Selection of Surface mount Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Date:2025-03-11 | Popular:2

1、 Core parameter selection


Rated voltage and voltage margin


The rated voltage should be higher than the maximum operating voltage of the circuit and a margin of 

at least 15% should be reserved to avoid damage caused by voltage peaks. For example, the withstand 

voltage value in the filtering circuit should not be less than 1.42 times the effective AC value.


Capacity and tolerance range


Accurately calculate capacity based on circuit requirements (such as filtering and decoupling) to avoid excessive 

cost increase or insufficient impact on performance, with a conventional tolerance range of ± 20%.


High frequency performance parameters


ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance): Low ESR can reduce high-frequency losses, improve circuit efficiency 

and signal stability.


ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance): In high-frequency scenarios, attention should be paid to the impact 

of equivalent series inductance on signal integrity.


Loss angle (Tan δ): The larger the loss angle, the worse the high-frequency performance, and a low loss 

angle capacitor should be selected.


2、 Temperature and environmental adaptability


Temperature resistance range and lifespan


The working temperature should be within the nominal range of the capacitor, and high-temperature 

environments (such as 125 ℃) should use high-temperature resistant and long-life models, and evaluate 

the heat dissipation conditions.


Ripple current tolerance capability


Excessive ripple current can cause capacitors to heat up and shorten their lifespan, so it is necessary to choose models with strong ripple current tolerance.


3、 Packaging and layout requirements


Package size selection


Choose appropriate packaging based on the space of the circuit board (such as 0402, 0603, 0805, etc.), 

and choose small sizes such as 5 × 5.4mm for compact design.


Layout optimization


To avoid heat concentration and signal interference, it is necessary to evenly distribute the capacitance 

and consider the heat dissipation path.


4、 Special scenario selection suggestions


High frequency circuit: Priority should be given to high-frequency low impedance series (such as FVZ, FVR series).

High voltage application: Choose high voltage long-life models (such as FVD series).

Portable devices: Low voltage (6.3V/10V) and small packaged capacitors are more suitable.


5、 Reliability and Cost Balance


Leakage current control: The leakage current increases with temperature and voltage, and needs to be 

evaluated according to the formula I=K × CV.


Cost effectiveness and suppliers: Choose reputable suppliers with comprehensive performance, lifespan,

 and maintenance costs to avoid low-priced and low-quality products.


Through the multi-dimensional parameter matching and scene adaptation mentioned above, the stable

 and efficient operation of surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors in the circuit can be ensured.
