Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about 50UVX6800 and general purpose radial capacitors
What applications use a 6800µF 50V DC general purpose radial capacitor?
This 6800µF 50V DC general purpose radial capacitor serves filtering, timing, and energy storage functions in circuits operating within its voltage and temperature ratings.
Can the 50UVX6800 handle high-temperature environments?
The 50UVX6800 is rated for 85°C, which covers standard commercial and light-industrial environments. For installations in enclosed cabinets or hot climates where ambient temperatures exceed 65°C, consider selecting a 105°C-rated alternative for additional thermal margin.
What is the recommended PCB footprint for the 50UVX6800?
The 50UVX6800 uses radial mounting. Refer to the manufacturer datasheet for the recommended land pattern. For through-hole parts, ensure the drill diameter is 0.2–0.3mm larger than the lead diameter for reliable hand or wave soldering.
What capacitors can replace the 50UVX6800?
Cross-referencing the 50UVX6800 requires matching capacitance (6800µF), voltage (50V DC), temperature rating (85°C), and physical dimensions. ESR and ripple current ratings must also meet or exceed the original spec for reliable operation. Contact our technical team at 800-731-1433 for verified cross-reference options — we maintain compatibility data across major manufacturers.
Should I derate the voltage when using the 50UVX6800?
Yes. Industry best practice is to operate capacitors at 60–80% of their rated voltage. For the 50UVX6800 rated at 50V DC, this means designing your circuit to keep the applied voltage below 40V under all conditions including transients. Voltage derating significantly extends capacitor life — each 10% reduction in applied voltage can roughly double the expected service life for electrolytic types.
What is the lead time for the 50UVX6800?
In-stock items ship same-day when ordered before 3 PM EST, with standard delivery of 2–5 business days within the continental US. If the 50UVX6800 shows as out of stock, our sourcing team can typically locate general purpose radial capacitors within 1–2 weeks through our manufacturer and distributor network.
