voltage. The cost per F of an electrolytic capacitor is less when compared with all the other capacitor types. 1- BASIC DESIGN The construction of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the following: A O C + K - Construction scheme A = ANODE (Al 99.99%) O = DIELECTRIC Aluminum Oxide C = ELECTROLYTE + PAPER K = CATHODE (Al 98%) The anode (A) The anode is formed by an aluminum foil of extreme purity. The effective surface area of the foil is greatly enlarged (by a factor of up to 200) by electrochemical etching in order to achieve the maximum possible capacitance values. The dielectric (O) The aluminum foil (A) is covered by a very thin oxidized layer of aluminum oxide (O = Al2 O3). This oxide is obtained by means of an electrochemical process. The thickness is related to the applied voltage (forming voltage): 1.2nm/V. The oxide withstands a high electric field strength and it has a high relative dielectric constant. Aluminum oxide is therefore well suited as a capacitor dielectric in a polar capacitor. The Al2O3, has a high insulation resistance for voltages lower than the forming voltage. The oxide layer constitutes a non-linear voltage-dependent resistance: the current increases more steeply as the voltage increases. 09/2006 2 ARCOTRONICS Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors GENERAL INFORMATION The electrolyte-paper-cathode (C,K) The negative electrode is a liquid electrolyte absorbed in paper. The paper also acts as a spacer between the positive foil carrying the dielectric layer and the opposite Al-foil (the negative foil) acting as a contact medium to the electrolyte. The cathode foil serves as a large contact area for passing current to the operating electrolyte. The aluminum electrolytic capacitors with a liquid electrolyte are designed as “wet” or “non-solid” capacitors. Terminations are welded on the foils. The positive foil, the paper and the negative foil are rolled to a winding. This winding is impregnated with the electrolyte, encapsulated in an Al-case and sealed with a rubber disk. An aluminum electrolytic capacitor constructed in the way described above, inserted in an electrical circuit, will only operate correctly if the positive pole is connected to the formed Al foil (anode) and the negative one to the cathode. If the opposite polarity were to be applied, this would cause an electrolytic process resulting in the formation of a dielectric layer an the cathode foil: an internal heat generation and gas emission may destroy the capacitor. In addition, the increase of the thickness of the oxide on the cathode will reduce its capacitance and thus the overall capacitance of the capacitor. The electrolytic capacitor above described is a polarized capacitor: it is suitable for D.C. operation only. The D.C. voltage may also be a direct voltage with a superimposed alternating voltage. Bipolar electrolytic capacitors are also available. In this design the anode and the cathode foils are anodized in the production process and thus have the same capacitance rating. A direct voltage of either the polarity or an alternating voltage may be applied to a bipolar capacitor. The size of the bipolar type will be double the polarized one with the same rated capacitance and voltage. 2 - STANDARDS The international standard for the aluminum electrolytic capacitors is IEC 384-4. 3 - TECHNICAL TERMS EXPLANATION Rated capacitance The rated capacitance is the capacitance value for which the capacitor has been designed and which is indicated upon it. Capacitance tolerance The capacitance tolerance is the range within which the actual capacitance may deviate from the specific rated capacitance. Rated voltage VR Maximum operating peak voltage of a non-reversing type wave-form for which the capacitor has been designed and which is indicated upon it. Surge voltage VS A peak voltage induced by a switching or any other disturbance of the system which is allowed for a limited number of times (as per IEC 384-4). Forming voltage VF The voltage applied to the anode foil during the forming process. It is higher than surge voltage VS. 09/2006 3 ARCOTRONICS Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors GENERAL INFORMATION Superimposed AC, ripple voltage A superimposed alternating voltage, or ripple voltage, may be applied to aluminum electrolytic capacitors, provided that: - the sum of the direct voltage and superimposed alternating voltage does not exceed the rated voltage; - the rated ripple current is not exceeded; - no polarity reversal will occur. Voltage Vac VR VS VDC time Ripple current The ripple current is the rms value of the alternating current that flows through the capacitor as a result of any ripple voltage. Rated ripple current The maximum permissible current allowed at a certain temperature and frequency. Maximum permissible operating temperature (upper category temperature) The upper category temperature is the maximum permissible temperature at which the capacitor may be operated, measured on the can. It is listed in the data sheets for each series. If the above limit is trespassed the capacitor may fail prematurely. Minimum permissible operating temperature (lower category temperature) The minimum category temperature is the minimum permissible temperature at which the capacitor may be operated, measured on the can. The conductivity of the electrolyte reduces with decreasing temperature, causing electrolyte resistance, impedance and ESR increasing. For this reason, minimum permissible operating temperature are specified for aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Storage temperature Storage at high temperature (e.g. upper category temperature) will reduce leakage current stability, life and reliability of electrolytic capacitors. Store capacitors at a temperature of 5 to 35°C and a humidity 75% maximum. IEC climatic category In accordance with the IEC 68-1, the climatic category comprises 1 - Lower category temperature: the test temperature for test A (cold) in accordance with IEC 68-2-1. 