Electrolytic Capacitor 15µF 450VDC THT EB2003768259

Through-hole electrolytic capacitor with 15µF capacitance and 450VDC rated voltage, designed for use in polarization-sensitive circuits that require high-voltage smoothing, filtering or short-term energy storage. The THT package provides secure mechanical attachment to printed circuit boards, making the component suitable for power supplies, amplifiers and industrial electronic modules where stable capacitance and reliable performance under high voltage are required.

Advantages

This electrolytic capacitor offers a compact combination of relatively high voltage rating and moderate capacitance for space-constrained assemblies. The polarized design delivers predictable behavior in DC circuits that need smoothing and ripple reduction. The through-hole (THT) format improves mechanical retention and facilitates manual or wave soldering during assembly. Stable capacitance and rated voltage help maintain performance over typical operating conditions in power electronics.

Suitable for

• High-voltage power supply filtering and smoothing
• Tube and solid-state audio amplifier power stages
• Industrial control and measurement electronics
• Energy storage for pulse or transient loads
• Repair and prototyping of legacy equipment with through-hole components

Key specifications

• Capacitance: 15 µF
• Rated voltage: 450 V DC
• Package type: Through-hole (THT)
• Polarity: Polarized electrolytic
• Typical application: High-voltage smoothing, filtering, energy storage

How to use

Install the capacitor on the PCB observing correct polarity: the negative terminal must be placed according to the circuit’s marking. Ensure lead spacing matches the PCB drill pattern and that the component is fully seated before soldering. Follow standard soldering practices for through-hole electrolytic components, allowing appropriate cooling time. Verify voltage and temperature ratings in the specific circuit; do not exceed the 450 V DC rated voltage and respect the device’s operating temperature range as specified by the circuit designer.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid sustained exposure to temperatures near the capacitor’s maximum rating and limit ripple current to within the design limits of the circuit. When replacing components in existing devices, choose a capacitor with equal or higher voltage rating and similar capacitance to maintain circuit behavior; observe polarity and use proper mounting and soldering techniques.
