PLE0E821MCO6

The PLE0E821MCO6 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for general‑purpose power applications. It combines ultra‑low ESR and high ripple‑current capability in a compact radial package with 3.5 mm lead spacing and an 8 mm diameter.

This part delivers high ripple handling and long endurance with a rated capacitance of 820 µF at 2.5 V, an ESR of 5 mΩ (100 kHz), and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C. Note: this product is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 820 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 2.5 V and tolerance of ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Ultra‑low ESR — ESR specified at 5 mΩ (100 kHz, 20°C) to minimize voltage drop and improve transient response.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 3.15 A at 120 Hz and 6.3 A at 100 kHz, supporting demanding power filtering tasks.
• Endurance & Thermal Range — Load life: 2000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C for robust performance across conditions.
• Radial Lead, Through‑hole Package — Radial can construction with 3.5 mm lead spacing designed for through‑hole mounting and lead‑free flow soldering.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power filtering and decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple capability make the PLE0E821MCO6 suitable for bulk and decoupling caps in power rails.
• Switching power supplies — Use where sustained ripple current handling and low impedance at high frequency improve converter stability and efficiency.
• Embedded and industrial electronics — General‑purpose smoothing and energy‑storage tasks in compact, through‑hole designs that require radial lead components.

Unique Advantages

• Low impedance at high frequency — 5 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves transient response in high‑speed power circuits.
• High ripple tolerance — Rated ripple currents of 3.15 A (120 Hz) and 6.3 A (100 kHz) enable reliable operation under heavy AC loading.
• Extended high‑temperature endurance — 2000 hours at 105°C supports long service life in thermally demanding environments.
• Through‑hole ease of use — Radial lead can with 3.5 mm lead spacing simplifies prototyping, hand‑assembly and retrofit designs.
• RoHS compliant — Meets current RoHS requirements for restricted substances.
