PLF0E821MCO6

The PLF0E821MCO6 is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor specified at 820 µF and 2.5 V. It delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact φ8 × 9 mm can, designed for environments requiring robust power-decoupling and filtering performance.

Engineered with an extended operating temperature range and AEC‑Q200 qualification, this capacitor addresses demanding automotive and industrial power applications that need stable impedance, long life, and low-loss behavior at both low and high frequencies.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Tolerance — 820 µF nominal with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable bulk energy storage.
• Rated Voltage — 2.5 V working voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR — ESR of 7 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, 20°C to minimize power loss and improve high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple-Current Capability — 2.6 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 5.2 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for effective AC ripple handling.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 410 µA after standard conditioning, supporting predictable quiescent behavior.
• Endurance and Temperature — Rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C with an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C for elevated-temperature reliability.
• Package and Mounting — Radial lead can (φ8 × 9 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and straightforward assembly.
• Industry Qualification and Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant, meeting recognized automotive and environmental requirements.
• Packaging Options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit prototyping and production handling.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Supports low-voltage rails and power-conditioning tasks where high ripple-current handling and AEC‑Q200 qualification are required.
• DC power filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and low ESR for smoothing and decoupling on 2.5 V supply lines.
• High-frequency power modules — Designed for applications that require low impedance at 100 kHz and strong high-frequency ripple performance.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss operation: 7 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces dissipative heating and improves converter efficiency under high-frequency switching.
• High ripple-handling capacity: Rated ripple currents of 5.2 A (100 kHz) and 2.6 A (120 Hz) enable reliable performance in both switching and low-frequency environments.
• Thermal and lifecycle robustness: 2000 hours at 105°C life rating and −55°C to +105°C operating range support sustained performance in elevated-temperature conditions.
• Automotive-ready qualification: AEC‑Q200 status provides a traceable qualification path for vehicle-grade designs.
• Compact through-hole form factor: φ8 × 9 mm radial can with 3.5 mm lead spacing delivers high capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained boards.
• Predictable leakage and tolerance: Specified leakage current and ±20% capacitance tolerance simplify margining in power-supply designs.
