Electrolytic Capacitor 180 µF, No name, model Czę000350

Electrolytic capacitor 180 µF is a general-purpose polarized aluminum electrolytic component designed for energy storage, smoothing, and decoupling in electronic circuits. The component provides a nominal capacitance of 180 µF and is intended for use on printed circuit boards where a compact electrolytic capacitor with that capacitance is required. Typical applications include switch-mode power supplies, linear regulators, audio equipment coupling and filtering, and general-purpose power-supply filtering.

Advantages

This 180 µF electrolytic capacitor offers stable capacitance for power filtering and transient suppression in electronics. Its polarized design enables higher capacitance in a compact package compared with non-polarized capacitors, making it suitable where space and capacitance density matter. The capacitor is suitable for common PCB assembly processes and provides reliable performance for decoupling and smoothing tasks in power rails and signal paths.

Suitable for

• Power supply smoothing and bulk energy storage
• Decoupling and transient suppression on PCBs
• Audio equipment coupling and power filtering
• General-purpose electronic repair and prototyping

Key specifications

• Nominal capacitance: 180 µF
• Type: polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor
• Intended use: energy storage, filtering, decoupling
• Mounting: PCB through-hole or surface-mount as specified on component body
• Typical applications: power supplies, audio circuits, general electronics

How to use

Observe correct polarity when installing the electrolytic capacitor: connect the positive lead to the circuit's positive node and the negative lead to ground or negative rail. Ensure the capacitor's rated voltage (as marked on the component body) exceeds the maximum circuit voltage. For soldering, follow recommended temperature and time limits to avoid heat damage to the can and dielectric. When replacing an existing capacitor, match capacitance and choose an equal or higher voltage rating; verify physical fit on the PCB footprint.

Usage recommendations

Avoid exposing the capacitor to voltages above its rated value and to prolonged high temperatures. Store and operate the component within manufacturer-specified temperature and humidity ranges where possible. For long-term reliability in power supplies, consider using capacitors with appropriate low-ESR characteristics if the application requires high ripple current handling.
