Electrolytic Capacitor 47µF 50V — EB1322880890

Radial electrolytic capacitor with 47µF capacitance and 50V DC voltage rating, model EB1322880890, designed for smoothing, decoupling and short-term energy storage in electronic circuits. This polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor is intended for through-hole mounting and provides compact size and stable performance within its specified capacitance and voltage limits. Typical applications include power supply filtering, audio path coupling/decoupling and general-purpose circuit stabilization.

Advantages

The capacitor offers a 47µF capacitance at a 50V rated voltage, combining moderate capacitance with a relatively high voltage margin for a wide range of circuits. As a radial, through-hole component it is easy to handle during prototyping and repairs and provides reliable mechanical anchoring on PCBs. Being a polarized aluminum electrolytic type, it delivers high volumetric capacitance compared with non-electrolytic alternatives and is suitable for smoothing low-frequency ripple and storing charge for transient events.

Suitable for

• Power supply filtering and smoothing in linear and switched-mode supplies
• Decoupling and local energy storage near active components
• Audio equipment coupling/decoupling stages (observing polarity)
• General-purpose electronics projects and repairs requiring through-hole components

Key specifications

• Capacitance: 47 µF
• Rated voltage (DC): 50 V
• Polarization: polarized (electrolytic)
• Package type: radial, through-hole
• Dielectric type: aluminum electrolytic
• Typical application temperature range: standard ambient electronic use (refer to manufacturer datasheet for exact limits)

How to use

Observe polarity when installing: the negative lead must connect to the circuit negative (or lower potential) node and the positive lead to the positive supply or signal path. Place the capacitor so that its voltage rating exceeds the maximum circuit voltage to ensure safe operation. During soldering, avoid prolonged high temperatures at the leads; follow standard through-hole soldering practices. For long-term reliability, ensure the capacitor is not exposed to voltages, temperatures, or ripple currents beyond its rated specifications.

Usage recommendations

Use this 47µF 50V electrolytic capacitor where moderate capacitance and a 50V margin are required. In audio circuits, respect polarity and allow appropriate coupling networks to block DC where needed. For power supplies, pair with suitable low-ESR capacitors if the design requires low ripple at high frequencies. Replace electrolytic capacitors showing bulging, leakage, or significant capacitance drift.
