VISHAY 100µF 50V Radial Electrolytic Capacitor 136 RVI Series

The VISHAY 100µF 50V Radial Electrolytic Capacitor from the 136 RVI Series is a high-performance, radial leaded, polarised aluminium electrolytic capacitor featuring a non-solid electrolyte. It is designed to deliver excellent ripple current capability, making it ideal for demanding power management, industrial, audio, and communications applications.

Aluminium electrolytic capacitors are the preferred choice when high capacitance values and power ratings are required. This component provides high capacitance per unit cost, is compact compared to alternative technologies, and remains relatively insensitive to voltage spikes, ensuring reliable operation in critical circuits.

Construction and Features

The capacitor utilises an electrochemically etched aluminium anode foil as the first plate, with an oxide layer acting as the dielectric. A paper spacer impregnated with fluid electrolyte forms the second plate, while a second foil provides the other contact. The device is housed in a cylindrical case with pressure relief for safety, and is insulated with a blue sleeve for protection and identification.
