UUQ1V101MCL1GS Capacitors

Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a type of capacitor that uses aluminum oxide (an insulating layer) and electrolyte to store energy as an electric field. The electrolyte acts as a dielectric and the aluminum oxide serves as the capacitance plate. They are widely used in various types of electronic equipment, such as computers, mobile phones, and consumer electronics.

The UUQ1V101MCL1GS aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a low-profile, surface-mount device. It is designed for both high-frequency and ripple current applications, with a capacitance value of 100µF, a rated voltage of 10V, and a tolerance of ±20%.

Application Field

Due to its small size, the UUQ1V101MCL1GS aluminum electrolytic capacitor is perfect for use in narrow spaces. It is mostly used in LED lighting, automotive systems, industrial equipment, and various types of consumer electronics. Its low-profile nature makes it ideal for surface-mount applications.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors work like other kinds of capacitors. When voltage is applied to the device, electrons flow through the electrolyte, charging the dielectric and creating an electric field between the aluminum oxide plates. This electric field is stored as energy and can be discharged when the voltage is removed.

When voltage is applied to the device, electrons flow through the electrolyte, charging the dielectric and creating an electric field between the aluminum oxide plates. This electric field is stored as energy and can be discharged when the voltage is removed. As voltage is applied, electrons move through the electrolyte and plate material, increasing the surface area exposed to the electric field.

When the capacitor is discharged, the electric field collapses, and the stored energy dissipates. The UUQ1V101MCL1GS aluminum electrolytic capacitor has a high ripple current rating, making it ideal for use in applications that need to handle high current load and sudden changes in voltage.
