What You Can Build With This
- Smoothing capacitor for 5V or 3.3V power supply rails
- Decoupling capacitor to reduce noise on breadboard circuits
- Timer circuit using NE555 for LED flasher or tone generator
- Filter capacitor in low-pass filter for audio signals
Compatibility
This 6.3V capacitor is suitable for low-voltage circuits using microcontrollers like Arduino Uno, Raspberry Pi Pico, and ESP32. It pairs well with voltage regulators like LM7805 or AMS1117-3.3 for output filtering. Ensure the circuit voltage never exceeds 6.3V to avoid damage.
Wiring Notes
The capacitor is polarized: the longer lead is positive (+), usually marked with a stripe on the body. Solder with correct orientation—reverse voltage can cause venting or explosion. Use a current-limiting resistor if charging a large capacitor bank.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, this capacitor works with any Arduino board for power supply smoothing. Connect it between 5V and GND to reduce voltage ripple.
Can I use this for a high-current LED driver?
This capacitor is rated for 6.3V, so ensure your circuit voltage does not exceed that. For higher voltages, choose a capacitor with appropriate voltage rating.
What is the shelf life?
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have a finite shelf life due to electrolyte drying. We recommend using within 2 years of purchase for best performance.
