This general-purpose electrolytic capacitor from RS PRO uses electrolytes to store energy and to create electrostatic fields. The axial-type capacitor has leads that are fitted on either end of its cap.


The product will prevent an explosion if the voltage gets too high thanks to its built-in safety vent that releases gas. Installation is simple as it has a through-hole design that lets you run its leads through holes in your printed circuit board (PCB). As this mounting method is particularly secure, it will help your capacitor stand up to environmental stress.


This capacitor meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) requirements, meaning it contains only minimal amounts of any harmful materials. You'll find this type of capacitor used for storing power in flash lamps or decoupling and preventing voltage fluctuations in filtering devices.
