PLG0E182MCO1

The PLG0E182MCO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, optimized for general-purpose electronic applications requiring higher capacitance with low impedance. It delivers 1.8 mF at 2.5 V with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for effective filtering and decoupling in low-voltage designs.

Key value propositions include low ESR, high ripple handling, a wide operating temperature range and a 2000-hour load life at 105°C. The part is RoHS compliant and compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions. Note: this product is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Performance — High capacitance & low ESR: 1.8 mF capacitance combined with an ESR of 9 mOhm at 100 kHz for low-impedance operation.
• High ripple-current capability: Rated for 3 A at 120 Hz and 6 A at 100 kHz to handle AC ripple and demanding decoupling loads.
• Thermal endurance: Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & assembly: Radial lead can with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 9 × D: 8 mm); compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions.
• Reliability characteristics: Endurance and damp-heat performance per series specifications with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after stress tests.
• Polarized, general-purpose design: Polarized conductive-polymer aluminum capacitor suited to a variety of general-purpose electronic applications.
• Regulatory compliance: Compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering: Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make this part well suited for smoothing and decoupling on low-voltage power rails.
• High-frequency decoupling: Low impedance at 100 kHz supports improved transient response and stability in circuits requiring compact, high-capacitance filtering.
• Through-hole assembly systems: Radial lead format and lead-free flow soldering compatibility simplify integration into wave or manual soldering processes for general electronics assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high-capacitance option: 1.8 mF in a φ8 × 9 mm radial can provides substantial capacitance in a small footprint for space-constrained boards.
• Low-impedance performance: 9 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz reduces ripple voltage and power dissipation under load.
• Strong ripple handling: 3 A at 120 Hz and 6 A at 100 kHz allow the capacitor to manage significant AC ripple currents in power circuits.
• Durable at elevated temperature: 2000-hour load-life rating at 105°C offers predictable long-term performance in hotter operating environments.
• Assembly-friendly package: Radial leads with 3.5 mm spacing and soldering compatibility ease placement and solder-process integration.
• RoHS compliant: Meets restricted-substance requirements under applicable EU directives.
