PLE0G122MDO1

The PLE0G122MDO1 is a radial lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's PLE series. It delivers ultra-low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact radial can package for general-purpose power applications.

Engineered for demanding thermal and ripple environments, this polarized capacitor supports operation from −55°C to +105°C and a load life rated at 2000 hours at 105°C, providing stable capacitance and reliable endurance where low impedance is required.

Key Features

• Conductive Polymer Aluminum Electrolyte  Solid polymer construction for improved ESR and ripple handling compared to conventional electrolytics.
• Ultra-low ESR  ESR specified at 5 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz, 20°C), minimizing voltage drop and power dissipation in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current  Rated ripple current of 3.6 A at 120 Hz and 7.2 A at 100 kHz supports heavy ripple loading and decoupling duties.
• Rated Performance  Capacitance 1.2 mF with ±20% tolerance and nominal voltage rating of 4 V for stable bulk capacitance in low-voltage power rails.
• Radial Lead Through-hole Package  Radial, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing for secure through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB assembly.
• Temperature and Endurance  Operating range −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C to meet prolonged high-temperature operation.
• RoHS Compliant  Conforms to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering  Smoothing and output filtering on low-voltage power rails where low impedance at high frequency improves transient response.
• Decoupling for Power Modules  Local decoupling in DC/DC converter outputs and regulator modules to reduce voltage ripple and stabilize operation.
• Industrial Electronics  General-purpose energy storage and noise suppression in control and signal-conditioning circuits operating across a wide temperature range.

Unique Advantages

• Reduced Thermal Losses:  Ultra-low ESR (5 mΩ at 100 kHz) lowers I²R losses and heat generation under ripple stress.
• Enhanced Ripple Endurance:  High ripple current ratings (3.6 A at 120 Hz, 7.2 A at 100 kHz) enable longer service life in ripple-intensive applications.
• Durable at Elevated Temperatures:  Rated for continuous operation up to 105°C with a 2000-hour load-life rating for reliable performance in hot environments.
• Through-hole Robustness:  Radial lead, can-style package provides mechanical stability and simple PCB mounting for repairable or prototyping designs.
• Regulatory Compliance:  RoHS conformity supports compliance-driven product development and manufacturing.
