Versatile Filtering and Smoothing Capacitor for Power Applications

The 330µF 25V aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a widely used generalpurpose component for power supply filtering, decoupling, and audio applications. It is available in throughhole radial and surface-mount (SMD) packages to suit various PCB designs.

Capacitance: 330µF ±20% tolerance

Voltage Rating: 25V DC

Common applications: Power supply smoothing, DC-DC converter filtering, audio coupling and bypass

Observe correct polarity - aluminum electrolytic capacitors are polarized devices. Reversing voltage can cause permanent damage or explosion.

Do not exceed the rated voltage of 25V DC to prevent capacitor failure.

For switching power supplies, a lowESR, highripplecurrent variant (e.g., Rubycon ZLH series with 8000 hour lifetime[citation:11] or Nichicon UPM series[citation:8]) is recommended for reliable longterm operation

Choose a capacitor with a voltage rating higher than your circuit's maximum voltage (e.g., 25V for a 12V rail) for reliable operation

For general-purpose filtering, a standard series with 105°C rating provides a good balance of cost and performance

This capacitor is ideal for linear power supply output filtering and battery-powered circuit decoupling

Some lowcost variants may have shorter lifetimes (e.g., 1000 hours) check datasheets for critical applications[citation:12]

Avoid exceeding the rated voltage of 25V this is critical for safety and reliability

Avoid overheating during soldering typical soldering time is ≤5 seconds at ≤260°C

Avoid storing at high temperatures accelerated aging reduces lifetime
