Overview of PLF1D220MCL2 – Radial Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor, 22 µF, 20 V
The PLF1D220MCL2 is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor delivering 22 µF at 20 V in a compact φ6.3 × 6 mm can. Designed for applications that demand low ESR and elevated ripple handling, this capacitor targets power-conditioning roles in constrained board layouts.
Engineered for reliability, the device is qualified to AEC-Q200 and supports an operating range from −55°C to 105°C with a 2000-hour endurance rating at 105°C, making it suitable for demanding automotive and industrial power subsystems.
Key Features
- Electrical Performance — 22 µF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 20 V; polarized design for DC power applications.
- Low Loss / High Frequency Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz (V = 20 V); ESR 50 mΩ measured at 20°C, 100 kHz.
- High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 850 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.7 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective suppression of power rail ripple.
- Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 88 µA (measured after rated voltage application conditions as described in the datasheet).
- Reliability & Endurance — Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105°C; endurance and damp‑heat performance limits provided in the datasheet.
- Package & Mounting — Radial lead (can) package, size φ6.3 × 6 mm, lead spacing 2.5 mm (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
- Standards & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- Automotive control modules — Local power filtering and decoupling where AEC‑Q200 qualification and high ripple capability are required.
- DC‑DC converters and voltage regulators — Output and intermediate stage filtering that benefit from low ESR and elevated high-frequency ripple current rating.
- Compact power assemblies — Board-level decoupling in space‑constrained designs thanks to the φ6.3 × 6 mm radial can and 2.5 mm lead spacing.
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for cleaner rails: 50 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and thermal dissipation in high-frequency power circuits.
- High ripple handling: 1.7 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) and 850 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) support demanding transient and switching loads.
- High-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
- Automotive-capable qualification: AEC‑Q200 rating signals suitability for automotive subsystem designs that require component-level stress screening.
- Compact radial package: φ6.3 × 6 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing enables dense board layouts and straightforward through-hole assembly.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant to support restricted substance requirements.
