UPX1A472MHD

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in many electronic applications, including industrial, automotive and consumer electronics. They are an integral component of almost any electronic device that requires efficient power distribution. The UPX1A472MHD application field and working principle of aluminum electrolytic capacitors will be discussed in this article.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are composed of two aluminum plates separated by an electrolyte. The tops of the plates are usually made of either aluminum or an alloy, while the electrical contacts on the bottom of the plates can also be of various materials. The aluminum plates are placed within an electrolytic fluid, which contains ions that allow for the formation of an electric double layer within the capacitor. This double layer helps to create a barrier between the terminals, therefore allowing for the capacitance of the device to be increased.

When electricity flows through the aluminum electrolytic capacitor, these two plates act as two metal plates of opposite polarity. This creates a voltage between the two metal plates is known as the electric field. Since the electric field is dependent upon the voltage, the more voltage there is, the higher the capacitance of the capacitor. This high capacitance is essential for the efficient transfer of power.

The UPX1A472MHD is a high voltage system-level aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for automotive and industrial applications. This aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a very low ESL, a high ripple current capability and can handle temperatures up to 100 degrees Celsius. Its construction includes a long aluminum foil backplate, a solid layer of electrolyte, and a metal outer shell providing a high thermal cycling lifetime.
