Electrolytic Capacitor 100 μF 100 VDC, radial can, model EB1497655526

Electrolytic Capacitor 100 μF 100 VDC, radial can, model EB1497655526 is a radial aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 100 microfarads capacitance at a rated voltage of 100 VDC. The component is intended for use in circuits that require bulk energy storage, smoothing of high-voltage rails, and decoupling in power supply sections. Its radial-can package provides a compact footprint for through-hole mounting while delivering stable capacitance and low-frequency filtering performance.

Advantages

This radial electrolytic capacitor delivers a high voltage rating combined with moderate capacitance, making it suitable for filtering and energy storage in higher-voltage applications. The aluminum can construction offers robust mechanical stability and thermal tolerance typical for general-purpose electrolytic parts. The component provides reliable low-frequency smoothing and decoupling characteristics, contributing to reduced ripple and improved stability of DC rails in power electronics.

Suitable for

• Power supply filtering and smoothing in industrial and consumer electronics
• Decoupling of high-voltage circuits and rail stabilization
• Energy storage for pulse loads and hold-up time improvement
• Through-hole PCB assemblies where radial can form factor is required

Key specifications

• Capacitance: 100 μF
• Rated voltage: 100 VDC
• Package type: radial can (through-hole)
• Dielectric type: aluminum electrolytic
• Typical application: bulk capacitance, smoothing, decoupling

How to use

Select the capacitor for use on DC rails up to the rated voltage and observe polarity when inserting into the PCB; the negative terminal is usually marked on the can. Ensure correct lead spacing and secure solder joints to maintain mechanical stability. Allow for adequate ripple current capability by checking thermal conditions on the board and, where necessary, provide airflow or heat sinking to stay within the part’s operating temperature range.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid exposing the capacitor to voltages above the rated 100 VDC, minimize sustained elevated temperatures, and follow proper polarity during installation. When replacing components, match capacitance and voltage ratings and consider equivalent ripple current and operating temperature specifications to ensure compatibility with the existing circuit.
