Capacitors

Capacitors are passive devices that are used in almost all electrical circuits for rectification, coupling and tuning. Also known as condensers, a capacitor is simply two electrical conductors separated by an insulating layer called a dielectric. The conductors are usually thin layers of aluminum foil, while the dielectric can be made up of many materials including paper, mylar, polypropylene, ceramic, mica, and even air. Electrolytic capacitors have a dielectric of aluminum oxide which is formed through the application of voltage after the capacitor is assembled. Characteristics of different capacitors are determined by not only the material used for the conductors and dielectric, but also by the thickness and physical spacing of the components.
C-EBP22-50-IL Capacitor - Illinois, 50V, 22µF, Non / Bi-Polar Axial Lead Electrolytic
High quality bipolar / non-polarized (NP) electrolytic capacitor from Illinois Capacitor. Rated for 50V and -40°C to +85°C operation, these capacitors have a ±20% tolerance and axial leads. Bipolar capacitors are popular for audio coupling and crossovers. The 22µF value is great for cathode bypass capacitors on preamp tubes as well as Mk1 Tonebender builds using P-PC-BEND-MKI or other boards.
