EEE-HBJ470UAR

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an electrochemical component made up of two aluminum foils and a di-electric material such as paper or plastic. The two foils are separated by the die-electric material and a liquid electrolyte. This type of capacitor offers high capacitance values (typically greater than 1000 uF) which makes them extremely useful in many different applications.

The EEE-HBJ470UAR is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor. This capacitor has a rated working voltage of 16 V and a capacitance of 470 µF. It is an axial leaded part, meaning it has leads that extend on both sides of the capacitor body. It is also a radial leaded part, meaning its leads are arranged around the circumference of the capacitor body.

EEE-HBJ470UAR Application Fields

The EEE-HBJ470UAR aluminum electrolytic capacitor is used in a variety of applications. Its long life and high capacitance make it ideal for use in power supplies and power converters, motor drives, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filtering, and in circuit designs that require high-grade components. It is also used in automotive electronics and television equipment.

EEE-HBJ470UAR Working Principle

In an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the two aluminum foils act as the capacitor plates and are separated by a liquid electrolyte. When a voltage is applied across the two plates, an electric field is created which causes charges to be stored on the plates. The amount of charge stored increases as more voltage is applied. This stored charge constitutes the capacitance of the capacitor, and when a voltage is removed the capacitor will retain its capacitance until the next time the capacitor is charged.

As the EEE-HBJ470UAR aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a polarized capacitor, it needs to be connected correctly during assembly. Failure to do this can result in an undesired voltage across the capacitor, which can cause damage to the part. The capacitor also needs to be handled with care as it can be easily damaged if it is bent, dropped, or hit.
