Ceramic capacitor 2nF (224) / 50 V
📝 Overview
A ceramic capacitor rated at 50 volts is a non-polarized passive component used to store and release electrical energy, filter signals, and smooth voltage in electronic circuits. These capacitors are compact, stable, and widely used in both analog and digital applications.
They are commonly found in Arduino circuits, power supply filters, timing circuits, and noise suppression setups.
