1000uF 16V Electrolytic Capacitor – Radial Polarized Aluminum Capacitor, ±20%

The 1000uF 16V Radial Electrolytic Capacitor is a general-purpose polarized capacitor for circuits requiring relatively high capacitance. Its 1000uF value makes it useful for storing charge and smoothing changes in DC voltage.

In power supply circuits, it can be placed across a DC supply rail to help reduce low-frequency voltage fluctuations and ripple. It can also be used for decoupling, transient buffering, coupling, and filtering in suitable circuits.

How to Use

1. Identify the positive and negative terminals before installation.
2. Connect the positive lead to the positive voltage rail.
3. Connect the negative lead to ground or the negative side of the circuit.
4. Make sure the circuit voltage remains below the capacitor's 16V rating.
5. Mount the capacitor securely through the PCB or prototype board.
6. For power-supply applications, consider ripple current, temperature, capacitance tolerance, and available voltage margin when selecting the component.

Important Notes

• This is a polarized capacitor. Reverse polarity can cause overheating, leakage, venting, or capacitor failure.
• 16V is the maximum rated voltage, not a target operating voltage. Select a higher-voltage capacitor when circuit transients may approach the rating.
• Do not apply excessive voltage beyond the rated 16V.
• Do not connect a polarized electrolytic capacitor directly across an unsuitable AC source.
• Actual capacitance may vary within the stated ±20% tolerance.
• Physical dimensions may vary depending on manufacturer and stock.
• Always discharge the capacitor safely before handling or servicing a circuit.
• Do not use a capacitor that is swollen, leaking, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
• Ripple-current requirements should be considered in power supply and high-current applications.
