Polymer capacitor
Polymer capacitors, polymerized organic semiconductor solid-electrolyte capacitors and conductive polymer capacitors with different chemistry, are types of electrolytic capacitor with solid, rather than the more usual liquid, electrolyte...
s. The name is used for polymerized organic semiconductor solid-electrolyte capacitors and conductive polymer capacitors with different chemistry.
Characteristics
- This type offers longer life at higher cost than standard (liquid) electrolytics. 50Khours life at 85 °C.
- Equivalent series resistanceEquivalent series resistancePractical capacitors and inductors as used in electric circuits are not ideal components with only capacitance or inductance. However, they can be treated to a very good approximation as ideal capacitors and inductors in series with a resistance; this resistance is defined to be the equivalent...
(ESR) is lower than electrolytic of same value, and stable under varying temperature, unlike standard electrolytics. - Working voltage up to around 35 VVoltThe volt is the SI derived unit for electric potential, electric potential difference, and electromotive force. The volt is named in honor of the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta , who invented the voltaic pile, possibly the first chemical battery.- Definition :A single volt is defined as the...

Construction
- Cathode is aluminum foil.
- A separator sheet is impregnated with electrolyte.
- Anode is aluminum foil with an oxide layer.
