Description
Electrolytic capacitors are widely used in electronic circuits due to their high capacitance values and compact size. Their primary applications include filtering and smoothing in power supplies, decoupling to maintain stable voltage for components, coupling in audio and communication circuits to transfer signals, and creating time-delay circuits for timing or oscillation purposes. Additionally, they can be employed for temporary energy storage in devices such as camera flashes.
This specific capacitor boasts a capacitance value of 470uF and a voltage rating of 25V, making it suitable for a wide range of electronic applications. With its radial lead configuration and compact size, the ECA-1EM471 is designed for easy integration into various circuit designs. These capacitors are polarized and should not be hooked up backwards. The negative is denoted by a white line down the side of the capacitor with a negative symbol.
