A 10-pack of 100µF 16V electrolytic capacitors with long, flexible leads that make them easy to use on breadboards and perfboard. Each capacitor has clear labelling on the body for quick identification.
Electrolytic capacitors are well suited for low-frequency filtering (~1kHz or less) and power supply smoothing. For higher-frequency decoupling, pair them with a ceramic capacitor.
Key Features
- 100µF, 16V – Suitable for any DC voltage up to 16V
- ±20% Tolerance – Standard electrolytic tolerance
- Long Flexible Leads – Easy to insert into breadboards and perfboard
- Clear Labelling – Value and polarity clearly marked on body
- 10-Pack – Stock up for multiple projects
Specifications
- Capacitance – 100µF
- Voltage Rating – 16V DC
- Tolerance – ±20%
- Type – Electrolytic, polarised
- Package – Radial, through-hole
Ideal For
- Power supply filtering and smoothing
- Low-frequency filtering (~1kHz or less)
- Decoupling (paired with ceramic capacitors)
- Breadboard and perfboard prototyping
Package Contents
- 10× 100µF 16V electrolytic capacitors
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- capacitance
- Capacitance is the amount of electrical charge a capacitor can store, usually measured in farads such as uF. Choosing the right capacitance value matters because it affects how well a circuit filters power, handles timing, or stores short bursts of energy.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- through-hole
- A mounting style where the component leads pass through holes in a circuit board and are soldered on the other side. Through-hole parts are often easier to handle and solder by hand, which is useful for classroom and hobby projects.
- Tolerance
- Tolerance tells you how far the real resistance value may be from the printed value. A 1% resistor is useful when a circuit needs more predictable behaviour than a looser 5% or 10% part.
