Electrolytic capacitor THT - this category contains high quality electrolytic capacitors made in THT technology. These are electronic components which have been used for many years in systems acting as power supplies or voltage stabilizers. Very often they become basic elements of electronic systems of passive or active filters, they perfectly counteract disturbances arising for example in systems with electric motors, and also find application in many other places. We offer electrolytic capacitors with capacitance from 0,47 µF to 4700 µF at voltage from 16 V to 100 V.
An electrolytic capacitor is an electronic component whose structure is based on the use of an electrolyte as the material of one of two plates (conductors) separated by a dielectric. This item is intended for, among others: for through-hole installation.
The electrolyte is most often in a liquid state (but can be solid), while the second electrode is most often made of aluminum - this is the most popular type that electronics engineers most often have in mind when talking about an electrolytic capacitor. However, it may as well be a component with a solid electrolyte and tantalum as covers.
In the case of electrolytic capacitors, remember that these components only work when properly polarized. They are well adapted to work in a wide temperature range , can maintain the rated voltage of the device and are resistant to short-term high current consumption . Thanks to the use of an electrolyte, the electrolytic capacitor can obtain a large capacity in relation to its small size . Such properties make the use of electrolytic capacitors extremely wide. In the passive elements section, in addition to capacitors, you can also find fuses , potentiometers , resistors and many others.
What are capacitors used for?
Capacitors are an essential element when designing and building voltage stabilizers or power supplies . Such elements ensure that the instantaneous voltage value remains constant between current pulses from the rectifier . From a practical point of view, they provide protection at high voltages, which could lead to, for example, damage to the system.
Electrolytic capacitors with large capacities are particularly often used in transformer power supplies. Capacitors also work well as anti-interference components. Together with resistors, they form the basis in timer circuits (RC circuits) or in passive and active filters - for example in an amplifier. They can also be easily found, for example, on the motherboards of desktop computers.
Electrolytic capacitors - what else is worth knowing about them?
In digital circuits, the current consumption can suddenly change by even several orders of magnitude - then the capacitor will filter out the voltage changes. In such places, components with the smallest possible dimensions and high capabilities are usually used - electrolytic capacitors offered by our store perfectly fit this principle.
What does our store offer in this category? - Capacity and voltage range
Our electrolytic capacitors from this category are made using THT technology (through-hole capacitors). These are electronic components that will work very well in many devices. We offer capacitors in sizes ranging from 5 to 16 mm in diameter at the base and 7 to 25 mm in cylindrical height . Capacitances depend on the size of the components - we have a wide range of capacitors with different capacities : 0.47 uF, 1 uF, 2.2 uF, 4.7 uF, 10 uF, 100 uF, 1000 uF, 22 uF, 220 uF, 2200 uF , 330uF, 47uF, 470uF, 4700uF. Due to the fact that we sell them in larger quantities, the price for a single element is very low. The most commonly used types of capacitors are film capacitors, ceramic capacitors and tantalum capacitors.

THT electrolytic capacitors - FAQ
Electrolytic capacitors are electronic components used, among others, during the design and, above all, production of power supplies and various types of voltage stabilizers. Thanks to the electric capacitor, the voltage, or more precisely its instantaneous value, is the same between current pulses generated, for example, by a rectifier. The purpose of the electrolytic capacitor is to protect against too high voltage, which may damage the entire system.
Electrolytic capacitors are electronic components used, among others, for the production of power supplies and voltage stabilizers. They are also used in active and passive filters. Moreover, they are essential in many DIY projects. They enable short, high-intensity electricity consumption. In addition, electrolytic capacitors are distinguished by a wide operating temperature range. Individual models differ not only in capacity, but also in operating voltage.
