Electrolytic Instead Of Ceramic

If you can get ceramic caps even several parts in parallel do that instead of electrolytics.

Electrolytic instead of ceramic.

Electrolytic and ceramic caps have different characteristics and one may or may not work well in place of the other. You know when you re using electrolytics they re polarized and the values are larger. It also has more leakage than a ceramic and poorer performance at high frequencies. When using ceramics in power rail applications their capacitance vs.

It would be better to use ceramic and also for the 10uf and 1uf cap as well. 0 47µf is large for a ceramic and is a non polarized high quality cap. Another problem would be that a 220nf electrolytic will be very hard to find because very few manufacturers make electrolytics below 1uf. Make sure you use one with a high enough voltage rating.

There are various types of ceramic caps. The ones shown the photo appear to be the mlcc type. Without seeing the circuit it s not really feasable to advise you what you could replace the ceramic capcitor with although you seemed to have proven that the electrolytic you have is not the answer and at very least the incorrect value. Capacitors are measured in farads or microfarads not in ohms.

Voltage characteristics must be taken into account. And i was wondering if i could use 1uf electrolytic capacitors instead of the 1uf tantalum capacitors and the 1uf ceramic capacitors on this circuit since i couldn t find any tantalum or ceramic anywhere in my country. Mlcc caps are made in a surface mount package most commonly though they can be found in leaded packages as shown in the photo. Mylar is a bit more subtle but nowadays you can use ceramic for most of those purposes.

The polarization may mean it cannot be used in this application.
