Description
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors can be used in small electronic devices such as routers, set-top boxes, appliance mainboards, power adapters, and chargers. The average size of these capacitors is ϕ12*27mm, with an average weight of approximately 7.6g including the electrolyte. The dataset includes primary raw materials, auxiliary materials, energy consumption, atmospheric emissions, and waste generated during the production process. Infrastructure such as manufacturing equipment and facility construction is not included within the system boundary of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data gathered from multiple sources. The production process of aluminum electrolytic capacitors includes steps such as foil cutting, winding, element impregnation, assembly, cleaning, sleeving, stringing, aging, and inspection.
Activity Description
The production of aluminum electrolytic capacitors includes processes such as foil cutting, winding, element impregnation, assembly, cleaning, sleeving, stringing, aging, and inspection.
Process Description
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are constructed by winding together an anode foil, a cathode foil, electrolytic paper, and terminals, impregnating them with electrolyte, placing the assembly into an aluminum case, and sealing it with rubber. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors can be used in small electronic devices such as routers, set-top boxes, appliance mainboards, power adapters, and chargers.
