UPS1H471MHD1TO Capacitors

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are polarized capacitors with a larger capacitance per unit volume than other types of capacitors. They are made of a layer of aluminum oxide, which acts as the dielectric for the capacitor, sandwiched between two layers of conductive aluminum. The capacitor\'s name is derived from the two materials it is composed of - aluminum and electrolyte. The construction of these capacitors makes them more susceptible to large voltage changes and temperature changes. Consequently, they are not suitable for use in applications where the supply currents or voltages vary widely.

UPS1H471MHD1TO Application Field and Working Principle

UPS1H471MHD1TO is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. It is able to hold a significant amount of electric energy within a small unit volume compared to other types of capacitors. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where the available board space is limited or where high current energy storage is needed. It has an operating temperature range of -25 to +105 degrees Celsius and a capacitance range of 1 to 470uF.

The working principle of the UPS1H471MHD1TO capacitor is determined by its construction. As it is composed of two layers of aluminum and a layer of aluminum oxide, when a voltage is applied across the two aluminum layers, electrons will be puled from the aluminum, causing oxidation of the aluminum oxide. This results in the release of oxygen ions which are attracted to the positive charge on the aluminum layers, resulting in the positive and negative charges being cancelled out. This creates a capacitor that can store energy and releases it when the voltage is removed.

The UPS1H471MHD1TO capacitor is commonly used in the automotive industry, where the high operating temperature range and high capacitance enable it to be used in high-powered electronic circuits, such as the engine control unit and alternator. This capacitor is also used in general industrial, communication and commercial electronics to provide energy storage and filtering. Additionally, this capacitor is used in audio equipment, such as amplifiers and speakers.

In conclusion, the UPS1H471MHD1TO capacitor is a type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor that provides high capacitance and high current energy storage in a small form factor. This makes it ideal for applications that require a large amount of energy storage in a small unit volume and those that require high operating temperatures. As a result, it is commonly used in the automotive industry and the audio equipment industry.
