Multicomp Pro Electrolytic Capacitor, 0.47µF, 50V, Polar

The Multicomp Pro MCGPR Series is a reliable, general-purpose electrolytic capacitor, designed for a wide range of electronic circuit applications. It features a standard through-hole mounting style, facilitating secure soldering onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) for robust electrical and mechanical connections.

With a capacitance value of 0.47 microfarads (µF) and a DC voltage rating of 50V, this polarised component is suitable for power supply filtering, coupling, decoupling, and timing circuits. Its specified operational temperature range from -40°C to +85°C ensures dependable performance in varied environmental conditions, making it a versatile choice for industrial, consumer, and hobbyist electronics projects.

The capacitor is constructed with a 2mm lead spacing, which is a common footprint for compatibility with standard PCB layouts. The polarised design requires correct orientation during installation, with the positive lead typically marked on the component body to prevent reverse voltage damage. This component is supplied without any specific qualification or stated lifetime at temperature, positioning it as a cost-effective solution for non-critical or general-purpose designs where extreme longevity under high stress is not the primary concern.
