If you’re looking for an electrolytic capacitor for general-purpose use, choose this one from RS PRO. It uses electrolytes to create electrostatic fields for storing energy.


This capacitor is a radial type, so both leads come out of one side. You can mount it with ease by running its leads through holes in your printed circuit board (PCB). There's also no need to worry about fire hazards as it has a safety vent to prevent the unit from exploding if the maximum voltage is exceeded.


This capacitor meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) standards, meaning it contains only minimal amounts of any harmful materials. It's often used to suppress high-frequency noise in power supply signals, store power in flash lamps and prevent voltage fluctuations in filtering devices.
