F Tech (Improving the flexibility of anode foil)

Increasing the surface area of anode foil is essential for improving the performance of aluminum electrolytic capacitors. However, as the surface area increases and the proportion of hard dielectric film increases, the flexibility of the anode foil decreases, and a problem arises in that it becomes difficult to wind it.

To solve this problem, our company has developed its own technology called 'F Tech' (Figure 5). This technology improves flexibility by creating multiple cracks in the anode foil, thereby reducing the bending stress during winding. This makes it possible to wind the anode foil smoothly (Figure 6).

Features of the 'F Tech' Technology (expected effects)

Improving flexibility

  • Cracks are created on the anode foil during the production process of electrode foil, reducing the stress during winding and enabling smooth winding.

Improving characteristics

  • Smooth winding offers the following benefits
    1. Improvement in volume efficiency (increase in capacitance) of wound aluminum electrolytic capacitors
    2. Cracks in the etching layer of the foil before winding suppress the occurrence of new cracks during the creation of the element of the wound type aluminum electrolytic capacitor (suppression of aging current)

Reduction in defect rate

  • Reduction in defect rates caused by winding stress.
