UCY2G470MHD6

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are electrical components that, similarly to any other type of capacitor, store electrical energy. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have an aqueous electrolyte, working on the principles of an electrolytic cell, which gives them an increased capacitance. They include a cylindrical aluminum enclosure, which serves as the anode for the capacitor, a cathode layer, and a porous separator medium to keep the two layers apart. This is all stored in a non-conductive sealed enclosure, allowing the electrodes to be kept apart until electrical charges are passed.

The UCY2G470MHD6 is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor specifically designed for high-power applications that require a high capacitance value in a relatively small package. The UCY2G470MHD6 has a capacitance of 470µF and a voltage rating of 50V DC. The cylindrical construction of the UCY2G470MHD6 makes for a physical size of 20mmx17mm, which is suitable for fitting on small PCBs and in areas with limited space.

When the UCY2G470MHD6 is used in a circuit, it is connected between two conductive terminals, allowing the electrons to move from one terminal to the other. This will create an electric field that is necessary for the plate to store energy. The capacity of the plate is measured in Farads, and it will store as much energy as is allowed by the Farad measurement of the capacitor.

In a way, the aluminum electrolytic capacitor ultimately acts as an energy storage device. The capacitance of the capacitor determines how much energy can be stored during the charge cycle, and the voltage rating sets the voltage that the capacitor can withstand during the discharging cycle. This makes aluminum electrolytic capacitors ideal for applications such as power supplies, as they are capable of storing and supplying large amounts of energy when needed.

They are also used in audio applications since they are capable of providing high amounts of capacitance within a relatively small package. This provides more flexibility when connecting different audio components, as the audio signal is not degraded by the relatively large size of the capacitors.

Overall, the UCY2G470MHD6 is an ideal aluminum electrolytic capacitor for audio and power supply applications, as it offers a high capacitance value in a relatively small package. Additionally, its voltage rating allows for high-power applications, as it can endure high voltages without degradation.
