Capacitor 470uF 63V
A 470 µF, 63 V electrolytic capacitor is a compact, cylindrically shaped component designed for energy storage in electronic circuits. Made using high-purity aluminum foil and a fluid electrolyte, it forms a polarized device, meaning one lead is positive and the other is negative. This polarization allows for a very thin dielectric layer, giving a high capacitance in a relatively small volume.
When placed in a circuit, this capacitor can accumulate and hold a substantial electric charge at up to 63 volts DC. It acts as a buffer during fluctuations, smoothing out voltage peaks and drops. The stored energy can be released when needed, helping stabilize power supplies, decoupling noise, and supporting transient loads. Its internal design typically includes a paper spacer soaked in electrolyte, wound together with aluminum foils, all encapsulated in an aluminum can with a pressure-relief vent for safety.
Due to its relatively high capacitance and moderate voltage rating, the 470 µF, 63 V capacitor is versatile and widely used in electronic systems. It can handle ripple currents, absorb surges, and work under sustained stresses commonly found in power regulation circuits. In addition, its performance remains stable over a broad temperature range, making it reliable for long-term use in both consumer and industrial electronics.
