Overview of PLE0E821MDO1 – Radial Lead, Ultra-low ESR Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor
The PLE0E821MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package, designed for general-purpose electronic applications that demand ultra-low ESR and high ripple current capability. It combines a compact footprint with conductive-polymer performance characteristics to support power-density and thermal endurance requirements.
Key electrical attributes include 820 µF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating, an ESR of 5 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz), and high ripple-current ratings—making it suitable where effective smoothing and transient handling matter. The part meets RoHS directives and is built for elevated-temperature endurance.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage: 820 µF rated at 2.5 V for bulk energy storage in low-voltage power rails.
- Ultra-low ESR: 5 mΩ (100 kHz) for reduced conduction losses and improved transient response.
- High ripple-current capability: 6.6 A at 100 kHz and 3.3 A at 120 Hz to handle switching noise and sustained ripple loads.
- Thermal and lifetime performance: Operating range −55°C to +105°C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting elevated-temperature applications.
- Package and mounting: Radial lead, can-style package with 3.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting and lead-free flow soldering compatibility.
- Tolerance & polarity: Polarized capacitor with ±20% capacitance tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Compliance: RoHS directive compliant.
- Compact footprint: Size approximately 1.2 × 0.8 cm (L × D) for dense board layouts.
Typical Applications
- Power supply filtering and decoupling: Use on low-voltage rails where 820 µF and ultra-low ESR help reduce output ripple and stabilize converters.
- High-ripple current circuits: Suited for switching regulators and power modules that subject capacitors to significant AC ripple due to its 100 kHz and 120 Hz ripple-current ratings.
- General-purpose electronic assemblies: Through-hole radial lead package supports robust mounting in compact, serviceable designs across consumer and industrial equipment.
Unique Advantages
- Reduced voltage ripple: Very low ESR (5 mΩ at 100 kHz) minimizes AC voltage drop and improves regulator stability and transient performance.
- High ripple endurance: Rated ripple currents (6.6 A at 100 kHz, 3.3 A at 120 Hz) allow reliable operation under continuous ripple stress.
- Elevated-temperature reliability: Rated for −55°C to +105°C with 2000 hours load life at 105°C, enabling longer service in hot environments.
- Through-hole robustness: Radial lead can package offers mechanical durability and straightforward assembly for repairable or high-vibration applications.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction to meet environmental directive requirements.
- Compact energy density: 820 µF in a small radial can assists in minimizing board area while retaining bulk capacitance.
