Screw terminal electrolytic capacitors
Screw terminal electrolytic capacitors - Reliable performance for high requirements
Screw terminal electrolytic capacitors are the first choice when it comes to powerful, durable and reliable energy storage in industrial applications. They are used wherever high capacities and robust designs are required - for example in power electronics, inverters or UPS systems.
These capacitors are characterized by their practical screw connection, which ensures a secure and stable connection. This makes them particularly suitable for demanding environments with high currents and high temperatures. With a long service life and high ripple current carrying capacity, they offer a reliable solution for a wide range of applications.
As an official distributor of AIC Europe, Rotima AG offers high-quality screw terminal electrolytic capacitors for industry, mechanical engineering and energy supply. Benefit from our many years of experience and a product range that meets the highest quality standards.

Electrolytic capacitors
A tantalum capacitor is an electrolytic capacitor that uses tantalum as the anode material. This type of capacitor is characterized by high capacitance density, low leakage currents and stable electrical properties. They are often used in DC circuits, for decoupling, filtering and energy storage.
Film capacitors
Film capacitors are electrical components for energy storage, consisting of two metal foils or metallized plastic films as electrodes, separated by a dielectric plastic film. They are characterized by high dielectric strength, low losses and a long service life and are used in applications such as power supplies, motor drives and high-frequency technology.
Ceramic capacitors
Ceramic capacitors are electrical components for energy storage and signal filtering. They consist of a ceramic dielectric and metal plates. Their advantages: high stability, low losses, fast charging and discharging times. They are used in electronics, high-frequency technology and power applications - from smartphones to industrial control systems.

Design and function of screw terminal electrolytic capacitors
Screw terminal electrolytic capacitors consist of a wound aluminum foil package housed in a robust aluminum housing. The inner structure contains a conductive electrolyte liquid that stores and supplies electrical energy. A special oxide layer on the anode foil serves as a dielectric and enables a high dielectric strength.
Thanks to the screw connection, these capacitors can be mounted securely and guarantee reliable current transmission - even with high ripple currents. Their high capacitance and long service life make them the ideal choice for industrial applications such as inverters, UPS systems and power electronics.

Further information on screw terminal electrolytic capacitors
In our FAQ section, we answer the most frequently asked questions about screw terminal electrolytic capacitors. Whether technical details, areas of application or quality features - here you will find compact and easy-to-understand information to help you choose the right capacitor.
What are screw terminal electrolytic capacitors used for?
Screw terminal electrolytic capacitors are used in high-performance electrical and electronic systems where high capacitance and stable voltage supply are required. They are frequently used in power electronics, particularly in inverters, UPS systems, switching power supplies and industrial drives. In solar systems, they stabilize the DC voltage, while in rail vehicles and on-board power converters they compensate for voltage fluctuations.
They also help to stabilize the power supply in medical technology or in high-voltage power supplies. Their robust design, high ripple current resistance and long service life make them ideal for demanding environments. Thanks to the screw connection, they can be securely fastened, making them particularly reliable for applications with high mechanical stress.

How do screw terminal electrolytic capacitors differ from other electrolytic capacitors?
The biggest difference to conventional electrolytic capacitors lies in the connection design and mechanical stability. While standard electrolytic capacitors often have soldered or plug-in connections, screw terminal electrolytic capacitors have solid screw terminals that ensure a secure and reliable connection.
This makes them particularly suitable for high-current applications, as the contact resistance remains minimal and heat generation is reduced.
They are also designed for higher ripple currents and have a longer service life. Their robust metal shell protects them from mechanical stress, while the optimized design enables a higher capacitance density. These properties make them ideal for applications where reliability, high currents and a stable connection are required, such as in industrial electronics, railroad technology and renewable energies.

Which technical parameters are important for screw terminal electrolytic capacitors?
The most important technical parameters include capacitance, rated voltage, ripple current carrying capacity, temperature range and service life. The capacitance determines how much energy can be stored, while the rated voltage indicates the voltage up to which the capacitor can be operated safely. The ripple current carrying capacity is particularly important, as screw terminal electrolytic capacitors are often used in power electronics applications with high alternating current components.
A high temperature range (e.g. 85°C or 105°C) ensures a long service life, even under demanding conditions. Manufacturers such as AIC Europe offer models with different specifications to meet various industrial requirements. As a distributor, Rotima AG helps to select the right capacitors for specific applications to ensure optimum performance and efficiency.

Why are screw terminal electrolytic capacitors suitable for high-current applications?
Screw terminal electrolytic capacitors are specially designed for high-current applications as they have a high ripple current resistance. This means that they can handle large alternating currents without excessive heating. Their low internal resistance (ESR) reduces energy losses and prevents excessive heating, which extends their service life.
The screw connection ensures a stable, large-area electrical connection with minimal contact resistance - ideal for applications with high currents, such as in inverters, frequency converters or uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). In addition, their robust design enables safe installation in vibration-intensive environments, such as in rail vehicles or high-performance industrial systems.
Thanks to these properties, they are indispensable for applications that require high currents, thermal stability and mechanical resilience.

What are the advantages of screw terminal electrolytic capacitors in industrial applications?
Screw terminal electrolytic capacitors offer numerous advantages for industrial applications. Their robust design makes them resistant to mechanical stress, while the screw connection ensures a secure and stable connection.
They have a high capacitance density, which means they can store large amounts of energy and release it quickly. Their long service life is particularly advantageous - models with high-quality electrolytes and optimized housings can remain in use for many years, even under high temperatures and strong currents. They are also optimized for high ripple currents, allowing them to effectively compensate for voltage fluctuations.
This makes them perfect for applications such as inverters, industrial power supplies, railroad technology and renewable energies.
