Need an electrolytic capacitor that's safe and easy to use? Turn to this unit from RS PRO. The through-hole mounting design lets you run its leads through holes in your printed circuit board (PCB) for simple installation.


This capacitor works by using electrolytes to create electrostatic fields and store energy. It's a radial type of component, meaning both leads come out of the same side. It has a safety vent to prevent explosions if the maximum voltage is exceeded, keeping you and your work environment protected from fire hazards.


The product meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) standards, so it contains only trace amounts of any harmful materials. You'll commonly find this type of capacitor used to suppress high-frequency noise in power supply signals. It's also a good choice for storing power in flash lamps and protecting filtering devices against voltage fluctuations.
