Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 5pcs 470uF (5pcs)

The Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 5pcs 470uF pack contains five polarised electrolytic capacitors with a capacitance of 470 µF and a voltage rating of 50 V. This large value is ideal for smoothing the output of rectifiers and power supplies and for supplying the short current peaks drawn by motors, LED strips and amplifiers, while the 50 V rating gives plenty of margin for 12 V and 24 V circuits.

Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 5pcs 470uF Specifications

• Capacitance: 470 µF
• Voltage rating: 50 V DC
• Type: electrolytic, polarised
• Mounting: through-hole
• Polarity marking: stripe on the negative side; the longer lead is positive
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 5pcs 470uF Applications

• Smoothing capacitors after bridge rectifiers in DC power supplies
• Bulk capacitors on motor driver supplies such as the L298N and L293D
• Input and output filtering for regulators such as the LM317 and 7812
• Supply reservoirs for audio amplifiers
• Long delays with the 555 timer (10 kΩ with 470 µF gives about 5 seconds in monostable mode)

What's in the Box

• 5 × 470 µF 50 V electrolytic capacitors

Tip: Electrolytic capacitors are polarised: connect the positive (longer) lead to the higher voltage and never reverse it. Large capacitors like this can hold a charge after the power is switched off, so discharge them through a resistor before working on a high-voltage circuit.
