This compact electrolytic capacitor from RS PRO uses electrolytes to create electrostatic fields and store energy for general-purpose use. It's a radial capacitor, meaning it has both terminals on one side.


The unit is easy to mount on a printed circuit board (PCB). All you have to do is push the leads through the holes on the board. To ensure safe use when the voltage exceeds the permitted value, it has a safety vent to prevent explosions.


You'll commonly find this type of electrolytic capacitor used for storing power in flash lamps or preventing voltage fluctuations in filtration equipment. It's also suitable for decoupling electrical networks to reduce high-frequency noise in power supply signals.
