Selected Category：Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors > Judicious Use
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are sensitive to contamination of halogen ions (especially to chlorine and bromine ions) though the degree of the effect depends on the properties of the electrolyte and/or sealing materials used in the capacitors. For using a halide-containing flux, solvent (cleaning agent, adhesive or coating materials) or fumigant, the halide may penetrate into the capacitor through the rubber seal materials and cause the following corrosion reactions to occur.
Failure modes depend on the application conditions that lead to fail.
