Locktronics Electrolytic Capacitor, 4.7µF, 25V [2813]

The Locktronics 4.7µF Electrolytic Capacitor (25V) is a compact, education‑grade component designed for use with the Locktronics modular electronics system. It provides an excellent introduction to low‑value capacitance, enabling students to explore timing, signal shaping, and energy storage in a clear and controlled classroom environment.

Securely mounted in a durable Locktronics carrier, this capacitor integrates seamlessly into structured circuit layouts, ensuring safe handling and reliable electrical connections. With a capacitance of 4.7 microfarads and a 25‑volt rating, it is ideally suited to low‑voltage experiments commonly carried out in school laboratories, particularly those focusing on RC circuits and signal behaviour.

Designed for repeated classroom use, the reusable construction helps maintain tidy, easy‑to‑follow circuits, allowing students to concentrate on understanding electronic principles rather than complex wiring.
