Usage:

1. Select the capacitor based on the required capacitance and voltage rating for your application.
2. Choose the appropriate package type (through-hole or surface-mount) based on your circuit design.
3. Place the capacitor in the correct position on the PCB or circuit board.
4. Solder the capacitor’s leads or pads to the PCB, ensuring proper placement and connection.
5. Verify circuit performance to ensure the capacitor is functioning as intended.

Caution:

• Ensure the voltage rating of the capacitor is higher than the maximum voltage in your circuit to avoid breakdown.
• Check the temperature coefficient and tolerance to match circuit requirements.
• Handle with care to avoid mechanical damage..
