Product type
Screw terminal capacitors are a type of capacitor designed for secure and reliable electrical connections. They typically feature screw terminals that allow for easy installation and maintenance in various electronic applications. These capacitors are made from materials such as aluminum or tantalum and are used to store electrical energy, filter signals, and stabilize voltage in circuits.
| Capacitance range | 1 µF to 1000 µF |
| Voltage rating | 16V to 450V |
| Temperature range | -40°C to +105°C |
| Termination type | Screw terminal |
| Dielectric type | Aluminum electrolytic or tantalum |
| Size | Various sizes depending on capacitance and voltage |
When choosing screw terminal capacitors, consider the required capacitance and voltage ratings for your application. It's important to specify the temperature range and dielectric type based on the operating environment. Additionally, inquire about the physical size and mounting requirements to ensure compatibility with your design. Certifications and tolerances may also be relevant depending on the application, so be sure to clarify these details when requesting a quote.

The lifespan can vary, but many are rated for 2000 to 5000 hours at maximum rated temperature.
They are generally better suited for low-frequency applications due to their construction.
Common failure modes include leakage, short-circuiting, and capacitance loss.
Yes, most aluminum electrolytic screw terminal capacitors are polarized.
Calculate the needed capacitance based on the circuit's frequency and load requirements.
Aluminum capacitors are generally larger and less expensive, while tantalum capacitors offer higher capacitance in a smaller size.
