Customer ServiceTouching the terminals of a capacitor is dangerous because capacitors retain the charge until it is discharged. This retained charge could potentially cause an electric shock or even electrocution. A capacitor can be made safe to handle by safely discharging the stored energy, preferably by using a resistor or a bleeder.

Customer ServiceTouching the terminals of a charged capacitor can be extremely dangerous, therefore avoid doing so at all costs. It also depends on the capacitor''s voltage. A low-voltage circuit is safe, while a capacitor with a high voltage is harmful.
Customer ServiceA capacitor is a device used to store electric charge. Capacitors have applications ranging from filtering static out of radio reception to energy storage in heart defibrillators. Typically, commercial capacitors have two conducting parts close to one another, but not touching, such as those in Figure (PageIndex{1}). (Most of the time an

Customer ServiceThe former, in which the sensing capacitor is composed of two terminals that function as emitting and receiving electrodes, is preferred for touch-sensitive displays. The latter, in which one terminal of the sensing capacitor is connected to ground, is a straightforward approach that is suitable for a touch-sensitive button, slider, or wheel
Customer ServiceIn general: you should not touch ANY electrical component unless you KNOW it is safe to do so. Experienced engineers would only touch a capacitor when they know it is discharged and/or are 100% sure it is charged with a low voltage and the circuit isn''t live. Be safe and when in doubt: don''t touch.
Customer ServiceEvery tutorial on how to safely handle a capacitor tells you to absolutely avoid touching the capacitors leads, and to grab a capacitor by its insulated sides until you can confirm that the capacitor is properly discharged.
Customer ServiceIf the question is "can a capacitor discharge in to me if I only touch one lead" then the answer is the same. It depends on the circumstances, voltages and capacitances involved.
Customer ServiceHold the capacitor by its base without touching the terminals. Use an insulated screwdriver to touch both terminals simultaneously, causing the capacitor to discharge. Check the voltage again; repeat if necessary until the
Customer ServiceThey always have two terminals, which go on to connect to the rest of the circuit. The capacitors symbol consists of two parallel lines, which are either flat or curved; both lines should be parallel to each other, close, but not touching (this is actually representative of how the capacitor is made. Hard to describe, easier to just show:

Customer ServiceBut always double-check to ensure the power is off before touching any components. Remember, capacitors can store electrical charge even after the power is turned off, so it''s crucial to discharge them properly to avoid any potential shocks or damage to yourself or the circuit.

Customer ServiceCapacitors have applications ranging from filtering static from radio reception to energy storage in heart defibrillators. Typically, commercial capacitors have two conducting parts close to one another but not touching, such as those in Figure 4.1.1. Most of the time, a dielectric is used between the two plates.
Customer ServiceCapacitors are simple passive device that can store an electrical charge on their plates when connected to a voltage source. The capacitor is a component which has the ability or "capacity" to store energy in the form of an electrical charge producing a potential difference (Static Voltage) across its plates, much like a small rechargeable
Customer ServiceAccidentally touching the leads of a charged capacitor can result in anything from a mild shock to severe electric shock, burns, or even fires in high-capacitance scenarios. Therefore, understanding how to safely discharge a capacitor is an essential skill for anyone involved in electronic device maintenance and repair. So let''s see how to do it!

I couldn't find this information anywhere. Every tutorial on how to safely handle a capacitor tells you to absolutely avoid touching the capacitors leads, and to grab a capacitor by its insulated sides until you can confirm that the capacitor is properly discharged.
Grip the capacitor low on the base with one hand. You need to maintain total control over the capacitor while you discharge it, so pick it up low on the cylindrical body with your non-dominant hand. When you pick it up, make a “C” with your hand and fingers to grip it, keeping all of your fingers away from the top where the posts are.
It’s highly recommended to start the discharge process by using a resistor to bridge the capacitor terminals. This helps to safely release the stored energy gradually before a direct connection, reducing the risk of large sparks and excess heat. Pay close attention to the capacitor during the discharge process.
However, nobody ever mentions if the bare metal top of electrolytics capacitors is safe to touch or not. I'm referring to the pressure vents, indicated by the red arrow in the image: I read a bit about the internal structure of a capacitor, and if I'm not mistaken the vents should be connected with its cathode (as all the capacitor case should be).
