PLF0E102MDO1

The PLF0E102MDO1 is a radial lead conductive‑polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offered by Nichicon. It provides a compact, polarized cylindrical can package with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple current capability intended for robust electronic modules.

Designed for demanding temperature environments, this part is AEC‑Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant, and rated for operation from -55°C to 105°C with a rated voltage of 2.5 V and 1 mF capacitance. Load life is specified at 2000 hours at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1 mF capacitance at a rated voltage of 2.5 V, with a tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low ESR — ESR specified at 6 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C), supporting low‑loss operation in high‑frequency conditions.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple currents of 3.25 A at 120 Hz and 6.5 A at 100 kHz for handling AC stress in power circuits.
• High‑Temperature Endurance — Load life of 2000 hours at 105°C; endurance and damp‑heat performance are specified in the product datasheet.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC‑Q200 qualified for use in automotive electronics requiring that qualification.
• Package & Mounting — Radial, can‑style package with 5 mm lead spacing; nominal size L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm and polarized construction.
• Soldering Compatibility — Radial lead type designed to meet lead‑free flow soldering conditions.
• Environmental Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronic modules — AEC‑Q200 qualification and a -55°C to 105°C operating range suit modules requiring robust, qualified passives.
• High‑ripple power circuits — Low ESR and specified ripple current ratings support use where sustained AC ripple is present.
• Radial‑lead assemblies — Compact radial can package and 5 mm lead spacing fit designs that use through‑hole mounting and conventional leaded assembly processes.

Unique Advantages

• Measurable low loss: 6 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces AC losses where high‑frequency ripple is present, helping manage thermal and electrical stress.
• High ripple handling: Clear ripple current ratings (3.25 A at 120 Hz, 6.5 A at 100 kHz) allow designers to select the part based on quantified AC performance.
• Thermal endurance: 2000 hours load life at 105°C provides defined long‑term performance for elevated‑temperature applications.
• Automotive grade: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in automotive electronics that require that level of component qualification.
• Assembly friendly: Radial lead form with lead‑free flow soldering compatibility simplifies integration into through‑hole manufacturing flows.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity ensures alignment with common environmental requirements.

Why Choose PLF0E102MDO1?

The PLF0E102MDO1 combines conductive‑polymer aluminum capacitor benefits—low ESR and high ripple capability—with automotive‑grade qualification and defined high‑temperature endurance. Its radial lead can form factor and lead‑free solder compatibility make it suitable for established through‑hole assembly processes where a compact, polarized bulk capacitor is required.

This part is well suited to designers and procurement teams specifying qualified, high‑ripple capacitors for modules operating across -55°C to 105°C who need clear, testable specifications for ESR, ripple current, and load life.
