Compact, General-Purpose Capacitor for Smoothing, Filtering, and Decoupling

The 47µF 16V aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a versatile and commonly used component for a wide range of applications requiring moderate capacitance and voltage ratings. This capacitor is available in both through-hole radial and surface mount (SMD) packages, making it adaptable for various PCB designs.

Capacitance: 47µF ±20% tolerance

Voltage Rating: 16V DC

Common applications: Power supply filtering, coupling, decoupling, and bypass circuits

Observe correct polarity - aluminum electrolytic capacitors are polarized devices. Reversing the voltage can cause permanent damage or explosion.

Do not exceed the rated voltage of 16V DC to prevent capacitor failure.

Package Includes

Varies by seller:

Bulk packs (throughhole radial) 10 to 500+ pieces
Tape and reel (SMD) - 100 to 2,000+ pieces
Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping

For generalpurpose filtering, a 105°C, lowESR variant is the most recommended for reliable long-term operation. Look for series like Panasonic FK or Nichicon UWD.

Choose a capacitor with a voltage rating higher than your circuit's maximum voltage (e.g., 16V for a 12V rail) to ensure reliable operation and long life.

This capacitor is ideal for power supply output filtering and battery-powered circuit decoupling.
