Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a capacitor with two electrodes separated by an electrolyte. The electrolyte is a chemical solution in which a DC voltage causes ions to be transported. By connecting the electrodes, an electric current flows, which can cause a build-up of electrical charge in the capacitor. The capacitor is in essence a miniature battery that can store a charge and then release it when needed.

UVY2D2R2MED Application Field and Working Principle

The UVY2D2R2MED aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Vishay is a unique high-performance radial-lead capacitor with a low impedance and a high temperature rating of up to +∼80°C. This allows the capacitor to be used in a variety of applications, including communications, signal coupling, and voltage regulation.

The UVY2D2R2MED utilizes a solid electrolyte, which gives it excellent stability over time, as well as improved thermal and electrical stability. The aluminum electrolyte also increases the mechanical strength of the capacitor, making it durable and resistant to mechanical vibrations and shocks.

The UVY2D2R2MED is designed to operate at an operating temperature range between -25°C and +80°C, allowing the capacitor to be used in a wide range of applications. The capacitor is also RoHS compliant, making it suitable for many industrial applications.

The UVY2D2R2MED works by using electrolytic conduction, which involves the flow of electrons between two plates this is achieved by using a chemical solution as an electrolyte. As current passes through the capacitor, the current causes the ions in the electrolyte to be split, producing an electrical charge.

When this charge is stored in the capacitor, a voltage is applied, which causes the ions to be moved by the electric field from the anode to the cathode. This movement of ions creates a current which is stored in the capacitor and can be released as needed.

The UVY2D2R2MED aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a robust and reliable device, which makes it ideal for a variety of industrial applications. The high temperature rating and low impedance make it ideal for use in a wide range of applications, such as communications, signal coupling, and voltage regulation.
