WEET Judging the Polarity of Electrolytic Capacitor with Multimeter Or by External Appearance

WEE Technology Company Limited - WEE are Capacitors Specialist

The positive and negative polarity will be marked on the shell of electrolytic capacitor, and attention must be paid to its polarity in actual use, otherwise there is a risk of explosion. If the polarity of an electrolytic capacitor can not be recognized, its polarity can be judged with a pointer multimeter.

So how to identify the polarity of Electrolytic capacitor by Multimeter?

Due to the difference between positive and negative polarity of electrolytic capacitor, it has a feature of using multimeter resistance to detect it: the positive electrode is connected with black probe (positive power supply), the negative terminal is connected with red probe (negative power supply), and the leakage current of electrolytic capacitor is small (Large leakage resistance). On the contrary, the leakage current of electrolytic capacitor increases (the leakage resistance decreases).

When measuring, first assume that one pole is "+" pole, connect it with the black probe of the multimeter, and connect the other electrode with the red probe of the multimeter. Record the scale of the stop of the probe (the resistance value of the probe is large on the left side), then discharge the capacitor (i.e. the two leads touch each other), exchange the two probes, and re measure. In the two measurements, the last time the needle stays on the left (with high resistance), the black probe is connected to the positive electrode of the electrolytic capacitor.

At the same time, you can tell the polarity of WEET Axial Electrolytic capacitors by external appearance. Firstly, on one side of the lead, there is a protruding end, which is a negative pole. At the same time, the sleeve marking will has a  "-" one it and arrow to one side , which is showing as negative pole.

WEET WAA 85°C, Low Leakage, 2000 Hours , Axial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor Common Items

WEE Technology Company Limited - WEE are Capacitors Specialist

Do you know, why Axial Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors must know the polarity? The capacitance of the capacitor is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two electrodes and is proportional to the area. The polarity of electrolytic capacitor is determined by the characteristics of its medium (insulator). The medium of electrolytic capacitor is metal oxide film, that is, the electrolytic (DC) process forms an oxide film on the surface of aluminum foil. Because the oxide film is very thin, the capacity of electrolytic capacitor can be very large. If the polarity of the capacitor is reversed, the electrolytic film will be destroyed under the reverse voltage, and the capacitor will fail. Therefore, the electrolytic capacitor has polarity.

WEET How to Understand the of Polarity of Horizontal Axial Through Core Polar Electrolytic Capacitor

WEE Technology Company Limited - WEE are Capacitors Specialist

Aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a kind of capacitor with thin oxide film as the medium, which is made of water absorbing paper with paste electrolyte sandwiched between two aluminum foils. Because the oxide film has unidirectional conductivity, the electrolytic capacitor has polarity.
Today, WEET engineers will show you How to Understand and Test the of Polarity of Horizontal Axial Through Core Polar Electrolytic Capacitors

If the polarity of electrolytic capacitor is unknown, the polarity can be measured by the resistance block of multimeter.

We know that the leakage current of the electrolytic capacitor is small (the leakage resistance is large) only when the positive pole of the electrolytic capacitor is connected to the power supply (the black probe in the resistance block) and the negative terminal is connected to the power supply (the red probe in the resistance block). On the contrary, the leakage current of electrolytic capacitor increases (the leakage resistance decreases).

When measuring, first assume that a certain pole is "+" pole, let it connect with the black probe of the multimeter, and the other electrode connects with the red probe of the multimeter, record the scale of the stop of the probe (the resistance value of the probe to the left is large), then discharge the capacitor (i.e. two leads touch each other), and then adjust the two probes, and measure again. In the two measurements, when the last position of the probe is to the left (high resistance), the black probe is connected to the positive pole of the electrolytic capacitor.

At the same time, we also can distinguish the polarity of WEET Axial WAA Aluminum electrolytic capacitor by external appearance. Firstly, the marking arrow indicated the negative polar. Secondly, the terminal end has an obvious soldering joint and pup up, which means the negative polar.

WEET Introduce Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors Obvious Core Characteristics in Structure

WEE Technology Company Limited - WEE are Capacitors Specialist

The core of aluminum electrolytic capacitor is made of four layers of anode aluminum foil, electrolytic paper, cathode aluminum foil, electrolytic paper, etc. after the core contains electrolyte, it is sealed with aluminum shell and rubber cover to form an electrolytic capacitor. Compared with other types of capacitors, aluminum electrolytic capacitors have the following obvious characteristics in structure:

 (1) The working medium of aluminum electrolytic capacitor is to form a very thin layer of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) on the surface of aluminum foil by anodizing. The oxide medium layer and the anode of the capacitor are combined into a complete system, and they are interdependent and cannot be independent of each other. As we usually say, the electrode and dielectric of the capacitor are independent of each other.
 (2) The anode of aluminum electrolytic capacitor is the aluminum foil with Al2O3 dielectric layer on its surface. The cathode is not the negative foil we used to think, but the electrolyte of capacitor.
 (3) Negative foil plays the role of electrical lead-out in electrolytic capacitor, because the electrolyte as cathode of electrolytic capacitor can not be directly connected with the external circuit, it must form an electrical path through another metal electrode and other parts of the circuit.
 (4) The anode aluminum foil and cathode aluminum foil of aluminum electrolytic capacitor are usually corrosion aluminum foil. The actual surface area is much larger than its apparent surface area, which is also a reason why aluminum electrolytic capacitor usually has large capacitance. Due to the use of aluminum foil with many micro etched holes, liquid electrolyte is usually needed to make more effective use of its actual electrode area. 
 (5) As the dielectric oxide film of aluminum electrolytic capacitor is obtained by anodizing, and its thickness is directly proportional to the voltage applied by anodizing, therefore, in principle, the thickness of dielectric layer of aluminum electrolytic capacitor can be accurately controlled as a technical reference.