2 - Upper category temperature: the test temperature for test B (dry heat) in accordance with IEC 68-2-2 3 - Number of days of the duration of the test Ca (damp heat, steady state) according to IEC 68-2-3. Safety vent An overpressure device (safety vent) ensuring that the gas can escape when the pressure reaches a certain value. 09/2006 4 ARCOTRONICS Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors GENERAL INFORMATION 4 - ELECTRICAL RATINGS 4.1 - Capacitance (E.S.C.) ESC ESL ESR Simplified equivalent circuit diagram of an electrolytic capacitor The capacitive component of the equivalent series circuit (equivalent series capacitance ESC) is determined by applying an alternate voltage of 0,5V at a frequency of 120 or 100Hz and 20°C (IEC 384-1, 384-4). Temperature dependence of the capacitance The capacitance of an electrolytic capacitor depends on the temperature: with decreasing temperature, the viscosity of the electrolyte increases reducing its conductivity. The capacitance will decrease if the temperature decreases. Furthermore temperature drifts cause armature dilatation and therefore capacitance changes (up to 20%, depending on the series considered, from 0 to 80°C). This phenomenon is more evident for electrolytic capacitors than for other types.

The dissipation factor tg is the ratio between the active and the reactive power for a sinusoidal waveform voltage. It can be thought as a measurement of the gap between an actual and an ideal capacitor. reactive ideal � actual active The tg is measured with the same set up as for the series capacitance ESC. tg = x ESC x ESR where: ESC = Equivalent Series Capacitance ESR = Equivalent Series Resistance Dissipation factor vs. frequency (typical value) Dissipation factor (%) 1000 100 ESG 10µF/350V ESG 22µF/200V ESC 22µF/100V 10 1 0 0.1 1 10 100 Frequency (kHz) Dissipation factor vs. temperature Dissipation factor (%) (typical value) 22 20 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 0 ESG 10µF/350V ESG 22µF/200V ESC 22µF/100V -40 -20 0 20 40 60 Temperature (°C) 09/2006 6 80 100 120 ARCOTRONICS Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors GENERAL INFORMATION 4.3 - Self inductance (E.S.L.) The self inductance or equivalent series inductance results from the terminal configuration and the internal design of the capacitor (see equivalent series circuit page 5). 4.4 - Equivalent series resistance (E.S.R.) The equivalent series resistance is the resistive component of the equivalent series circuit. The ESR value depends on frequency and temperature and is related to the tg by the following equation: ESR = tg 2f ESC ESR tg ESC f = = = = Equivalent Series Resistance () Dissipation Factor Equivalent Series Capacitance (F) Frequency (Hz) The tolerance limits of the rated capacitance must be taken into account when calculating this value.

The impedance of an electrolytic capacitor is not a constant quantity that retains its value under all the conditions: it changes depending on the frequency and the temperature. The impedance as a function of frequency (sinusoidal waveform) for a certain temperature can be represented as follows: Z [ohm] 1000 100 1/ω ω Ce 10 B Re 1 0.1 1/ω ω Co 0.1 ωL A 1 C 10 100 1000 10000 F [KHz] - Capacitive reactance predominates at low frequencies - With increasing frequency, the capacitive reactance Xc=1/Co decreases until it reaches the order of magnitude of the electrolyte resistance Re (A) - At even higher frequencies, the resistance of the electrolyte predominates: Z= Re (A - B) - When the capacitor’s resonance frequency is reached (0), capacitive and inductive reactance mutually cancel each other 1/ Ce = L , 0=SQR(1/LCe) (C). - Above this frequency, the inductive reactance of the winding and its terminals (XL=Z=L) becomes effective and leads to an increase in impedance. Generally speaking it can be estimated that Ce 0,01 Co. 09/2006 8 ARCOTRONICS Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors GENERAL INFORMATION The impedance as a function of frequency (sinusoidal waveform) for different temperature values can be represented as follows (typical values): Z (ohm) 1000 10 uF/450Vdc 100 -40°C 10 20°C 85°C 1 0.1 0.1 1 10 100 1000 10000 F (KHz) Re is the most temperature dependant component of electrolytic capacitor equivalent circuit. The electrolyte resistivity will decrease if the temperature rises. In order to obtain a low impedance value all over the temperature range, Re must be as little as possible, but too low Re values means a very aggressive electrolyte and then a shorter life of the electrolytic capacitor at the high temperatures. A compromise must be reached. 