What is the difference between a “Solid” or “Polymer” or “Organic” or “Organic Semiconductor” Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor?
These terms essentially refer to the same thing… All of these terms (when applied to aluminum electrolytic capacitors) refer to the electrolyte composition. The use of a solid (polymer – organic semiconductor) electrolyte (in place of a more common liquid electrolyte) in aluminum electrolytic capacitors, results in improvements of greatly reduced ESR, higher ripple current ratings and extended operational life.
