PLF1E100MCL2

The PLF1E100MCL2 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for applications that demand low ESR and high ripple current. With a compact footprint and wide operating temperature range, it targets automotive and other high-reliability electronics where stable filtering and decoupling are required.

Key value propositions include low equivalent series resistance (60 mΩ at 100 kHz), high ripple handling (1.5 A at 100 kHz), AEC-Q200 qualification, and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C—providing predictable electrical performance across temperature and frequency.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 10 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V, with tolerance ±20%.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability: ESR of 60 mΩ at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 1.5 A at 100 kHz and 750 mA at 120 Hz support high-frequency switching environments.
• Thermal and Lifetime Performance: Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C and a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C reflect endurance for thermally demanding applications.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead can package (size L: 7 × D: 8 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing, polarized configuration for through-hole PCB mounting.
• Reliability & Compliance: AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS-compliant; compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions as noted for radial lead assembly.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics: Suitable for in-vehicle systems requiring AEC-Q200 qualification and operation across −55°C to +105°C.
• Power supply decoupling: Low ESR and high ripple current ratings make it well suited for bulk decoupling and smoothing in power rails, including switching regulator outputs.
• High-frequency filtering: Performance at 100 kHz supports use in high-frequency switching environments where stable impedance and low losses are important.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss polymer electrolyte: Conductive polymer chemistry delivers low ESR (60 mΩ at 100 kHz) for improved transient response and reduced heating under ripple load.
• High ripple tolerance: Rated for up to 1.5 A at 100 kHz, enabling reliable operation in demanding switching-power stages.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 rating supports adoption in vehicle electronics and other reliability-focused designs.
• Compact radial can: Small 7 × 8 mm can size and 3.5 mm lead spacing provide a space-efficient through-hole option for PCB implementations.
• Robust thermal endurance: Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, offering predictable long-term behavior in elevated-temperature environments.
• RoHS and lead-free solder compatible: Meets RoHS directives and is specified for lead-free flow soldering conditions for compliant assembly processes.
