= 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:

Bulk packs (throughhole radial) 10 to 500+ pieces
Tape and reel (SMD) - 100 to 2,000+ pieces
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

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
