Cap identification |
|
|
Someone gave me a bunch of capacitors.
One of them has the following.
SPAGUE
(2) 8 D
100 UF
0-160VDC
Then it has
+> +> +> +>
pointing to one of the wires coming out of the Capacitor.
The capacitor physically is a big cap, about 1 1/2 inches long and the wires
are at oposite ends like a resistor, instead of the normal out of the
bottom for an electrolytic cap. eg --(00000)-- (do they call this a radial
??)
Here are my questions?
I asume that this is a 100 uF Cap. No rocket science there. But I guess I
have not seen the notation of 0-160VDC. I asume that this is just a
different way of saying what I normaly see which is 16v or 25v or 100v.
And I asume that this IS an electrolytic CAP even though normally what Im
use to seeing is the >>>> pointing to the Negative side of the wire and both
the wires coming out of the bottom of the Cap.
Regards

No. Axial, because leads are on axis of cylinder. The radial form
does not actually have the leads along radius, but exit through a
radial (or diameter) line.

Me too.

Right. Any DC up to 160 volts is okay.

Right. Just another form of electrolytic.
