Looking for a general-purpose electrolytic capacitor? This one from RS PRO is an ideal choice. It works by using electrolytes to create electrostatic fields to store energy.


The capacitor is a radial-type of component, so both leads come out of the same side. If you exceed the maximum voltage, it has a safety vent construction to prevent it from exploding. It's also easy to mount thanks to its through-hole design, which allows you to run its leads through holes in a printed circuit board (PCB).


This product complies with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) standards, which means it contains only trace amounts of any harmful materials. This type of capacitor is often used to prevent voltage fluctuations in filtering devices and to store power in flash lamps.
