Product Description (Detailed):
Optimize your electronic circuits with our versatile 10µF 63V Electrolytic Capacitor, an essential component for a vast array of applications. This popular through-hole radial polarized capacitor, often referred to as a 10 microfarad 63 volt capacitor, is designed for reliable charge storage, filtering, and signal conditioning in diverse electronic designs. With a robust 63V voltage rating, it provides ample electrical headroom for common DC voltage rails, ensuring stable and long-lasting performance in circuits ranging from audio equipment to power supplies.
The aluminum electrolytic construction offers a significant capacitance value within a compact, radial form factor, making it an ideal choice for smoothing out voltage fluctuations, decoupling noise from power lines, and serving as a coupling capacitor to pass AC signals while blocking DC. As a polarized capacitor, correct orientation with respect to positive and negative terminals is crucial for proper operation and to prevent damage – the negative lead is typically marked with a stripe and a shorter lead. Its through-hole radial leaded configuration allows for easy and secure vertical mounting onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) and seamless integration into breadboards for rapid prototyping. Whether you're building a new audio amplifier, stabilizing a microcontroller's power input, designing an active filter, or simply performing repairs on existing electronics, this 10µF 63V electrolytic capacitor delivers consistent and effective performance. It's a fundamental building block for any electronics enthusiast, student, or professional seeking to build reliable, efficient, and low-noise circuits. Invest in quality components to guarantee the integrity and optimal function of your electronic creations.
The 10µF 63V electrolytic capacitor is a general-purpose capacitor used for smoothing, filtering, and energy storage in DC power circuits. It is commonly found in Arduino power rails, op-amp circuits, voltage regulators, and timing applications.
With a 63V rating, it can safely handle voltages in higher-voltage DC power systems. The radial lead design allows easy insertion into breadboards, stripboards, or PCBs. As a polarized capacitor, it must be connected with the correct polarity.
It is perfect for use in DC-DC converters, audio filtering, and sensor interfacing circuits.
