Capacitor foil is the core material for manufacturing aluminum electrolytic capacitors. It is divided into anode foil and cathode foil, and is made of high-purity aluminum of 99.99% or more through precision processes such as rolling, annealing, etching, and chemical formation. It directly determines the capacitance, voltage rating, and lifespan of the capacitor.
Depending on its function, it is classified into:
- Anode Foil
Etched and formed to create a high surface area, directly determining the capacitance.
- Cathode Foil
Primarily serves as a conductive layer without forming treatment.
