General Capacitor Nameplate Rating (Electrolytic Capacitor)

Following are the General requirements  for an Electrolytic Capacitor Nameplates.

• Manufacture’s Name
• Capacitor Series
• Maximum temperature
• Maximum Voltage
• Polarity
• Capacitor’s Value
• (Capacitance in Farads,  µF, pF, or nF)

Here is the typical nameplate rating on the electrolytic Capacitor (External Container Box) as shown in below image.

• Manufacture’s Name :       Rubycon
• Capacitor Series:              CE
• Maximum temperature      105 Degree C
• Maximum Voltage             400V
• Polarity                              You can see Negative sign (lift side)
• Capacitor’s Value              150 µF
• (Capacitance in Farads,    µF, pF, or nF)
