The main characteristics of electrolytic capacitors are: large capacitance, low voltage, low frequency, large tolerance value, large leakage current, high loss, etc. Therefore, they are widely used in fields such as power filtering, coupling and winding, timing circuits, and power voltage regulators. Due to the presence of electrolyte in electrolytic capacitors, their performance stability and lifespan are subject to certain limitations. When the electrolytic capacitor ages or malfunctions, it needs to be replaced in a timely manner. When replacing electrolytic capacitors, the following principles need to be followed:
1.电容值替换原则：将老化或故障的电解电容替换为相同的电容值的电解电容。
Principle of capacitance value replacement: Replace aged or faulty electrolytic capacitors with electrolytic capacitors with the same capacitance value.
2.电压替换原则：电解电容的工作电压是其最关键的参数之一，替换时要确保所选电解电容的工作电压不小于原电解电容的电压。
Principle of voltage replacement: The working voltage of an electrolytic capacitor is one of its most critical parameters. When replacing, it is necessary to ensure that the working voltage of the selected electrolytic capacitor is not less than the voltage of the original electrolytic capacitor.
3.极性替换原则：电解电容有正负两个极性，替换时应确保所选电解电容的极性与原电解电容相同。
Polarity replacement principle: Electrolytic capacitors have two polarities, positive and negative. When replacing, it should be ensured that the polarity of the selected electrolytic capacitor is the same as the original electrolytic capacitor.
4.品质替换原则：选用品质好的电解电容，可以保证元件长期稳定运行。
Quality replacement principle: Choosing high-quality electrolytic capacitors can ensure long-term stable operation of the components.
5.实际电路的应用情况：要看实际电路应用情况，不应只看表面属性参数，否则很容易引起电路的各种不稳定因素。
Actual circuit application situation: It should be based on the actual circuit application situation, not only on surface attribute parameters, otherwise it is easy to cause various unstable factors in the circuit.
