Which sealing material is used in aluminium electrolytic capacitors?

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber is the most commonly used sealing material in aluminium electrolytic capacitors. A series of EPDM-based rubber sealing materials have been examined and characterised by several elastomeric test methods, such as compression set test, as well as chemical compatibility and diffusion tests.

Why do capacitors need to be sealed?

They must provide sealing and mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance. Capacitors can be damaged in many ways, including internal faults or external overloads that can cause an explosion, especially in devices like AC film capacitors with relatively high energy content.

How does an electrolyte seal a capacitor?

The electrolyte also functions to repair the dielectric layer. This process seals the element using the aluminum can case and sealing materials (rubber,rubber-lined cover, etc.) for keeping the case airtight. The process of applying voltage to a post-sealed capacitor at high tem-perature is called “aging”.

What materials are used for aluminum electrolytic capacitors?

The basic material of the anode for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is a foil with a thickness of ~ 20–100 μm made of aluminum with a high purity of at least 99.99%. This is etched (roughened) in an electrochemical process to increase the effective electrode surface.

What materials can be used to protect a capacitor?

ELANTAS Europe offers a full portfolio of materials for protecting capacitors in different applications and environments, including one and two component epoxy resins, two component polyurethane resins, soft gels and polyimide varnishes.

How do you seal a motor start capacitor?

The capacitor element is sealed into a can. While most cans are aluminum, phenolic cans are often used for motor-start capacitors. In order to release the hydrogen the seal is not hermetic and it is usually a pressure closure made by rolling the can edge into a rubber gasket, a rubber end-plug or into rubber laminated to a phenolic board.

OverviewMaterialsBasic informationProductionStylesHistoryElectrical parametersReliability, lifetime and failure modes

The basic material of the anode for aluminum electrolytic capacitors is a foil with a thickness of ~ 20–100 μm made of aluminum with a high purity of at least 99.99%. This is etched (roughened) in an electrochemical process to increase the effective electrode surface. By etching the surface of the anode, depending on the required rated voltage, the surface area can be increased by a factor of approximately 200 with respect to a smooth surface.
