Electrolytic Capacitor 3.3µF 50VDC THT Ø5×11mm — EB1475338827

Through-hole electrolytic capacitor with a nominal capacitance of 3.3µF and a rated DC voltage of 50V. The component is a polarized cylindrical THT device with physical dimensions Ø5×11 mm, intended for insertion into printed circuit boards where compact size and moderate capacitance are required. It is designed for typical power-supply filtering, decoupling and general-purpose electronic circuits that need a small polarized capacitor with a higher voltage rating than typical low-voltage types.

Advantages

This electrolytic capacitor combines a small radial footprint with a 50VDC voltage rating, offering a balance between compactness and voltage tolerance. Its through-hole format provides mechanical stability on PCBs and ease of soldering for hand-assembly and wave solder processes. The polarized construction delivers reliable capacitance for filtering and decoupling applications where orientation and correct polarity are observed.

Suitable for

• Power-supply smoothing and filtering in low- to mid-power electronics
• Decoupling of ICs and analog circuits where moderate capacitance is sufficient
• General-purpose PCB assemblies requiring a compact polarized capacitor
• Prototyping and repair of consumer electronics, measurement devices, and controllers

Key specifications

• Capacitance: 3.3 µF
• Rated voltage: 50 V DC
• Package type: through-hole (radial leads)
• Body dimensions: diameter 5 mm × height 11 mm
• Polarity: polarized (electrolytic)
• Typical applications: filtering, decoupling, general-purpose circuitry

How to use

Observe correct polarity when placing the capacitor on the PCB: connect the positive lead to the circuit node at higher potential and the negative lead to ground or lower potential node. Ensure lead spacing and hole diameter on the PCB match the component's radial lead configuration. For soldering, follow standard through-hole soldering practices and recommended temperature profiles to avoid overheating the component. Allow sufficient clearance from heat-sensitive parts when performing wave soldering or hot-air rework.

Usage recommendations

Do not apply reverse voltage or exceed the 50V DC rating; allow margin for ripple and transient peaks. For long-life or high-temperature applications, verify operating temperature limits and derate capacitance according to manufacturer guidelines. Store and handle the component in dry conditions to prevent electrolyte degradation prior to PCB assembly.
