ULD2C330MPD

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are passive electronic components that store electrical energy in an electric field. As a type of capacitor, these capacitors contain two aluminum foils, which are usually separated by a thin paper, cloth, or other insulating material coated with a layer of oxide film. The aluminum foils are then rolled together and placed in a cylindrical metal case. One of the foils is an electrode, and the other is an anode. This design ensures that electrical current can flow in both directions within the capacitor. The ULD2C330MPD is a sample aluminum electrolytic capacitor model designed by Eaton, and here we will discuss its application field and working principle.

Application Field of ULD2C330MPD

Eaton\'s ULD2C330MPD aluminum electrolytic capacitor is widely used in various power supplies, including AC-DC, DC-DC, and back-end power systems. With its temperature rating of -25°C to +85°C, these capacitors can be used in various conditions across a wide range of temperatures. The ULD2C330MPD series capacitors are also widely used in several passive components, such as EMI/EMCB filters, safety interlock circuits, and redundant power paths. These capacitors are highly reliable and provide a long service life of up to 7,500 hours.

Working Principle of ULD2C330MPD

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are constructed from three main components: the anode, the cathode, and the electrolyte. The anode is the positive electrode, and the cathode is the negative electrode. The electrolyte is a conductive solution which acts as an ion transfer medium by allowing electrons to flow between the anode and the cathode. When the voltage is applied to the capacitor, the current flows from the anode to the cathode, forming a build-up of charges on the anode. This results in an electric field which stores the electric energy. The ULD2C330MPD capacitor has two anodes, two cathodes, and one electrolyte solution. The capacitance of the capacitor can be adjusted depending on the volume of the electrolyte solution.

Conclusion

Eaton\'s ULD2C330MPD aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a reliable and long-lasting component which is used in a wide variety of power supplies, passive components, and EMI/EMCB filters. The capacitor is constructed from three main components, the anode, the cathode, and the electrolyte solution. When a voltage is applied, current flows from the anode to the cathode resulting in a buildup of charges on the anode, which produces an electric field and stores the electrical energy.
