PLF1C471MDO1

The PLF1C471MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package, offering low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding power applications. It delivers 470 µF at 16 V in a compact φ10 × 13L (approx. 1.3 × 1.0 cm) footprint and is designed for use across a wide temperature range from -55°C to 105°C.

This part is AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS compliant and supports lead-free flow soldering conditions. Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 470 µF capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance and polarized construction for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Low ESR — Rated ESR of 9 mΩ at 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency filtering and lower conduction losses.
• High Ripple Current — High ripple capability specified at 3.05 A (120 Hz) and 6.1 A (100 kHz) to support switching regulators and power stages with significant AC current.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105°C with endurance limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR defined in the datasheet.
• Thermal Range — Operating temperature range from -55°C to +105°C for systems exposed to wide temperature variation.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting and lead-free flow soldering compatibility.
• Standards & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863), suitable for regulated environments requiring qualified components.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronics — Suited for automotive modules requiring an AEC-Q200 qualified capacitor with low ESR and high ripple capability.
• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling in power rails where high ripple current handling and low ESR improve regulator stability and thermal performance.
• High-Frequency Power Stages — Applicable in switching converters and DC–DC stages that demand low ESR at 100 kHz and robust ripple current ratings.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for efficient power handling: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple current capability: 6.1 A at 100 kHz and 3.05 A at 120 Hz support demanding switching and filtering applications.
• Wide operating temperature: -55°C to +105°C rating enables use across harsh thermal environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating provides defined reliability criteria for automotive and other high-reliability applications.
• Solder process readiness: Radial lead construction compatible with lead-free flow soldering simplifies through-hole assembly processes.
