Overview of PLF0E821MDO1 – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 820 µF 2.5 V
The PLF0E821MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package, designed for demanding low-voltage power applications. With a rated capacitance of 820 µF at 2.5 V and low equivalent series resistance, it addresses high ripple current and efficient decoupling needs in electronics.
Engineered for robust operation, this part supports an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 105 °C, a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C, RoHS compliance, and AEC-Q200 qualification for automotive electronics.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 820 µF nominal capacitance at a 2.5 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance, suitable for bulk storage and low-voltage rail decoupling.
- Low ESR — 6 mΩ ESR specified at 100 kHz, enabling reduced power loss and improved transient response in power delivery networks.
- High Ripple Current — Rated ripple handling of 3.1 A at 120 Hz and 6.2 A at 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency switching environments.
- Thermal & Lifetime Performance — Rated for −55 °C to 105 °C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C, meeting endurance requirements for elevated-temperature operation.
- Automotive Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), suitable for automotive electronic systems.
- Radial Lead Package — Radial can with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.2 cm × D: 0.8 cm) for through-hole assembly and PCB retention.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronic control modules — Local energy storage and decoupling on low-voltage power rails in AEC-Q200 qualified systems.
- Power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and high-frequency ripple suppression where low ESR and high ripple current are required.
- DC–DC converter outputs — Stabilization of outputs in converters and point-of-load circuits operating near 2.5 V.
Unique Advantages
- Low-loss power delivery: 6 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes I²R losses and improves efficiency in switching environments.
- High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 3.1 A (120 Hz) and 6.2 A (100 kHz) allow reliable operation under heavy dynamic loading.
- Thermal endurance: 2000-hour load life at 105 °C supports sustained performance in elevated-temperature applications.
- Automotive-ready qualification: AEC-Q200 rating and RoHS compliance simplify integration into automotive electronics designs.
- Compact through-hole form: Radial lead can with 3.5 mm lead spacing provides secure PCB mounting for assemblies that require robust mechanical connection.