4.6 - Leakage current (L.C.) Due to the aluminum oxide layer that serves as a dielectric, a small current will continue to flow even after a DC voltage has been applied for long periods. This current is called leakage current. A high leakage current flows after applying a voltage to the capacitor and then decreases in few minutes (e.g. after a prolonged storage without any applied voltage). In the course of the continuous operation, the leakage current will decrease and reach an almost constant value. After a voltage free storage the oxide layer may deteriorate, especially at high temperature. Since there are no leakage current to transport oxygen ions to the anode, the oxide layer is not regenerated. The result is that a higher than normal leakage current will flow when a voltage is applied after prolonged storage. As the oxide layer is regenerated in use, the leakage current will gradually decrease to its normal level. The relationship between the leakage current and the voltage applied at constant temperature can be shown schematically as follows: I V Where: VS VF VR VF = Forming voltage If this level is exceeded a large quantity of heat and gas will be generated and the capacitor could be damaged. VR = Rated Voltage This level represents the top of the linear part of the curve. VS = Surge voltage It lies between VR and VF: the capacitor can be subjected to VS for short periods only. In accordance with the IEC 384-4, electrolytic capacitors have to be subjected to a reforming process before acceptance testing. The purpose of this preconditioning is to ensure that the same initial conditions are maintained when comparing different products. 09/2006 9 ARCOTRONICS Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors GENERAL INFORMATION 4.7 - Ripple current (R.C.) The maximum ripple current value depends on: - ambient temperature - surface area of the capacitor (heat dissipation area) - tg or ESR - frequency The capacitor’s life depends on the thermal stress. Frequency dependence of the ripple current The ESR and thus the tg depend on the frequency of the applied voltage. It means that the allowed ripple current is a function of the frequency too. Temperature dependence of the ripple current The data sheet specifies the maximum ripple current at the upper category temperature for each capacitor. 4.8 - Expected Life Calculation Chart Expected Life depends on Operating Temperature according to the following formula: L = Lo x 2 (To-T)/10 Where: L: Expected Life Lo: Load Life at Maximum Permissible Operating Temperature T: Actual Operating Temperature To: Maximum Permissible Operating Temperature This formula is applicable between 40°C and To. Actual Operating Temperature (C°) Expected Life Calculation Chart 4.9 - Mounting positions (safety vent) In operation, electrolytic capacitors will always conduct a leakage current which causes electrolysis. The oxygen produced by electrolysis will regenerate the dielectric layer but, at the same time, the hydrogen released may cause the internal pressure of the capacitor to increase. The overpressure vent (safety vent) ensures that the gas can escape when the pressure reach a certain value. All the mounting position must allow the safety vent to work properly. 09/2006 10 ARCOTRONICS Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors GENERAL INFORMATION 5 - GUIDE AND PRECAUTIONS The aim of this guide is to minimize the risks of failure due to bad applications and provide some important information and precautions on the specific peculiarities of the component. 5.1 - Polarity Electrolytic capacitors for D.C. applications require polarization. Polarity is clearly indicated on the capacitors and it’s better checked both in circuit design and in mounting. For very short period a limited reverse voltage less than 1 V is permitted. Exceeding the specified reverse voltage can induce damage, overheating, over pressure, open or short circuit conditions and the destruction of the capacitor. For this reason the electrolytic capacitors are equipped (see detailed specifications in any series) with a specific pressure device ”safety vent” which opens at a given pressure and limits the risk of explosions due to overpressure. For special purposes, no polarized capacitors, so-called bipolar capacitors, may be provided. This type of capacitor is used for a circuit where the polarity is occasionally reversed but must not be used for AC voltage applications. 5.2 - Voltage Do not apply a DC voltage exceeding the rated voltage (VR). It’s possible to apply the surge voltage (VS) only for little time. Exceeding the capacitors specified voltage limits may cause premature damage and even destruction of the capacitor may be the consequence. 5.3 - Temperature range The capacitors must be used within specified temperature range. In any case the general principle is: the lower the ambient temperature, the longer the life. According to Arrhenius’ rule, the life time is approximately halved with each 10°C of the ambient temperature increasing. 5.4 - Ripple current The sum of D.C. voltage and the maximum amplitude of ripple voltage shall remain within rated voltage (VR) and 0 V. The useful life of the capacitors is a function of the r.m.s. ripple current because ripple current induces overheating and over pressure and therefore reduces the life. For different ripple frequencies, the ripple current must be calculated by correction factors shown for each product and each frequency. In case of many frequencies, the following calculation shall be done: IR = � N I rms i 1 Fi �i 2 Where: IR = ripple current according to the frequency of the rated ripple current. N = number of significant harmonics. Irmsi = rms current of the ith harmonic. Fi = correction factor of the ith harmonic. 