Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The EEE-HA0J101WR is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor. Unlike ceramic, mica or paper capacitors, aluminum electrolytic capacitors use the conductive properties of an electrolytic solution to store electrical charge on the plates. The EEE-HA0J101WR is a radial lead type, which means that its two leads emerge from opposite sides of its cylindrical body.

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is composed of three major components. The anode and cathode, which are plates of aluminum foil separated by an electrolytic paper. The third component is a liquid electrolyte, which serves to fill the space between the aluminum plates to form an electrical bridge.

The EEE-HA0J101WR has a voltage rating of 500V. This means that it can safely handle even higher voltages, up to a maximum of 800V. The capacitance range is from 0.1µF to 1000µF, with an operating temperature range from -65°C - 105°C. The capacitor’s electrical properties, such as its capacitance and ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), are measured at 25°C.

The working principle behind an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is based on the same principles as a standard capacitor. An electric potential difference is applied between the anode and the cathode. This causes electrons to migrate between the plates, forming an electrical charge on one plate (the anode) and a corresponding negative charge on the other plate (the cathode). The electrolytic acts as an insulator, preventing the charges from neutralizing. The strength of the electric field created between the plates depends on the capacitance of the capacitor.

The EEE-HA0J101WR is a great choice for applications where a large amount of energy needs to be stored in a small amount of space. It is capable of handling high voltages, and is relatively inexpensive. It is often used in power supplies, inverters, amplifiers, switching converters, and motor control systems.

To ensure proper functioning and longevity, it is important to adhere to the maximum recommended operating temperature for this type of capacitor. Any temperatures beyond this range could cause the capacitor to fail due to deformation of the electrolyte, or even an explosion.

In summary, the EEE-HA0J101WR is a common type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor. It is used in a variety of applications due to its large capacitance and voltage ratings. It operates on the same principles as a standard capacitor, and should be handled carefully to ensure proper operation.
