UVK2E100MPD Application Field and Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are one of the most common types of capacitors used in electronics today, and are found in all sorts of devices. This particular variant, the UVK2E100MPD, is a long life, low-leakage, and high reliability aluminum electrolytic capacitor whose application field includes power supplies, telecommunications equipment, computers, and medical electronics.

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of two electrodes separated by a dielectric, namely an aluminum foil and an electrolyte. When a voltage is applied, an electric current is generated across the electrolyte and it dissipates energy not by heat, but by forming a barrier for electrons which eliminates the need for cooling. This advantage makes aluminum electrolytic capacitors a preferred choice for many of today’s electronic devices with limited space and heat dissipation capabilities.

The anode of the UVK2E100MPD is constructed from a layer of aluminum foil which has been specially treated with an electrolyte which leads to increased capacitance and long life. The electrolyte reacts with the aluminum to form a semi-permeable oxide layer which acts as the dielectric. The oxide layer is very thin, so high capacitance values can be achieved in these capacitors.

The cathode of the capacitor is made up of a conductive metal layer, separated from the anode by the dielectric. This metal layer is the electrode that collects electrons and current when a voltage is applied across the capacitor. It is also the layer that can become damaged if higher voltage is applied to it, leading to a decrease in capacitance. A good quality capacitor like the UVK2E100MPD will have thicker cathode layers to increase itsvoltage tolerance and ensure a long life.

The working principle of the UVK2E100MPD aluminum electrolytic capacitor is fairly simple and straightforward. When a voltage is applied, the electrolyte enters the anode and forms an oxide layer. This oxide layer acts as a dielectric and blocks the flow of electrons, leading to a capacitance across the capacitor. The capacitance of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is also affected by its physical size, as larger capacitors tend to have higher capacitance values. The UVK2E100MPD, as well as other aluminum electrolytic capacitors, have long life due to their robust construction and precision manufacturing.

It\'s quite clear then that the UVK2E100MPD aluminum electrolytic capacitor has great potential for use in many different applications. With its long life, low leakage, high reliability, and excellent performance in harsh environments, the UVK2E100MPD is ideal for a variety of applications including power supplies, telecommunications systems, computers, and medical electronics.
