The PLF0G122MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package, engineered for low ESR and high ripple-current applications. With a rated voltage of 4 V and capacitance of 1.2 mF, it is specified for operation between −55 °C and +105 °C and offers a load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C.

This part is suited to automotive electronics and other power-dense circuits where low impedance, high ripple handling and AEC-Q200 qualification are required. The device is RoHS compliant and designed for radial, through-hole assembly with lead-free flow soldering compatibility.

Key Features

• Core Performance — 1.2 mF capacitance at a 4 V rated voltage, suitable for bulk and decoupling functions in low-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR and High Ripple Handling — ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, with ripple current ratings of 2.8 A at 120 Hz and 5.6 A at 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency and high-current ripple environments.
• Thermal and Lifetime — Rated operating temperature −55 °C to +105 °C with a load life specified as 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant; endurance and damp-heat characteristics are defined in the PLF series specifications.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm); compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions.
• Electrical Characteristics — Polarized capacitor with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C; designed to meet the PLF series ESR, impedance, and leakage current performance limits as specified in the datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Power filtering and decoupling: Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make the PLF0G122MDO1 suitable for smoothing and decoupling in vehicle power systems.
• Automotive Electronics — High-frequency power stages: The 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 5.6 A ripple rating at 100 kHz address high-frequency switching environments.
• Automotive Electronics — Thermal-stressed environments: Rated for −55 °C to +105 °C with a 2000-hour load life at 105 °C for sustained elevated-temperature operation.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved efficiency: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces AC losses and voltage ripple in high-current circuits.
• High ripple-current capability: 5.6 A at 100 kHz and 2.8 A at 120 Hz support demanding power-conversion and filtering duties.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating provides a qualification path for automotive and similarly demanding applications.
• Compact radial package: Small can footprint (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing enables dense through-hole layouts and ease of assembly.
• Robust thermal endurance: 2000 hours at 105 °C specified load life supports long-term operation in elevated-temperature conditions.
• RoHS compliant and soldering-ready: Conforms to RoHS; series documentation specifies resistance to soldering heat and lead-free flow soldering compatibility.
