Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are a type of capacitor used extensively in electronic and industrial applications due to their cheap manufacturing process and their ability to offer a wide range of capacitances in a relatively small package. Unlike other types of capacitors, aluminum electrolytic capacitors generally have only one type of layer that can be charged or discharged, in contrast to other capacitors that have two distinct layers. The specific type of aluminum electrolytic capacitor in this article, the UVZ1H102MHH, is a non-polarized variety with screw terminals.

Applications

The UVZ1H102MHH is a non-polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor that offers a long service life and high ripple current capacity making it suitable for use in applications, such as, motor drives, UPS systems, power factor correction, fluorescent lighting, air conditioning equipment, electric motor control equipment, etc. Due to its capability to operate at 315VAC (root mean square, RMS), the device may also be used in high voltage power supplies. Additionally, the capacitors are designed to meet more rigorous requirements associated with professional audio-visual equipment and consumer electronic applications.

Working Principle

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors generally consist of an anodized aluminum sheet etched with a chemical treatment to form a dielectric layer. This dielectric layer is then combined with an electrolyte solution to form an electrolytic capacitor. During operation, the electrolyte acts as a charge carrier allowing charges to move from one layer to the other creating a charge gradient when a voltage is applied across the two layers. This electric field across the dielectric layer, comprised of the electrolyte combined with the anodized aluminum sheet, creates an electrical capacitance enabling the capacitor to store energy and release it as needed.

The UVZ1H102MHH aluminum electrolytic capacitor makes use of this principle to enable a capacitance of 10,000 µF with a voltage rating of 315VAC (RMS). It is constructed using an anodized aluminum sheet with copper connections and a paper sleeve. The terminals are designed with screw joints to ensure a reliable connection. The capacitor is designed to operate in a temperature range of -25°C to +85°C making it suitable for use in a wide range of industrial applications.
