Why Polarity Matters for Your Projects

When the polarity of an electrolytic capacitor is reversed, the dielectric breaks down, leading to:

30‑45% higher warranty claims due to premature failure.
Production line shutdowns that can cost $15,000 per hour.
Regulatory non‑compliance (UL, IEC) that delays market entry.

According to a 2025 IEC survey, 38% of manufacturers cite capacitor polarity errors as the top cause of field failures.

Frequently Asked Questions about Electrolytic Capacitor Polarity

What is the correct way to identify polarity on an electrolytic capacitor?

Polarity is indicated by a “+” stripe on the case, a minus sign on the lead, or laser‑etched symbols. Xinchangda adds a secondary laser‑etched “+1/‑1” on the termination for double verification.

Can you provide custom voltage or capacitance values?

Yes. Our R&D team can design caps from 1 µF to 4700 µF and from 6.3 V to 450 V, with tolerance as tight as ±5%.

What are the minimum order quantities (MOQs) for OEM projects?

Standard electrolytic caps start at 5,000 pcs per SKU; for specialized designs, MOQs can be as low as 1,000 pcs after tooling.

How do you handle international shipping and customs for the USA?

We ship via DHL, UPS, or air freight with full commercial invoices, CE/UL certificates, and HS‑Code 8532. All duties are prepaid on request.
