Ah, what a lovely question. Well, the 200WV on a capacitor means it can handle up to 200 volts, while the 470uF tells us its capacitance, which is 470 microfarads. Isn't it wonderful how these little components have their own language to tell us how they can help in our creative endeavors? Just like a happy little tree in a capacitor forest.

200WV is the working voltage of the capacitor. This is the value that should not be exceeded between the two terminals.

470uF is the capacitive rating of the capacitor. It means 470 micro Farads, or 0.47 Farads.

Can you replace a 470uf 10v capacitor with a 470 25v 105c high temp radial leads capacitor for a digital tv converter box?

Yes, as long as there is room to mount the larger capacitor. A better replacement might be a 470uF 16v capacitor, which should be smaller than the 25v cap. If necessary, insulating tubing can be put on the leads & the cap can be mounted off the board, or at an angle to the board. Remember to observe polarity when connecting the capacitor leads to the board. Note the orientation & markings on the old capacitor before unsoldering it.

Can you replace a 25v 500uf capacitor with 25v 470uf capacitor?

It will depend on the application. If you are trying to rapair some thing which as per design needs 470uF capacitor but you only have 100uF capacitors available., you can put 5 of these in parallel if possible (if SMD you can put one on top of another and solder). That will give you a total of 500uF close to the original value. - Neeraj Sharma


What does the volt on a capacitor mean?

the voltage number on the capacitor indicates that the capacitor can with stand to that particular voltage across it.generally during design, the value of capacitor will be selected in such a way that this voltage rating should be double than what really we get in the circuit

What does the continuity of capacitor voltage mean?

It might mean that the voltage across a capacitor cannot change instantanteously because that would demand an infinite current. The current in a capacitor is C.dV/dt so with a finite current dV/dt must be finite and therefore the voltage cannot have a discontinuity.


What does the red dot on the top of a 120V capacitor mean?

The red dot on the top of a 120V capacitor typically indicates the positive terminal. It is important to ensure that the capacitor is connected with the correct polarity to prevent damage to the capacitor or the circuit.