5.5 - Charge and discharge Do not use polarized capacitors in circuit where heavy charge and discharge cycles are frequently repeated. If you use the capacitors in this situation, capacitance could decrease and capacitors could be damaged due to generated heating and internal pressure. Specified capacitors are designed to meet the requirements of charging and discharging cycles. 5.6 - Storage Capacitors should be stored at room temperature, normal atmospheric pressure, low humidity, and in manufacturers packaging. We recommended to store the capacitors indoors at a temperature of 5 to 35°C and humidity less than 75% RH in places free from salt water, toxic gases, ultraviolet rays radiation, etc. If the capacitors are stored for a long time, oxide layer may deteriorate. As a result, the leakage current could be higher than the value listed in this catalogue. In this case capacitors must be reformed (see Installing paragraph page 12). Capacitors stored at the above storing conditions, for max 18 months starting from the production date, don’t need to be reformed. 5.7 - Self-recharge phenomenon Even if the aluminium electrolytic capacitors are totally discharged, these components may afterwards develop some voltage without external influence. This phenomenon depending on the capacitor type and its designed voltage, such self-recharge may result in values (sometimes around 10-15 volt) which could represent some risk: damage semiconductor devices, sparking by-pass terminal and so on. It is recommended, for instance, to keep the terminal shorter or repeat the discharge before mounting them. 09/2006 11 ARCOTRONICS Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors GENERAL INFORMATION 5.8 - Electrolytes Ethylene Glycol is used for main solvent and Organic Acids for main solute. Quaternary ammonium salts are not used. Nevertheless the following rules should be observed when handling electrolytic capacitors: ß Any escaping electrolyte should not come into contact with eyes or skin. ß If electrolyte comes into contact with the skin, wash the affected part immediately with running water. If the eyes are affected, rinse them for 10 minutes with plenty of water. If symptoms persist, seek medical treatment. ß Avoid breathing in electrolyte vapor or mists. Workplace and other affected areas should be well ventilated. ß Clothing that has been contaminated by electrolyte must be changed or rinsed in water. 5.9 - Installing ß A general principle is that lower use temperatures result in a longer useful life of the capacitor. For this reason it should be ensured that electrolytic capacitors are placed away from heat emitting components. Adequate space should be allowed between components for cooling air circulate, particularly when high ripple current loads are applied. In any case the max category temperature must not be exceeded. ß Do not deform the case of capacitors or use capacitors with deformed case. ß Verify that the connections of the capacitors are able to insert on the board without excessive mechanical force. ß For capacitors with screw terminals apply the correct permissible torque. ß If the capacitors have to be mounted with additional means, the mounting accessories recommended shall be used. ß Verify the correct polarization of the capacitor on the board. ß Verify that the space around pressure relief device is according to the following guideline: ß ß Case diameter Space around safety vent 16 mm 2 mm 16 to 40 mm 3 mm 40 mm 5 mm It is recommended that capacitors are always mounted with the safety device uppermost or in the upper part of the capacitors. If the capacitors are stored for long time, the leakage current must be verified and, if the leakage current is superior to the value listed in this catalogue, capacitors must be reformed. In this case, they can be reformed by application of the rated voltage through a series resistor approximately 1 k for capacitors with VR 160 V (5W resistor) and 10 k for the other rated voltages. In case of capacitors connected in series, a suitable voltage sharing must be used. In case of balacing resistors, the approximate resistance value can be calculated as: R=60/C We recommend anyway to make sure that the voltage across each capacitor does not exceed its rated voltage. 5.10 - Soldering In case of small sized of electrolytic capacitors nothing abnormal will occur if dipping is performed at less than 260°C for less than 10 seconds (for SMD type refer to “SMD reflow soldering conditions”). 5.11 - Cleaning agents Halogen hydrocarbons may cause serious damage if allowed to come into contact with aluminum electrolytic capacitors. These solvents may dissolve or decompose the insulating film and reduce the insulating properties. The capacitor seals may be affected and swell, and the solvents may penetrate them. This will lead to premature component failure. 09/2006 12 ARCOTRONICS Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors GENERAL INFORMATION 5.12 - Warning and cautions The electronic components shown in this catalogue are designed and produced mainly for such general purpose electronic equipments as industrial, audio, visual, home appliances, office equipment, and information processing and communication.
