0.22µF 50V Electrolytic Capacitor

0.22µF 50V Electrolytic Capacitor - Description

A 0.22µF 50V electrolytic capacitor is a polarized passive electronic component used for filtering, decoupling, and energy storage in electronic circuits. It has a capacitance of 0.22 microfarads (µF) and can handle a maximum voltage of 50 volts (V).

Key Features:

• Capacitance: 0.22µF (220nF)
• Voltage Rating: 50V (Maximum working voltage)
• Type: Electrolytic (Polarized)
• Tolerance: ±20% (typical for electrolytic capacitors)
• Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C (varies by manufacturer)
• Package Type: Radial or SMD (depending on the variant)

Applications:

✅ Power Supply Filtering: Used to smooth out voltage fluctuations.
✅ Decoupling & Noise Reduction: Helps stabilize voltage in circuits.
✅ Timing Circuits: Works in conjunction with resistors to set time delays.
✅ Signal Coupling: Blocks DC while allowing AC signals to pass.
✅ Audio Circuits: Used in amplifiers for signal conditioning.
