Capacitor M.S.-Tronik Kondensator 35 µF 450 V (KNM)

M.S.-Tronik Kondensator 35 µF 450 V (KNM) is an electrolytic fixed-value capacitor offering 35 microfarads of capacitance with a 450-volt rated working voltage. It is intended for use in power supply filtering, motor start/run circuits, and general voltage stabilization tasks where a polarized electrolytic capacitor of this capacitance and voltage rating is required. The component stores and releases electrical charge to smooth ripple, stabilize DC levels, and assist in transient suppression in a wide range of electronic and electromechanical systems.

Advantages

This electrolytic capacitor provides a compact solution for energy storage and smoothing in high-voltage circuits, combining a relatively high capacitance with a 450 V rating suitable for demanding applications. Its fixed-value design ensures predictable behavior in filtering and timing circuits. The capacitor’s construction supports typical operating conditions found in power supplies and motor control assemblies, making it useful for repair and replacement tasks where specification match is important.

Suitable for

• Power supply ripple filtering and smoothing in high-voltage circuits
• Motor start and run circuits that require polarized capacitance
• Voltage stabilization and decoupling in electromechanical equipment
• Repair and replacement of failed or degraded capacitors with similar electrical characteristics

When it may not be suitable

This polarized electrolytic capacitor is not suitable for AC coupling applications that require non-polar capacitors, nor for signal-path uses where low-loss, non-electrolytic types (such as film or ceramic) are preferred. It may also be inappropriate where very low equivalent series resistance (ESR) or extremely long lifetime under high ripple currents is required unless the capacitor’s specific ESR and ripple current ratings have been confirmed from technical documentation.

Key specifications

• Capacitance: 35 µF
• Rated voltage: 450 V DC
• Type: Electrolytic, polarized
• Typical applications: Power filtering, motor circuits, voltage stabilization

How to use

Install the capacitor observing correct polarity: the positive terminal must match the circuit’s positive node and the negative terminal the circuit ground or negative node. Ensure the working voltage of the circuit does not exceed the 450 V rating and allow appropriate spacing and mounting for heat dissipation. Verify the capacitor’s physical fit and terminal type before soldering or fixing into place. When replacing an existing component, match capacitance and voltage ratings and inspect surrounding components for signs of stress or failure.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required capacitance (35 µF) and voltage rating (450 V) match your circuit needs
• Verify polarity requirements; this is a polarized electrolytic capacitor
• Check physical dimensions and terminal configuration to ensure compatibility with the PCB or mounting arrangement
• Assess required electrical characteristics such as ESR and ripple current from technical datasheets if these parameters are critical

Usage recommendations

Use the capacitor within its voltage and temperature ratings, mount it with correct polarity, and replace with the same capacitance and equal or higher voltage rating when performing repairs. For applications with high ripple currents or critical reliability requirements, consult the detailed datasheet to confirm ESR and lifetime characteristics before selection.
