In a circuit, do you think I can replace a 4.7uF aluminium electrolytic capacitor with other types of capacitor (e.g. non-polarity, multilayer ceramic, polyester, etc)? Pls advise.
Thanks

Can I say that aluminium electrolytic (AE) cap can only be applied to 'dc' applications (e.g. as output filter capacitor of a dc-dc converter)?IanP said:4.7µF is just 4.7µF ..
Aluminium electrolytic cap can be replaced with almost everything .. I wouldn't say that the other way around ..
So, if the voltage is right - go ahead ..

Your question is incomplete. What is the parameter which is the most important for your application: ESR, size, cost, DC bias characteristics and voltage rate, noise suppresion ?
