PLG0E222MDO1

The PLG0E222MDO1 is a radial lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s PLG series. It delivers higher capacitance with low ESR and high ripple-current handling in a compact radial-can package, intended for general-purpose electronic power applications.

Key attributes include a 2.2 mF capacitance at 2.5 V, an operating temperature range of -55 °C to +105 °C, and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C. Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Core Construction 
  Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte design providing low impedance at high frequency.
• Capacitance & Voltage 
  2.2 mF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of -20% to +20% and a rated voltage of 2.5 V.
• Low ESR 
  ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting low-loss operation in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current 
  Rated ripple current of 3.35 A at 120 Hz and 6.7 A at 100 kHz for robust AC loading performance.
• Temperature & Lifetime 
  Operating range -55 °C to +105 °C with a load life specified at 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Package & Mounting 
  Radial lead, can-style package with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compact footprint (L: 1.2 cm × D: 0.8 cm).
• Soldering Compatibility 
  Designed to correspond to lead‑free flow soldering conditions (preheat/peak profiles per datasheet).
• Regulatory 
  RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply decoupling 
  Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make this part suitable for decoupling and smoothing on 2.5 V rails.
• DC–DC converter output filtering 
  High-frequency low impedance supports stable filtering on compact converter outputs.
• Hold-up and bulk storage in compact boards 
  Higher capacitance in a small radial package provides energy storage where space is limited.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact can 
  2.2 mF in a small radial package reduces board area compared with multiple discrete parts.
• Low high-frequency impedance 
  8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes AC losses and voltage ripple under switching conditions.
• Robust ripple handling 
  High rated ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support demanding power stages and converters.
• Extended high-temperature endurance 
  2000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable life performance in thermally stressed environments.
• Radial lead and lead‑free solder compatibility 
  Simplifies assembly on through-hole or mixed-technology boards using lead‑free flow soldering.
• RoHS compliance 
  Meets current RoHS requirements for material restrictions.
