Usage:

1. Determine the required capacitance and voltage rating for your circuit.
2. Place the capacitor in the correct position on the PCB.
3. Solder the capacitor in place, ensuring good contact and avoiding excess heat.
4. Verify the capacitor’s connections and ensure no short circuits.

Caution:

• Verify the voltage rating and capacitance before use.
• Handle carefully to avoid physical damage to the capacitor.
• Ensure the capacitor is not exposed to excessive heat during soldering.
• Store in a dry, cool place to maintain the integrity of the capacitor.
