1000µF 25V Electrolytic Capacitor – Radial Lead, Compact
1000µF 25V Electrolytic Capacitor – Radial Lead, Compact
The 1000µF 25V electrolytic capacitor is a polarized component designed for power supply filtering, decoupling applications, and temporary energy storage. Its high capacitance and voltage rating make it suitable for DC circuits requiring stable voltage and ripple reduction. This radial lead capacitor is compact and easy to solder onto PCBs or perfboards.

What You Can Build With This
- Power supply filter circuit to smooth rectified DC output
- Snubber network across DC motors to reduce voltage spikes
- Decoupling capacitor in audio amplifier circuits to stabilize power rails
- Timing element in simple RC oscillator or LED flasher
Compatibility
Compatible with any DC circuit up to 25V, including Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi for bulk filtering on 5V or 3.3V lines. Pairs well with voltage regulators like LM7805 and LM317.
Wiring Notes
Observe polarity: the longer lead is positive (+). When connecting directly to a power supply, add a 10Ω current-limiting resistor in series if used as a bulk capacitor to avoid high inrush current. Do not exceed 25V.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, it works well for filtering the 5V power supply on Arduino boards. Connect across VIN and GND with correct polarity.
How do I test if the capacitor is working?
Use a multimeter with capacitance mode to measure the value. Alternatively, check for shorts and ensure it charges and discharges in a simple circuit.
Can I use this with a voltage higher than 25V?
No. Exceeding 25V can cause the capacitor to fail violently. Always use a capacitor rated above your circuit's maximum voltage.
