Electrolytic Capacitor THT 2200µF 16V DC Ø12×20mm

Through-hole electrolytic capacitor with 2200µF capacitance and 16V DC rated voltage in a compact cylindrical Ø12×20mm can. Designed for power supply smoothing, decoupling and short-term energy storage in electronic circuits. The axial leaded THT package is intended for PCB mounting and offers high capacitance density in a small footprint suitable for converters, audio amplifiers and general-purpose electronics.

Advantages

The capacitor provides a large capacitance value of 2200µF at a low rated voltage of 16V, enabling effective ripple reduction and improved supply stability in low-voltage systems. Its compact Ø12×20mm metal can and axial THT leads simplify placement on through-hole PCBs and lend robustness for handling and soldering. The device is suitable for applications that require steady capacitance over typical operating temperatures and frequent power cycling.

Suitable for

• Power supply smoothing and bulk filtering in DC low-voltage circuits
• Decoupling between stages in audio amplifiers and signal processing
• Energy storage for short transient loads in converters and regulators
• General-purpose through-hole PCB designs and repair work

How to use

Observe polarity when inserting the capacitor on the PCB; the negative lead is usually marked on the can. Place the component so that lead spacing and orientation match the board layout, trim leads to the appropriate length and solder using standard through-hole soldering techniques. Allow adequate cooling time after soldering and avoid exposing the capacitor to voltages above the rated 16 V DC. For long service life, operate within the manufacturer’s recommended temperature range and avoid excessive ripple current beyond the component’s capability.

Usage recommendations

For best performance in power-supply applications, pair this 2200µF 16V capacitor with low-ESR components when high ripple currents are expected and provide sufficient ventilation or placement away from heat sources to extend lifetime. Verify polarity and voltage derating when used near the rated voltage.
