Description
Description:
The Aluminum 10uF 50V Electrolytic Capacitor is a polarized component, characterized by its asymmetrical construction. It necessitates operation with a higher voltage (i.e., more positive) on the anode than on the cathode at all times. To indicate this polarity requirement, the anode terminal is designated with a plus sign, while the cathode is marked with a minus sign.
It’s crucial to avoid applying a reverse polarity voltage or exceeding the maximum rated working voltage, even by as little as 1 or 1.5 volts. Such actions can lead to the destruction of the dielectric and, consequently, the capacitor itself. The failure of electrolytic capacitors poses hazards, including the risk of explosion or fire.
For versatility, bipolar electrolytic capacitors are also manufactured. These capacitors can be operated with either polarity and employ special constructions with two anodes connected in series.
