VISHAY 125 ALS Axial Electrolytic Capacitor 1000µF 10V

The VISHAY 125 ALS 1000µF 10V Axial Electrolytic Capacitor is a miniature aluminium electrolytic capacitor rated at 1000µF and 10V DC, with a useful life of 5000 hours at 105°C.

Overview

The VISHAY 125 ALS series is an axial leaded, polarised component designed for long operational life in demanding environments. Its non-solid electrolyte sits within a cylindrical aluminium case, insulated by a distinctive blue sleeve. The component is suited to industrial, automotive, electronic data processing (EDP), and telecommunication applications.

Key Features

• Useful life of 5000 hours at 105°C, with potential for up to 10,000 hours
• High ripple current capability of 420mA
• Low equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 0.292 ohm
• Charge and discharge proof construction
• Operating temperature range from -40°C to +105°C
• Climatic category IEC 60068 40/105/56
• Vibration and shock resistant
• Taped versions available for case diameters up to 15 mm x 30 mm

Applications

The high ripple current capability and low ESR make the capacitor suitable for smoothing, filtering, and buffering in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), as well as for coupling, decoupling, and timing circuits. Its miniaturised axial format provides a high capacitance-to-volume (CV) ratio, which suits portable and mobile equipment where small size and low mass are critical. It is also recommended for stand-by applications and on low mounting height printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Dimensions and Weight

The component measures 3.3 (width) x 1.5 (depth) x 4.3 (height) and weighs 0.907 g. Taped versions support automatic insertion on assembly lines for production efficiency.

This capacitor combines long life, reliable continuous operation, and a compact footprint for use in demanding electronic designs.
