NTE Electronics TD.33M50 Series TD Solid Tantalum Capacitor, Radial Lead.33 µF Capacitance, 20% Tolerance, 50V

hi this blog is going to be all about capacitors the what why how and where of using capacitors I've got ten minutes let's start now okay the first type of capacitor is the electrolytic capacitor you've seen them before these things in the metal cans they've basically got an aluminium foil in them filled with a liquid electrolyte and these things are absolutely horrible they are all full capacities in in almost every respect try and avoid using them if you can but the problem is the advantage of them is that they come in massive capacitance values for their size so really yeah you really can't avoid using them for things like power supply filtering and large bypassing and things like that and in power storage and some AC coupling applications for very low frequencies it's hard to avoid these things so unfortunately there are necessary evil you've almost certainly noticed this little ven
