Overview of PLF1E6R8MCL2 – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, Radial Lead
The PLF1E6R8MCL2 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, designed for high-frequency power applications. It delivers low ESR and high ripple current in a compact φ6.3 × 6 mm package with 2.5 mm lead spacing.
Targeted at demanding electronics including automotive systems, this AEC-Q200 qualified, RoHS-compliant capacitor offers a 6.8 µF / 25 V rating, a wide operating temperature range, and a 2000-hour life at 105°C for robust, long-term performance.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 6.8 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- Low ESR & High-Frequency Performance — ESR specified at 80 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, optimized for high-frequency decoupling and power-rail stability.
- High Ripple Current Capacity — Rated ripple current of 600 mA at 120 Hz and 1.2 A at 100 kHz to support dynamic load conditions.
- Thermal & Reliability Ratings — Operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C and a load life specification of 2000 hours at 105°C.
- Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 qualified, suitable for automotive electronics applications that require component-level qualification.
- Package & Mounting — Radial lead can, 6.3 mm diameter × 6 mm length, 2.5 mm lead spacing; polarized construction for through-hole mounting.
- Environmental Compliance — Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- Automotive Electronics — Power decoupling and smoothing on automotive PCBs where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
- High-Frequency Power Rails — Local decoupling for DC–DC converter outputs and switching supplies operating at high frequencies.
- Embedded Power Systems — Bulk and transient support in compact, through-hole designs that require low ESR and elevated ripple-handling capability.
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for improved high-frequency response — 80 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz supports effective decoupling and fast transient handling in high-frequency circuits.
- High ripple current capability — 1.2 A at 100 kHz and 600 mA at 120 Hz provide margin for dynamic loads and switching applications.
- Automotive-ready qualification — AEC-Q200 qualification aligns the part with automotive electronic requirements for component-level reliability.
- Wide temperature endurance — −55°C to +105°C rating and 2000-hour life at 105°C for reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments.
- Compact radial package — φ6.3 × 6 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing enables space-efficient through-hole placement on PCBs.
- Regulatory compliance — RoHS-compliant construction for use in regulated assemblies.
