• Small sized electrolytic capacitor with a capacitance value of 10 microfarads and a voltage rating of 16 volts; “MINI” simply indicates that it is a smaller than standard size capacitor.

• An aluminum electrolytic capacitor, often only called an electrolytic capacitor, uses aluminum metal as one electrode, covered with a very then layer of aluminum oxide as dielectric, and which as an the electrolyte as its second electrode. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are typically used in power supplies and DC-DC converters for smoothing and buffering rectified DC voltages in many electronic devices. The are also used in industrial power supplies.

Breakdown:

• 10uF:

  This is the capacitance value, which means the capacitor can store 10 microfarads of electrical charge. 
• 16V:

  This is the maximum voltage the capacitor can safely handle. 
• Electrolytic Capacitor:

  This specifies the type of capacitor, which is polarized and usually has a higher capacitance value compared to other types. 
• Mini:

  This indicates that the capacitor is a smaller version compared to standard sized electrolytic capacitors. 

• Polarity:

  They have a positive and negative terminal, so it’s important to connect them correctly in a circuit. 
• Large capacitance values:

  Electrolytic capacitors can store relatively large amounts of electrical charge due to their design. 
• Applications:

  They are commonly used in power supplies, filtering circuits, and for decoupling in electronic device
