Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 6.8uF (5pcs)

The Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 6.8uF is a polarised electrolytic capacitor with a capacitance of 6.8 µF and a 50 V rating, sold in a pack of 5. This value is a good choice for coupling audio and signal stages, light filtering on small supply rails and RC timing circuits, and the 50 V rating gives a wide safety margin in 5 V, 12 V and 24 V projects.

Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 6.8uF Specifications

• Capacitance: 6.8 µF

Electrolytic Capacitor (50V) 6.8uF Applications

• Coupling and DC blocking between audio and signal stages
• Filtering and smoothing on small power rails
• RC timing circuits with the NE555 timer
• Op-amp and transistor amplifier circuits
• Replacing small electrolytic capacitors in repairs

What's in the Box

• 5 × 6.8 µF 50 V electrolytic capacitors

Tip: Electrolytic capacitors are polarised: connect the longer lead (+) to the higher voltage and the striped lead (−) to ground, as a reversed capacitor can heat up and fail. Keep the working voltage below the 50 V rating; about 40 V or less leaves a safe margin.
