PLF0G271MCO8

The PLF0G271MCO8 is a radial lead, conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor delivering 270 µF at 4 V. Engineered for applications that demand low ESR and high ripple-current capability, it combines compact radial-can packaging with robust thermal endurance for automotive use.

Key attributes include a low ESR of 7 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz), high ripple-current ratings, and a rated operating range of −55°C to 105°C. Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Conductive-polymer aluminum construction — Solid electrolyte chemistry for stable electrical performance and reduced equivalent series resistance compared with conventional electrolytics.
• Low ESR & high ripple capability — ESR of 7 mΩ at 100 kHz; ripple current rated at 5.6 A (100 kHz) and 2.8 A (120 Hz), supporting high-frequency power stages and transient loads.
• Thermal endurance — Load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, with operating temperature range from −55°C to 105°C for sustained high-temperature operation.
• AEC-Q200 qualified — Manufactured to meet automotive-grade reliability requirements (AEC-Q200).
• Radial lead package — Polarized radial-can construction with 2.5 mm lead spacing and dimensions L: 9 × D: 6.3 mm, suitable for through-hole mounting.
• Assembly and environmental compliance — Lead-free flow soldering condition correspondence and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Capacitance and tolerance — 270 µF with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — For power modules and control units where high ripple current handling and low ESR improve power delivery stability.
• On-board power filtering — Smooths DC rails and supports switching regulators operating at elevated frequencies and temperatures.
• Embedded power decoupling — Compact radial package for localized decoupling in space-constrained through-hole assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for high-frequency performance: 7 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces losses and voltage drop in switching and buck/boost circuits.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated 5.6 A (100 kHz) and 2.8 A (120 Hz) to support demanding transient and continuous ripple loads.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 qualification and 2000-hour load life at 105°C provide predictable endurance in harsh environments.
• Compact radial form factor: Small 6.3 mm diameter and 9 mm length with 2.5 mm lead spacing for convenient through-hole placement and PCB layout.
• Assembly-ready and RoHS compliant: Compatible with lead-free flow soldering processes and compliant with RoHS directives for modern manufacturing.

Why Choose PLF0G271MCO8?

The PLF0G271MCO8 offers a focused combination of low ESR, high ripple-current handling, and automotive-grade reliability in a compact radial-can package. Its conductive-polymer construction and 2000-hour load-life rating at 105°C make it suitable for designers needing stable filtering and decoupling under elevated temperature and ripple conditions.

This part is ideal for procurement into existing automotive and industrial designs that require verified AEC-Q200 components and proven thermal endurance. Because this product is scheduled for discontinuation and not recommended for new designs, it is best used where form-fit-performance matching to existing BOMs is required.
