π Product Overview
This radial aluminum-electrolytic capacitor delivers 470 microfarads (Β΅F) of capacitance at a rated voltage of 100 volts DC, packaged in a compact 16 mm diameter Γ 25 mm length can. It is built for energy storage, smoothing, filtering, and decoupling in circuits where high voltage and moderate capacitance are required.
π Why Itβs Ideal for Your Projects
-
High voltage headroom β With a 100 V rating, the capacitor is suited for higher-voltage power supplies, industrial electronics, motor drives, or circuits with moderate transients.
-
Moderate bulk capacitance in compact size β 470 Β΅F gives meaningful storage for smoothing ripple, absorbing surges or stabilising rails while the 16 mm Γ 25 mm size keeps the footprint manageable for PCBs.
-
Reliable general-purpose performance β Designed for applications where large value capacitors are required without going into oversized or exotic components.
