Capacitor Lamex Kondensator 8 µF 450 V model KNM 8uFKNM (LXKON06)

Electrolytic capacitor Lamex Kondensator 8 µF 450 V (model KNM 8uFKNM) is a compact polarized component intended for use in electrical and electronic circuits that require 8 microfarad capacitance and up to 450 V working voltage. The capacitor is produced by Lamex and is suitable for applications such as power supply smoothing, coupling/decoupling, timing networks and filtering of ripple in industrial and consumer equipment. Before installation, verify the required polarity and the radial/axial mounting orientation for compatibility with the target circuit.

Advantages

The capacitor provides a stable nominal capacitance of 8 µF with a high rated voltage of 450 V, enabling use in higher-voltage circuits where space is limited. Its electrolytic design offers relatively high capacitance per volume compared to non-electrolytic types, which simplifies power supply stabilization and ripple suppression tasks. The component is suitable for standard through-hole mounting styles commonly used in repair and prototyping, and it is manufactured to industry-relevant electrical characteristics for predictable behavior in filtering and coupling applications.

Suitable for

• Power supply smoothing and ripple reduction in higher-voltage supplies
• Coupling and decoupling stages in audio and signal circuits
• Timing and RC networks that require 8 µF capacitance
• Industrial control equipment and consumer electronics requiring compact electrolytic capacitors

Key specifications

• Nominal capacitance: 8 µF
• Rated voltage: 450 V DC
• Dielectric type: electrolytic
• Polarity: polarized (verify positive/negative marking before installation)
• Mounting type: radial/axial through-hole style (confirm orientation prior to soldering)
• Typical applications: smoothing, filtering, coupling, timing

How to use

Identify the correct polarity on the component and on the circuit board before insertion; electrolytic capacitors can be damaged or cause failure if installed with reversed polarity. Select the mounting orientation (radial or axial) that matches the PCB footprint or the mechanical constraints of the assembly. Solder the leads using recommended soldering temperatures for standard through-hole components and allow the joint to cool. Ensure the capacitor voltage rating meets or exceeds the maximum DC voltage present in the circuit and allow for expected voltage transients.

Usage recommendations

Use this 8 µF, 450 V electrolytic capacitor in circuits where a polarized capacitor with a relatively high voltage rating is required. For long-term reliability, operate the capacitor below its maximum temperature rating and avoid continuous exposure to voltages close to the rated value. When replacing existing capacitors, match capacitance and voltage and confirm lead spacing and polarity to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility.
