470µF 25V Radial Electrolytic Capacitor

Ensure clean, stable power delivery in your custom electronics with the 470µF 25V Radial Electrolytic Capacitor. This essential passive component acts as a local energy reservoir, smoothing out voltage ripples and filtering low-frequency noise in DC power supplies, audio amplifiers, and motor driver circuits.

Designed with standard through-hole radial leads, it is perfectly suited for both solderless breadboard prototyping and permanent PCB soldering. With a 25V rating, it provides a safe operating overhead for common 3.3V, 5V, 9V, and 12V DC applications, making it a highly versatile component for Arduino projects, custom power supplies, and general electronics repair.

Key Features

• Power Smoothing: Effectively filters out voltage fluctuations and ripples in DC power lines, ensuring sensitive ICs and microcontrollers receive a steady supply.

• Versatile Voltage Rating: The 25V maximum rating makes it suitable and safe for a wide variety of common low-voltage applications (e.g., 5V logic, 12V motor drivers).

• Through-Hole Design: Features standard radial leads that are easy to bend, trim, and solder onto custom perfboards or insert directly into prototyping breadboards.

• Clear Polarity Marking: The aluminum casing features a distinct gray/white stripe indicating the negative (-) lead, alongside a shorter negative physical leg, preventing dangerous reverse-polarity installations.
