Electrolytic Capacitor Assortment Kit — 120PCS, 12 Values (1µF–470µF)

The 120PCS Electrolytic Capacitor Kit contains 12 common values from 1µF to 470µF, giving you a ready supply of capacitors for power filtering, decoupling, timing circuits, and audio applications. Each value includes 10 pieces, so you'll always have spares on hand.

What capacitors do: Capacitors store and release electrical energy. In practice, they smooth power supply ripple, filter noise, set timing in RC circuits, couple/decouple audio signals, and stabilize voltage regulators.

Included values

1µF, 2.2µF, 3.3µF, 4.7µF, 10µF, 22µF, 33µF, 47µF, 100µF, 150µF, 220µF, 470µF — 10 pieces each, 120 total.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to worry about polarity? Yes. Electrolytic capacitors are polarized — the longer lead is positive. Reversing polarity can damage the capacitor or cause it to fail.
What voltage rating are these? Voltage ratings vary by value. Always check the markings on each capacitor and ensure the rated voltage exceeds your circuit voltage.
