Overview of PLF0J471MDO1 – Radial Conductive-Polymer Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The PLF0J471MDO1 is a radial lead, conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor with a rated capacitance of 470 µF and a rated voltage of 6.3 V. It is designed for applications that require low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple-current handling in a compact φ8 × 12 mm can.
Key value propositions include very low ESR (7 mΩ at 100 kHz), high ripple capability (2.75 A at 120 Hz and 5.5 A at 100 kHz), and robust thermal endurance (2000 hours at 105°C). The part is AEC‑Q200 qualified and specified for operation from −55°C to +105°C.
Key Features
- Dielectric / Construction: Conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolyte in a radial lead can providing stable electrical performance and reduced ESR compared with conventional electrolytics.
- Electrical Performance: 470 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance, rated at 6.3 V; tan δ = 0.08 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz); leakage current 592 µA.
- Low ESR & High Ripple Handling: ESR of 7 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz supports high-frequency decoupling; ripple current ratings of 2.75 A (120 Hz) and 5.5 A (100 kHz) enable effective smoothing and bulk energy buffering.
- Reliability & Lifetime: Load life specified as 2000 hours at 105°C; endurance and damp‑heat performance defined in the PLF series specifications.
- Mechanical & Packaging: Radial lead mounting with dimensions φ8 × 12L and 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm). Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
- Temperature Range & Qualification: Operating temperature −55°C to +105°C; AEC‑Q200 qualified for applications requiring established component stress testing.
Typical Applications
- Power Supply Smoothing: Use as output-filter or bulk capacitors in DC‑DC converters where low ESR and high ripple current improve voltage stability and reduce heat generation.
- Point-of-Load Decoupling: Compact radial package and low ESR make this capacitor suitable for local decoupling at power stages and regulator outputs.
- Motor Drive & Control Electronics: High ripple capability and wide temperature range support filtering and energy buffering in control modules and electronic drives.
- Embedded Systems & Industrial Electronics: Use where compact bulk capacitance and durability (2000 h at 105°C) are required for long-term, high-temperature operation.
Unique Advantages
- Very Low ESR: 7 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and improves high-frequency filtering performance.
- High Ripple Capacity: Rated for 2.75 A (120 Hz) and 5.5 A (100 kHz), enabling effective smoothing under demanding current conditions.
- Compact Radial Form: φ8 × 12 mm package with 3.5 mm lead spacing provides substantial capacitance in a small footprint for through-hole assemblies.
- Thermal Endurance: 2000-hour life at 105°C supports reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments.
- Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC‑Q200 qualification supports use in designs that require recognized component stress testing and qualification.
- RoHS Compliant: Manufactured in compliance with RoHS directives for restricted substances.
