Layout symbol

Polarized capacitor for larger values (typically 1 µF and up), used to smooth power supplies and store energy. The negative leg is marked with a stripe and is the shorter one; connected backwards it can fail or even burst. Choose one with a voltage rating above the voltage it sees in the circuit.
