An electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor with a much larger capacity then a normal capacitor. A normal capacitor has a capacity of a few nano Farad, but an electrolytic capacitor can have a capacity up to 100 microFarad. Unlike a normal capacitor a electrolytic capacitor has a plus and a minus side, if you connect it in the opposite direction it can get defective. On a electrolytic capacitor the plus side is indicated with a dent. If the capacitor has two pins on the same site the minus site is the site with big minus symbols on it.

When on any pin-up type ceramic capacitor only one colour is given then it is considered as three strips of same colour. Now with the colour code system the value of that capacitor is calculated.

The vibration-resistant type, wherein the level of adhesion between the capacitor as a whole and the printed wiring board, has eliminated the resonance seen in the standard capacitor. Also, this vibration-resistant standard has adequately reduced the relative movement of the capacitor.
