Features:
- Compact form factor — mini radial design fits tight PCB layouts without compromising capacity.
- Adequate voltage headroom — 16 V rating gives safety margin for 12 V or similar circuits.
- Standard tolerance ±20 % — predictable performance across typical variation.
- Reasonable ripple current for signal / decoupling — suitable for low to moderate ripple duties.
- Pack of 5 — convenient multiple units for prototyping or small-scale builds.
- Reliable brand references — part numbers like Sprague 515D are well documented.
- Low leakage when used within specs — maintaining circuit integrity over time.
Applications:
- Signal coupling / decoupling in audio circuits
- Bypass / smoothing in low voltage regulators
- Microcontroller / digital circuits decoupling
- Compact power supplies / modules
- Portable / wearable electronics
- Any design needing a small, reliable electrolytic cap
Usage Tips & Safeguards:
- Confirm polarity before soldering — reverse bias will damage the capacitor.
- Allow adequate spacing and airflow if operating near ripple limits.
- Use short lead lengths to reduce inductance in high-frequency decoupling.
- Avoid overvoltage — keep margin between supply voltage and 16 V rating.
- For long life, avoid continuous operation at absolute max temp (85 °C).
- If storing, keep in dry conditions to prevent electrolyte degradation.
