Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The UUG2A221MNQ6ZD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor is a common component found in numerous industrial and consumer applications. It is a very efficient and reliable way to store energy. Its main component is an electrolyte jelly material, which helps to convert electrical energy into a form which can be retained for a long duration of time. In addition, its ability to withstand high temperatures and its long life ensures it is one of the most preferred capacitor components.

Application Field

The primary applications of the UUG2A221MNQ6ZD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor include filtering, bypassing, compensation, frequency discrimination, energy storage, and motor control. This type of capacitor is widely used in consumer electronics, industrial automation, medical and laboratory equipment, and automotive applications, among many others. For example, they are used to store energy for flashing and temperature regulation in automotive dashboards, and they are also used to control ceiling fans and washing machines.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are also used in industrial environments, such as automated manufacturing lines, where their presence ensures reliable, consistent performance and maximum efficiency. They can also be found in medical equipment, such as x-ray machines and MRI scanners, where their reliable, efficient storage of electrical power helps to ensure correct, consistent operation.

Working Principle

The working principle of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors is based on the behavior of Electrons. Electrons in the electrolytic jelly get attracted towards the anode, and move away from the cathode, because they are more attracted to the anode. This movement generates an electric field between the two electrodes. The electric field creates an imbalanced distribution of electrons across the capacitor plates, resulting in a separation of positive and negative charges. This separation of charges creates a potential difference, or "voltage" across the capacitor plates.

When the device is connected to a power supply and voltage is applied, the negative charges stored in the electrolytic jelly move towards the anode, and the positive electrons move away from the cathode. This creates an electric current, which is stored as energy in the capacitor. When the power supply is removed, the electric current and the associated voltage drop, and the electrolytic jelly stores the charge.
