VISHAY Electrolytic Capacitor, Axial, 1000µF 10V, 5000h @ 105°C

The VISHAY 125 ALS series is an axial leaded, miniature aluminium electrolytic capacitor designed for a long operational life in demanding environments. With a capacitance of 1000µF and a 10V DC rating, it is built for reliability and high performance. Its polarised design utilises a non-solid electrolyte within a cylindrical aluminium case, insulated by a distinctive blue sleeve. This construction makes it particularly well-suited for industrial, automotive, electronic data processing (EDP), and telecommunication applications.

A key feature of this capacitor is its extended useful life of 5000 hours at 105°C, with potential for up to 10,000 hours, ensuring high reliability in continuous operation. It offers a high ripple current capability of 420mA and a low equivalent series resistance (ESR) of 0.292 ohm, making it highly effective for smoothing, filtering, and buffering in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), as well as for coupling, decoupling, and timing circuits.

Compact and Versatile Design

The miniaturised, axial format provides a high capacitance-to-volume (CV) ratio, which is ideal for 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). The component is charge and discharge proof, enhancing its durability in real-world use.

Robust Performance Specifications

Designed to withstand harsh conditions, it operates across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +105°C and meets the climatic category IEC 60068 40/105/56. It is also vibration and shock resistant, ensuring stable performance. For production efficiency, taped versions are available for case diameters up to 15mm x 30mm, facilitating automatic insertion on assembly lines.

This capacitor combines long life, high reliability, and a compact footprint, making it a dependable and
