UKA1C101MDD1TD Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors, or simply electrolytic capacitors, are a type of capacitor that consists of two aluminum plates, with an an can which serves to separate the two plates. The an can is then filled with an electrolyte which serves to obtain a high capacitance. The electrolyte is an oxide film that develops on the anode plate when high voltage is applied and therefore acts as an insulator between the anode and the cathode. The electrodes are typically made of aluminum which is known for its low resistance and high capacitance.

The UKA1C101MDD1TD is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor from a family of capacitors with a diameter of 10mm and a total capacitance range of 1,000 to 6,000µF. It offers high rated capacitance with a good life expectancy. It is a self-healing capacitor , meaning it forms a dielectric oxide film on aluminum plates during operation so as to a protect against short circuit.

The UKA1C101MDD1TD and its family are typically used as part of a power supply in electronic devices such as TVs, computer monitors, and printers. These types of capacitors are reliable, economical, and long-lasting solutions for applications that require a high capacitance and a relatively high working voltage, such as those found in power supplies. These are ideal for consumer electronics devices, as they can provide a long-term performance and are easy to mount.

The UKA1C101MDD1TD capacitor works by storing an electrical energy differential between its plates. When a voltage is applied, electrons are attracted to the anode side of the capacitor and repelled from the cathode. This creates a build-up of electrical charge at the anode, and this is the stored energy which can be used at a later time. As the electrons have nowhere to go but the anode, they eventually cover the surface of the anode and form an oxide film, which is the insulating layer. This insulation stops the electrons from escaping from the anode.

This capacitor type is also known for its resilience in terms of temperature cycling, meaning it can be used in applications that go through temperature changes without taking damage. They are also resistant to solvents, and therefore suitable for use in a wide range of industries.

The UKA1C101MDD1TD aluminum electrolytic capacitor is commonly used in a variety of common applications found in consumer electronics and industrial applications. It provides a reliable and long-term performance that makes it an ideal choice for those applications that rely on high capacitance at relatively high voltage.
