Standard electrolytics die the moment you get polarity wrong on an AC leg. This 6.8µF bipolar unit handles either direction without a second thought. Two anodes in series, 50V rating, 40mA ripple headroom. You pick the value, solder it in, and the circuit runs whether the current's going one way or the other. Sorted
