2.2uF 50V Radial Electrolytic Capacitor

2.2µF 50V Radial Electrolytic Capacitor Specification:

• Capacitance: 2.2µF (microfarads)
• Voltage Rating: 50V DC
• Type: Electrolytic (polarized)
• Package Type: Radial (leads extend from the bottom for through-hole mounting)
• Tolerance: Typically ±20% (varies by manufacturer)
• Temperature Range: Commonly -40°C to +85°C or up to +105°C (depending on the manufacturer)
• ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance): Typically low, as specified by the manufacturer, and it affects the capacitor’s performance in high-frequency applications.
• Leakage Current: Low leakage, measured at rated voltage after a set period (typically within manufacturer’s specification).
• Life Expectancy: 1000 to 5000 hours at rated voltage and temperature, depending on the specific type and manufacturer.
• Polarity: Polarized, so correct polarity must be observed during installation. The positive lead is typically marked (e.g., a stripe on the capacitor body).

Applications:

• Filtering: Used in power supplies, audio circuits, and signal processing.
• Decoupling: Often used in electronic circuits to smooth voltage or filter noise.

Electrolytic capacitors are designed for applications requiring higher capacitance values and are suitable for low-frequency filtering and decoupling. Always ensure the voltage rating is not exceeded during use.
