Electrolytic Capacitor 400V 100µF — Pack of 10

The Electrolytic Capacitor 400V 100µF (Pack of 10) is a polarized aluminum electrolytic capacitor rated for 400V maximum and 100µF capacitance. High-voltage capacitors like this are used in power supply circuits, amplifiers, and motor drivers where voltage rails exceed typical logic levels.

Voltage rule: Always use a capacitor rated for at least 1.5× to 2× your actual circuit voltage. This 400V cap is safe for circuits up to ~260V for reliable, long-term operation.

Common uses for 100µF capacitors

  • Power supply filtering: Smooth rectified DC and reduce ripple
  • Decoupling: Provide local energy reserves near ICs and voltage regulators
  • Audio coupling: Block DC while passing audio signals between amplifier stages
