= High-Capacitance Filtering and Smoothing Capacitor for Power Applications =

The 470µF 16V aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a widely used generalpurpose component for power supply filtering, decoupling, and audio applications. It is available in throughhole radial and surface-mount (SMD) packages to suit various PCB designs.

Capacitance: 470µF ±20% tolerance

Voltage Rating: 16V DC

Common applications: Power supply smoothing, DC-DC converter filtering, audio coupling and bypass

Observe correct polarity - aluminum electrolytic capacitors are polarized devices. Reversing voltage can cause permanent damage or explosion.

Do not exceed the rated voltage of 16V DC to prevent capacitor failure.

= Package Includes =

Varies by seller:

Bulk packs (throughhole radial) 10 to 500+ pieces
Tape and reel (SMD) - 100 to 2,000+ pieces
Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping

For switching power supplies, a lowESR, highripplecurrent variant (e.g., UPM series from Nichicon or KY series from ChemiCon) is recommended for reliable long-term operation

Choose a capacitor with a voltage rating higher than your circuit's maximum voltage (e.g., 16V for a 12V rail) for reliable operation

For general-purpose filtering, a standard series with 105°C rating provides a good balance of cost and performance

Typical DC bias capacitance loss in MLCC capacitors does not apply to aluminum electrolytic types - they maintain rated capacitance up to rated voltage

This capacitor is ideal for linear power supply output filtering and battery-powered circuit decoupling

Avoid exceeding the rated voltage of 16V this is critical for safety and reliability

Avoid overheating during soldering typical soldering time is ≤5 seconds at ≤260°C

Avoid storing at high temperatures accelerated aging reduces lifetime
