PLF1C271MDO1

The PLF1C271MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can package. It delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple current capability for board-level power conditioning.

Designed for automotive use, the part is AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant. It features a 16 V rating, 270 µF capacitance, polarized construction and a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C. Note: this product is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of ±20%.
• Low ESR — 9 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency decoupling.
• High Ripple Current — 2.55 A at 120 Hz and 5.1 A at 100 kHz for reduced heating under ripple-loaded conditions.
• Thermal Performance & Lifetime — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Automotive Qualification & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Radial Lead Package — Radial, can-style package with 3.5 mm lead spacing and lead‑free flow soldering condition correspondence; polarized for DC applications.
• Compact Size — Size dimensions L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm with a maximum seated height of 1.2 cm for space-conscious board layouts.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails — Local smoothing and decoupling where AEC‑Q200 qualification, low ESR and high ripple current handling are required.
• DC‑DC converters — Input/output filtering in converters that demand low impedance at high frequency and robust ripple endurance.
• In-vehicle electronics modules — Power conditioning in modules subjected to elevated temperatures and continuous duty cycles.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss high-frequency performance: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz plus specified high-frequency ripple current (5.1 A at 100 kHz) reduces voltage ripple and heat generation on high-speed rails.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC‑Q200 qualification and a 2000-hour load life at 105°C provide validated durability for demanding operating environments.
• Wide operating temperature range: −55°C to +105°C supports operation across harsh thermal conditions.
• Soldering process compatibility: Radial lead design with lead-free flow soldering correspondence eases through-hole assembly processes.
• Compact form factor: Small can size (L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm) and 3.5 mm lead spacing enable dense PCB placement while maintaining high ripple handling.

Why Choose PLF1C271MDO1?

The PLF1C271MDO1 combines conductive polymer chemistry with a radial can form factor to deliver low ESR, high ripple current capability and automotive-grade qualification. Its thermal endurance (2000 hours at 105°C) and wide temperature range make it suitable for power-filtering roles in temperature-stressed environments.

This part is appropriate for designs that require robust board-level decoupling and ripple handling with AEC‑Q200 qualification. Note that the product is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs; it remains a viable option for sustaining and replacement needs where its specific performance profile is required.
