PLE0E152MDO1

The PLE0E152MDO1 is a radial‑lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for general‑purpose electronic applications that demand ultra‑low ESR and high ripple handling. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating in a compact radial can (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing and polarized terminals.

Key attributes include an ESR of 5 mΩ at 100 kHz, high ripple current capability (3.65 A at 120 Hz / 7.3 A at 100 kHz), and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C. The part is RoHS compliant and supports lead‑free flow soldering conditions.

Note: The PLE series is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1.5 mF capacitance at 2.5 V with polarization; ultra‑low ESR specified at 5 mΩ (100 kHz) to minimize loss and improve high‑frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 3.65 A at 120 Hz and 7.3 A at 100 kHz to support demanding power decoupling and smoothing tasks.
• Thermal and Lifetime Rating — Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105°C with operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C for thermal resilience in elevated environments.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can package with 5 mm lead spacing suitable for through‑hole mounting and hand or wave/flow solder processes.
• Solderability & Compliance — Designed for lead‑free flow soldering conditions and compliant with RoHS (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863).
• Compact Footprint — Small physical size (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm) for space‑constrained boards requiring bulk capacitance and low impedance.

Typical Applications

• Power supply decoupling — Low ESR (5 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple current capability make the capacitor suitable for decoupling and stabilizing DC power rails.
• DC‑DC converter filtering — High ripple handling at switching frequencies supports input/output filtering in compact converter modules.
• Smoothing for power rails — Bulk capacitance (1.5 mF) combined with low impedance helps reduce voltage ripple and improve transient response.
• General‑purpose industrial electronics — Polarized, through‑hole mounting and wide temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) suit various general‑purpose applications requiring robust electrolytic performance.

Unique Advantages

• Low AC loss at high frequency: 5 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces heat generation and improves efficiency in high‑frequency circuits.
• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents (3.65 A @120 Hz, 7.3 A @100 kHz) enable reliable operation under heavy ripple stress.
• Thermally robust: 2000 hours rated life at 105°C supports long‑term operation in elevated temperature environments.
• Compact, through‑hole form factor: Radial can package with 5 mm lead spacing offers easy placement and mechanical stability for PCB assemblies.
• Lead‑free and RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863) requirements and supports lead‑free flow soldering conditions for modern assembly processes.
