Product Description

100µF 25V Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor

Versatile Capacitor for Smoothing, Filtering, and Power Supply Applications

The 100µF 25V aluminum electrolytic capacitor is a widely used generalpurpose component for power supply filtering, decoupling, and audio applications. It is available in throughhole radial, surface-mount (SMD), and axial packages to suit various PCB designs.

Capacitance: 100µF ±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.

Package Includes

Varies by seller:

  1. Bulk packs (throughhole radial) 10 to 500+ pieces
  2. Tape and reel (SMD) - 100 to 2,000+ pieces
  3. Cut tape / loose pieces for prototyping
For generalpurpose filtering, a 105°C, lowESR variant is recommended for reliable long-term 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 highfrequency switching power supplies, select a lowESR capacitor with high ripple current rating [citation:3][citation:12]
Typical DC bias capacitance loss in MLCC capacitors does not apply to aluminum electrolytic types - they maintain rated capacitance up to rated voltage
This capacitor is ideal for linear power supply output filtering and battery-powered circuit decoupling

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 accelerate aging reduces lifetime
