What is an electrolytic capacitor?

An electrolytic capacitor is a type of polarized capacitor that uses a wet electrolytic solution and an oxide film to store electrical charge. An example is the aluminum electrolytic capacitor which contains two closely spaced spooled strips of aluminum foil for the positive anode and negative cathode.

What is a wet electrolyte capacitor?

Dependent on the nature of the Electrolyte, capacitors may also be referred to as "wet" meaning they have a liquid electrolyte or solid. Solid Electrolytes may be hybridized with Aluminium but normally refers to Polymer or Tantalum based capacitors. For more information, please see our guide to Aluminium Electrolytic Capacitors.

Which electrolytic capacitor is used in DC power supply?

Commonly used in DC Power supplies due to their large capacitance and their compact size which helps to reduce the ripple voltage. Aluminium Electrolytic capacitors have reasonable Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) but have the lowest leakage current from all capacitor types. Polymer Electrolytic Capacitors

Are aluminum electrolytic capacitors polarized?

These polarized capacitors are well-suited for applications where space and weight are at a premium, such as in electronic devices, power supplies, and filtering circuits. Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors are in stock at DigiKey.
