Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, which include UMR1A470MDD, are widely used in various electronic equipment and apparatuses. Those capacitors have a wide application field and working principle. By using aluminum electrolytic capacitors, due to their unique advantages, they have been widely used in different areas instead of tantalum electrolytic capacitors, which were used during the 1950s. So what are the advantages of aluminum electrolytic capacitors compared with tantalum capacitors?

Firstly, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are much cheaper than tantalum capacitors, because tantalum capacitors rely on tantalum oxide as the dielectric, while aluminum electrolytic capacitors are mainly composed of aluminum, electrolyte, paper, and other materials that tend to be cheaper. Secondly, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are characterized by their very large capacitance. Depending on the size, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are capable of providing up to 4700μF with a voltage rating of 10V. Thirdly, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are also characterized by their low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), which makes them ideal for high frequency applications.

Now, how does an aluminum electrolytic capacitor work? An aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of two layers of aluminum foil, both of which are highly conductive. One of the aluminum foils is called the anode, and it appears to have an etched "plus" sign that indicates it is the anode. The other aluminum foil is called the cathode, and it appears to have an etched "minus" sign that indicates it is the cathode. A thin layer of insulating paper or plastic is placed between the two aluminum foils. A dielectric material such as aluminum oxide is then placed over the anode, creating the "dielectric" layer that separates the two layers of conducting aluminum foil. Finally, electrolyte is added to the capacitor, and it is ready for use.

The working principle of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is based on the phenomenon of an electric double layer. When a voltage is applied across the two layers of aluminum foil, a charge is created on the surface of the two layers, resulting in the formation of an electric double layer. This electric double layer acts like a capacitor, storing the electric charge and then releasing it when the voltage is removed. This process has some similarities to a battery in that the electric double layer is charged up and then released when the voltage is removed.

In summary, aluminum electrolytic capacitors, such as UMR1A470MDD, are widely used in different electronic devices. The capacitors have various advantages including cost efficiency, large capacitance, and low ESR. Furthermore, the working principle of the aluminum electrolytic capacitor is based on the electric double layer phenomenon, which results in the capacitor storing and releasing the electric charge.
