Parts Express 15uF 100V Non-Polarized Electrolytic Crossover Capacitor
A 15 microfarad non-polarized electrolytic capacitor rated at 100 VDC with a 5% dissipation factor for crossover designs
- TypeCapacitors
- Reliable crossover performance from 15 microfarad capacitance
- Compact 13 mm diameter fits tight layouts
- Low 5% dissipation factor reduces signal loss
- 100 VDC rating handles up to 200 watts
- ±10% tolerance ensures consistent circuit values
Ideal crossover component
This 15 microfarad non-polarised electrolytic capacitor is built for speaker crossover networks. The axial lead style suits through-hole PCB layouts and hand-wired prototypes alike. A ±10 % tolerance keeps filter points predictable for hobbyists and small-batch builders.
Cool and efficient
The 5 % dissipation factor at the rated 100 VDC working voltage means minimal self-heating during normal audio signal levels. Low losses translate into clean transient response without audible colouration. The component is effective in designs handling approximately 200 watts.
Compact axial package
At 13 mm diameter by 27 mm long the body fits tight board spacing and shallow enclosures. Axial leads allow straight-line routing or vertical mounting to free up surface area. No polarity marking simplifies layout for bi-polar operation.

Questions about this item
How do I install the axial leads on a 13 mm diameter by 27 mm long crossover capacitor?
Bend each axial lead at a right angle to match your board hole spacing, then solder quickly with a temperature-controlled iron so the 5 % dissipation factor does not degrade from excessive heat.
What maintenance or replacement will the 15 microfarad non-polarized electrolytic need later?
Electrolytic chemistry ages; plan to re-measure capacitance and ESR after several years of operation and replace the part if values drift outside the ±10 % tolerance window.
At what point does the 100 VDC working voltage limit appear during sustained high-power use?
The 100 VDC rating corresponds to roughly 200 watts in typical crossover networks; sustained signals that push peak voltage above 100 V will stress the dielectric first.
