PLF1A151MDL4

The PLF1A151MDL4 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for low ESR and high ripple current applications. It delivers 150 µF at 10 V in a compact radial package with a 2.5 mm lead spacing and operates across −55 °C to +105 °C.

This part carries AEC-Q200 qualification, offers a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C, and complies with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU) 2015/863). It is compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions. Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated capacitance at 10 V, with a tolerance of ±20% (−20% ~ 20%) at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability — ESR of 25 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling ripple current handling of 1.45 A at 120 Hz and 2.9 A at 100 kHz.
• Thermal and Lifetime Performance — Operating temperature range of −55 °C to +105 °C and a load-life rating of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Reliability & Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified and designed to meet endurance and damp-heat requirements specified in the PLF series datasheet.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package (size L × D: 1.05 cm × 0.63 cm) with 2.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting.
• Manufacturing Compatibility — Corresponds to lead-free flow soldering conditions and is RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for electronic modules where AEC-Q200 qualification is required.
• High-ripple power filtering — Low ESR and specified ripple current ratings make it suitable for smoothing and decoupling in high-ripple environments.
• High-temperature endurance modules — Rated for continuous operation up to 105 °C with a specified 2000-hour load life at that temperature.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: Specified ripple currents (1.45 A at 120 Hz, 2.9 A at 100 kHz) reduce heating and improve performance in demanding power circuits.
• Low ESR performance: 25 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers losses and supports stable voltage smoothing and decoupling.
• Robust thermal rating: −55 °C to +105 °C operating range and 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C provide predictable behavior in elevated-temperature environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification: Suitable for applications specifying AEC-Q200 compliance and associated reliability tests.
• Through-hole radial packaging: Compact φ6.3 can dimensions (1.05 × 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing simplify board-level integration for through-hole assemblies.
• RoHS and lead-free process compatibility: Conforms to RoHS directives and is compatible with lead-free flow soldering processes.
