Electrolytic Capacitor Schematic Symbol. The second symbol represents an obsolete capacitor symbols used for non polar capacitors. The capacitor symbols are of two types.
You ll notice that it s just two simple lines with space in between. It can be connected in either direction. In this article we show the schematic symbols for capacitors.
The plus and minus signs indicate the positive and negative terminals the anode and cathode.
There are nonpolarized capacitors such as ceramic capacitors. It is a non polar capacitor having fixed capacitance value. Check out the standard capacitor symbol below. Identifying a capacitor on your first schematic is super easy as they only come in two types being standard or polarized.
