Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

The UUJ2C680MNQ6MS is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, a type of passive electronic component which has energy storage capacity. It is composed of two metal plates separated by a material known as the dielectric. It has a large capacitance value and is usually equipped with a snap-in device that allows it to be inserted into a printed circuit board for ease of installation. In addition, it typically features a wide temperature range and can operate in temperatures ranging from -55°C to 105°C.

Application Fields

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are commonly used in a wide variety of applications such as computing, industrial, HVAC, lighting, automotive and aerospace. Computing applications include motherboards, component level power supplies, and consumer products including laptops, desktops, and tablets. In industrial applications, these capacitors can be used in AC to DC power converters, photovoltaic solar panel inverters, high frequency and radio frequency power supplies, as well as power supplies for medical devices.

In HVAC applications, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are typically used for motor speed control, start and run capacitors in air conditioners and heat pumps, and in ductless air conditioning systems. In the lighting industry, these capacitors are used for LED lighting and are designed for continuous long-term use. In the automotive and aerospace industries, aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used for various power management functions such as starting, protection, and DC/DC conversion.

Working Principle

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor works by storing electrical energy in the form of an electric field that exists between two thin metal plates. One plate is made of an anode, which is composed of an aluminum metal foil. The other plate is made of a cathode, which is composed of an oxide-coated aluminum metal foil. Between the two plates is a dielectric material, which is usually a polymer electrolyte that is soaked with a highly conductive liquid.

The anode and cathode plates are connected to a power supply, and when a voltage is applied across the capacitor, an electric field is created between the two plates, which allows current to flow. As the electric current flows, a small amount of charge is stored in the capacitor, which can be used to provide an electrical charge. The amount of charge stored in the capacitor is determined by the size of the plates and the thickness of the dielectric material between them.

The operation of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is similar to other types of capacitors. However, the difference is that aluminum electrolytic capacitors require a minimum voltage to be able to store a charge, and when the voltage applied is greater than the rated voltage, the capacitor will become overcharged and can suffer damage. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the rated voltage is not exceeded when using an aluminum electrolytic capacitor.

Conclusion

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a type of passive electronic component which are widely used for a variety of applications such as computing, industrial, HVAC, lighting, automotive and aerospace. These capacitors work by creating an electric field between two metal plates and storing energy in the form of an electric charge. It is important to note that these capacitors require a minimum voltage to be able to store a charge, and exceeding the rated voltage can lead to damage.
