Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are widely used in applications that require large capacitance, such as AC adaptors, DC/DC converters and power supplies. They are also used in high power audio equipment, computers, communications and aerospace systems. The UWT1C100MCL1GB capacitor is an aluminum electrolytic capacitor which has a high capacitance and voltage rating of 100 μF (micro Farad) and 16 V respectively. It is a general purpose aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a radial leaded type, rated for 105°C operation, and has an extended life of 1000 hours.

Working Principle

An aluminum electrolytic capacitor consists of two metal plates that are separated by an electrolyte and dielectric material. One metal plate is made from aluminum foil and the other is made up of an oxide layer. An electric current is then applied between the plates, the oxide layer will form on the aluminum plate and the electrons move onto the oxide layer, forming a positive charge on the oxide layer and negative charge on the aluminum foil. This creates an electrostatic field between the plates, creating a capacitance.

The capacitance of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor is affected by the following factors: the area of the plates, the thickness of the dielectric and the type of electrolyte. The higher the capacitance, the more dielectric material and the thicker the plates, the higher the capacitance. The type of electrolyte also affects the capacitance and usually, a lower loss factor is preferred.

Application Field

The UWT1C100MCL1GB capacitor has a voltage rating of 16 V and 100 μF, making it suitable for many mid-range applications. It is also designed for a wide temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, automotive and consumer applications. In controllers and consumer electronics, it is particularly used in applications where a capacitor needs to handle a high peak current, such as snubber, hold-up and filtering circuits. This type of capacitor also has good ripple current capabilities, allowing it to handle high peak currents in filtering applications. In automotive applications, its high capacitance makes it suitable for starting circuits, power window switching circuits and ignition systems.

The UWT1C100MCL1GB capacitor is also typically used in applications such as telecommunications, automotive, industrial control, battery backups, and digital circuit designs. It is an ideal choice for applications that require high peak currents and a wide temperature range.
