Application of electronic detonators for surface mounted aluminum electrolytic capacitors

Date:2025-03-25 | Popular:10

1. Energy storage function and energy control


High capacitance and energy storage: Electronic detonators need to release a large amount of energy

 in a very short period of time to detonate insensitive agents. Surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors 

have a larger capacitance (such as 100 μ F/25 V) and can store more charges. According to the formula 

C × Δ U=I × Δ t, the larger the capacitance value, the more flexible the delay time setting, and the higher 

the ignition reliability.


Structural adaptability: The cylindrical shell of electronic detonators requires a compact capacitor shape. 

Surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors (such as Φ 5 × 8 mm) are more suitable for tube shell layout 

than tantalum capacitors, and can reduce the tube shell radius and optimize assembly design.


2. Performance advantage comparison


Low ESR and high overcurrent capability: Equivalent series resistance (ESR) directly affects the instantaneous 

current intensity during detonation. The ESR (usually below 1.6 Ω) of solid-state aluminum electrolytic capacitors 

is significantly better than that of tantalum capacitors, reducing energy loss and ensuring that the bridge wire 

obtains sufficient energy. For example, experiments have shown that a high ESR of tantalum capacitors 

can lead to 43% energy loss, while controlling the ESR of aluminum electrolytic capacitors within a reasonable 

range can improve the success rate of detonation.


Low leakage current and high temperature stability: The leakage current (<3 μ A) of surface mount aluminum 

electrolytic capacitors at high temperatures (55 ℃) is much lower than that of tantalum capacitors (>10 μ A), 

avoiding the risk of explosion rejection caused by energy loss during the delay phase. Its solid-state electrolyte 

design also avoids the problem of liquid electrolyte drying up, extending its service life.


3. Safety and reliability


Adaptability of insensitive agents: insensitive agents require high voltage and high energy to detonate. Surface 

mounted aluminum electrolytic capacitors have strong voltage resistance (such as 25 V) and overcurrent ability, 

while tantalum capacitors have insufficient voltage resistance and are prone to combustion when they fail, posing 

a safety hazard.


Environmental adaptability: Surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors support a wide temperature range 

(-40 ℃~125 ℃) and anti vibration design, suitable for complex environments such as mines and underwater.


4. Supply chain and cost advantages


Localization substitution: Domestic manufacturers such as Fulong's surface mount aluminum electrolytic capacitors 

have achieved mass production, with a shorter supply cycle (compared to the six-month cycle of imported 

tantalum capacitors) and a cost reduction of 30% to 50%.


Product Consistency: Through automated production lines and strict quality control, the consistency of capacitance 

parameters (such as capacitance value and ESR) is high, meeting the batch requirements of electronic detonator 

modules.


5. Practical application cases


Typical model: such as Fulong EFRA025BK101M0411 (100 μ F/25 V), which has been widely used in the

 electronic detonator market and verified for its stability in high-voltage detonation scenarios.

Test data: Comparative experiments show that the capacitance fluctuation of solid-state aluminum electrolytic 

capacitors is less than 5% at voltages of 16-24 V, and the high-temperature leakage current is only 1-2 μ A. 

The performance is better than that of imported tantalum capacitors.


summarize


Surface mounted aluminum electrolytic capacitors have become the mainstream choice for energy storage 

capacitors in electronic detonators due to their high energy density, low loss, high safety, and supply chain 

advantages. Its technical parameters are highly matched with the requirements of detonators, promoting 

the development of the civil explosive industry towards intelligence and safety. In the future, with further 

optimization of solid-state electrolysis technology, its reliability in extreme environments is expected to 

be further improved.
