Overview of PLF1D820MCL2 – Radial Lead Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor, 82 µF, 20 V
The PLF1D820MCL2 is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for applications that require low ESR and high ripple-current capability. Its compact φ10 × 8 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing make it suitable for space-constrained power circuitry.
Targeted for demanding environments, this part supports automotive-grade requirements and is optimized for power smoothing and decoupling where reliable ripple handling and temperature endurance are required.
Key Features
- Conductive polymer aluminum construction — Solid electrolyte design offering low ESR and stable performance under ripple load.
- Capacitance & voltage — 82 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 20 V and tolerance of ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Low ESR — 40 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 20°C, 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency performance.
- High ripple-current capability — 1.3 A at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.6 A at 100 kHz (high frequency) for robust power-rail smoothing.
- Temperature and endurance — Operating range from −55°C to 105°C with a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
- Leakage and dissipation — Leakage current of 328 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, 20 V for predictable loss characteristics.
- Radial lead package — φ10 × 8 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for straightforward through-hole mounting.
- AEC‑Q200 qualified — Meets AEC‑Q200 requirements for use in automotive electronics (see datasheet for qualification details).
- RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS directives for restricted substances.
Typical Applications
- Automotive electronics — Power-rail decoupling and smoothing in control modules where AEC‑Q200 qualification and temperature endurance are required.
- Power supply filtering — Handling ripple and transient currents in DC-DC converters and voltage regulators due to low ESR and high ripple capability.
- High-frequency decoupling — Use on boards that require stable impedance at 100 kHz for noise suppression and stable power delivery.
Unique Advantages
- Low-loss performance: 40 mΩ ESR and tan δ = 0.12 deliver reduced power dissipation and improved efficiency under AC ripple.
- High ripple tolerance: Rated for 1.3 A (120 Hz) and 2.6 A (100 kHz), enabling reliable smoothing in high-ripple environments.
- Automotive-capable: AEC‑Q200 qualification and −55°C to 105°C operating range support deployment in automotive-grade electronics.
- Compact radial form factor: φ10 × 8 mm can with 5 mm lead spacing provides a space-efficient through-hole solution for board-level power conditioning.
- Robust endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C rated life supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature applications.
