noun
electrolytic capacitor
Technical term in electronics; a type of capacitor that uses an electrolyte to achieve a larger capacitance per unit volume.
電解コンデンサーは極性があるので、逆接続に注意が必要です。
Electrolytic capacitors are polarized, so be careful not to connect them in reverse.
General term for capacitor; 電解コンデンサー specifies the electrolytic type.
Ceramic capacitor, another common type, typically non-polarized and used for high-frequency applications.
Compound of 電解 (electrolysis) and コンデンサー (capacitor), a direct calque of English 'electrolytic capacitor'.
