Additional Details
The NRA104M35R8 has a capacitance of 100uF (microfarads) and a voltage rating of 35V (volts). It is important to select a capacitor with a voltage rating that is greater than the maximum voltage that will be applied to it in the circuit. The ESR of the capacitor affects its ability to handle ripple current. A lower ESR results in better performance in high-ripple current applications. The operating temperature range of the capacitor determines the range of temperatures over which it can operate reliably. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors have a limited lifespan and will eventually need to be replaced.
