Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, like the UST1C220MDD variety, are constructed of an anode, which is typically aluminum foil, a separator, and a cathode, which in this case is a crimped aluminum coil. Between the anode and the cathode, a liquid electrolyte fills the space and forms a dielectric layer. The electrical energy that is absorbed and released from the capacitor is inversely proportional to the thickness of this dielectric.

These capacitors are used for almost all types of electrical applications, most notably in power supplies, audio, and even as parts of rectifying circuits and voltage multipliers. In power supplies, capacitors are mainly used for filtering and bypassing. With filtering, the capacitors absorb AC current, where it gets stored on the aluminum plates, which act as a low-pass filter. This is because most AC power supplies are usually made up of a combination of DC and AC components. In such scenarios, the capacitors are used to filter out the DC components of the circuit while allowing that of the AC to pass.

In audio, capacitors are used to control the bass frequencies, allowing the treble frequencies to pass more efficiently. Bypassing is used for supplying clean power to various parts of a circuit with reduced cluttering. The bypassing use of UST1C220MDD capacitors is effective not only for supplying a stable voltage between pins during operation, but also for absorbing any rapidly-changing induced currents.

The most common of the many applications for these capacitors is voltage multiplication. Here, a combination of capacitors and diodes are used for a full-wave voltagerectifying circuit, which greatly reduces the amount of voltage that gets wasted. This form of power supply produces an output voltage that is much higher than that of the AC source. Usually, six capacitors are employed across two stages, which allows for optimum efficiency, guaranteeing a steady output voltage between pins, and allowing for a more accurate transfer of energy.

The working principle behind these capacitors is complicated yet simple. When a voltage is applied, the capacitor will draw an amount of current proportional to the voltage applied. As the current builds, it turns the pole-pieces into a magnetic field. This, in turn, generates an opposing electrostatic field that applies a counter force that slightly reduces the amount of current, thus forming a new equilibrium. The capacitor also allows the electric fields of the anode and cathode to synchronize. This is done by exchanging electrons between them to more effectively transfer current.

The design of these capacitors makes them highly reliable, and with perfectly balanced charge forces, they typically have low ESR and ESL values. This ensures a consistent performance in operation and low losses in the form of power dissipation. In addition, due to their design, they are usually highly resistant to dielectric failure and other environmental factors, such as high temperature and vibration. Therefore, it is no surprise UST1C220MDD capacitors are most suitable in a variety of conditions.
