6800uF 16V Electrolytic Capacitors

6800uF 16V Electrolytic Capacitors

A “6800uF 16V electrolytic capacitor” means a capacitor with a capacitance of 6800uF and a maximum voltage rating of 16 volts, designed to store electrical energy and smooth out voltage fluctuations.

Here’s a breakdown:

6800uF (Capacitance):

This indicates the capacitor’s ability to store electrical charge. A higher capacitance means it can store more energy.
16V (Voltage Rating):

This specifies the maximum voltage the capacitor can withstand without failing. Never exceed this voltage.
Electrolytic:

This type of capacitor uses an electrolyte (a substance that conducts electricity) to achieve a higher capacitance compared to other capacitor types, making them suitable for applications requiring large energy storage.
Polarized:

Electrolytic capacitors are polarized, meaning they have a positive and negative terminal, and must be connected correctly in a circuit.
