ECE-V1VA221UP

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a kind of capacitors made of aluminum oxide film with higher dielectric constant. A layer of aluminum oxide film is formed electrochemically on the surface of aluminum foil as dielectric. This ECE-V1VA221UP capacitor belongs to non-solid electrolytic capacitors; its configuration consists of an aluminum casing, two electrodes made of aluminum foil, a sealed electrolyte solution, and a paper layer that only provided insulation. The combination of the anode and cathode creates a polarized capacitor.

The application field of axial aluminum electrolytic capacitors like the ECE-V1VA221UP is vast, and they are commonly used in various electronic and electrical devices. In terms of power, this particular capacitor is rated for 10V, 100,000 microfarads (µF), making it capable of handling a lot of power. This makes it a great component for high voltage power systems, like those used in audio equipment, amplifier circuits, and other systems that require high power handling.

In terms of operating principle, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are analog devices that work in accordance with Faraday’s law of induction. An electric field is created between two aluminum foil electrodes when a voltage is applied across the component. The electric field causes electrolyte ions to migrate along the two electrodes, creating an electric current that charges the capacitor until equilibrium is reached. The electric charge stored in the capacitor gives it its capacitance.

When the electric current flow in the capacitor reverses, the capacitor discharges, and the stored electric energy is released as an electric current. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors exhibit bipolar electric behavior, I.e., both positive and negative charges can be stored and released at the same time. In contrast to other types of electrolytic capacitors, such a bipolar behavior makes aluminum electrolytic capacitors highly suitable for applications where high power and high performance are necessary.

The ECE-V1VA221UP aluminum electrolytic capacitor design incorporates a vent for releasing its pressure buildup. The venting system ensures that the capacitor is always safe under severe operating conditions. In addition, the capacitor features a long shelf-life, making it suitable for use in a wide variety of high-power applications.

Overall, the ECE-V1VA221UP aluminum electrolytic capacitor is one of the most durable and reliable components available. Its long shelf-life and excellent power handling capabilities make it the ideal choice for use in high-power applications. Thanks to its simple and efficient operating principle, this proven component is popular among audio manufacturers for powering their amplifiers, and it can be found in many other applications that require high performance.
