Product Description

47µF 16V Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor

= Compact, General-Purpose Capacitor for Smoothing, Filtering, and Decoupling =

The 47µF 16V aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a versatile and commonly used component for a wide range of applications requiring moderate capacitance and voltage ratings. This capacitor is available in both through-hole radial and surface mount (SMD) packages, making it adaptable for various PCB designs.

Capacitance: 47µF ±20% tolerance
Voltage Rating: 16V DC
Common applications: Power supply filtering, coupling, decoupling, and bypass circuits
Observe correct polarity - aluminum electrolytic capacitors are polarized devices. Reversing the 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:

  1. Bulk packs (throughhole radial) 10 to 500+ pieces
  2. Tape and reel (SMD) - 100 to 2,000+ pieces
  3. Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping
For generalpurpose filtering, a 105°C, lowESR variant is the most recommended for reliable long-term operation. Look for series like Panasonic FK or Nichicon UWD.
Choose a capacitor with a voltage rating higher than your circuit's maximum voltage (e.g., 16V for a 12V rail) to ensure reliable operation and long life.
This capacitor is ideal for power supply output filtering and battery-powered circuit decoupling.
