470uF/25V (Electrolytic Capacitor) PACK 5

Description:

• This refers to a pack of 5 electrolytic capacitors.   
• "470uF" indicates the capacitance, which is 470 microfarads. This measures the capacitor's ability to store an electrical charge.   
• "25V" signifies the maximum voltage that can be safely applied across the capacitor.
• "Electrolytic" indicates the type of capacitor, which utilizes an electrolyte to achieve high capacitance values. These capacitors are polarized, meaning they have positive and negative terminals that must be connected correctly.   

Key Features:

• High Capacitance: 470uF allows for significant charge storage.   
• Moderate Voltage Rating: 25V is suitable for many low-voltage electronic circuits.
• Polarized: Requires correct polarity during installation.
• Compact Size: Electrolytic capacitors offer relatively high capacitance in a small package.   
• Cost-Effective: Widely available and inexpensive.

Applications:

• Power Supply Smoothing: Used to filter out ripple voltage in DC power supplies.
• Decoupling: Helps to stabilize voltage in electronic circuits by providing a local charge reservoir.   
• Audio Coupling: Can be used to block DC voltage while allowing AC audio signals to pass.
• Timing Circuits: Used in various timing applications.
• Filtering: Used to filter out unwanted frequencies in electronic signals.
