Rubycon ZL Series Electrolytic Capacitor, Miniature, 470µF 16V, Radial Leaded

The Rubycon ZL Series represents a range of miniaturised, radial leaded aluminium electrolytic capacitors designed for high-reliability applications. These components are engineered to offer a compact footprint without sacrificing performance, making them ideal for space-constrained modern electronics.

This specific model features a capacitance of 470µF and a rated DC voltage of 16V. It boasts a robust endurance rating of 3000 hours at 105°C, ensuring long-term stability and reliability in demanding operating conditions. The capacitor operates effectively across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +105°C.

A key performance characteristic is its high ripple current handling (995mA) combined with low impedance, which is essential for smoothing and filtering in power supply circuits. This ensures clean, stable power delivery to sensitive components. The radial leaded design with a standard 3.5mm lead spacing facilitates easy and secure PCB mounting.

Constructed with a polar design, correct installation orientation is crucial for optimal function and safety. The ZL series capacitors are a trusted choice for engineers seeking a balance of miniaturisation, electrical performance, and proven endurance in challenging environments.
