Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 100uF (5pcs)

The Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 100uF is a polarised electrolytic capacitor with a capacitance of 100 µF and a 50 V rating, sold in a pack of 5. It is a common bulk capacitor for smoothing power supplies and for holding the supply steady when motors, servos, LED strips or Wi-Fi boards draw sudden bursts of current. The 50 V rating leaves a wide safety margin in 5 V to 24 V projects.

Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 100uF Specifications

Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 100uF Applications

• Smoothing after a rectifier in small power supplies
• Bulk decoupling for servos, DC motors and LED strips
• Steadying the supply of ESP8266 and ESP32 boards during Wi-Fi bursts
• Long-delay RC timing with the NE555 timer
• Electronics education and prototyping

What's in the Box

• 5 × 100 µF 50 V electrolytic capacitors

Tip: Electrolytic capacitors are polarised: connect the longer lead (+) to the higher voltage and the lead next to the stripe (−) to ground. A charged 100 µF capacitor can hold its charge after power is removed, so discharge it through a resistor before handling it in higher-voltage circuits.
