1 uF/50V Miniature Electrolytic Capacitors

• Electrolytic capacitors are used in huge quantities, they are able to provide a larger capacitance per volume than other types of capacitor. This gives them very many uses in circuits where high currents or low frequencies are involved. Electrolytic capacitors are typically used most in applications such as audio amplifiers of all types (hi-fi to mobile phones) and in power supply circuits.

• Like any other capacitor, it is necessary to understand the advantages and limitations of these capacitors to enable them to be used most effectively.
