Non-Polarised Capacitor Symbol

A non-polarised capacitor is one that does not have a polarity, and here is the electronic symbol for a non-polarised capacitor. Ceramic disc capacitors usually do not have a stated polarity, and therefore there is no need to observe their direction. Many types of capacitors, such as the tantalum bead do not have a polarity. As a general rule of thumb, those capacitors that use a plastic polymer based dielectric tend to be non-polarised. Of course, you should take extra care when installing capacitors as many capacitors such as the electrolytic types have a polarity, which you must observe.
