High Ripple Current Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
Draft selection page explaining how to specify high-ripple-current aluminum electrolytic capacitors without relying on voltage and capacitance alone.
High Ripple Current Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors
High ripple current creates internal heating in an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. The correct choice depends on ripple magnitude and frequency, ESR or impedance, ambient temperature, cooling, case size, mounting and the required endurance—not on voltage and capacitance alone.
COREVIA offers surface-mount, radial leaded, snap-in and screw-terminal product families for different power levels and assembly methods. Exact ripple-current ratings must be selected from the applicable series data and corrected for real operating conditions.
For selection support, provide rated and working voltage, capacitance, ripple current and frequency, ESR requirement, ambient temperature, cooling method, case dimensions, expected quantity and application.
