Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is an electrical device which consists of a solid anode and a cathode with electrolyte sandwiched between them. The anode is formed by an aluminum foil coated with an oxide layer. The oxide layer prevents current from flowing through the component, thus lowering its resistance. The electrolyte serves to facilitate the current flow between the two metals and increase the capacitor’s capacitance. The cathode is usually formed by a metal or an electrolyte, but it can also be formed from carbon particles or graphite.

UPS0J470MDD1TA application field and working principle

The UPS0J470MDD1TA aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a wide range of applications, including filter circuits, power supplies, motor starters, and oscillators. The ceramic casing and the axial leads make this capacitor ideal for use in high vibration environments, such as automotive engines. This type of capacitor is made of a special aluminum foil, which serves to provide low ESR, high capacitance and low inductance, making it suitable for use in high frequency switching circuits. Its high ripple current capacity and long life make it suitable for power supplies in medical equipment and military applications.

The working principle of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor relies on the electrochemical process between the anode and the electrolyte. When the capacitor is charged, a reaction occurs between the anode and the electrolyte. This reaction creates a capacitance between the two surfaces, which can store electrical energy. When the electrical charge is applied, the reaction is reversed, releasing the stored energy into the circuit.
