Overview of PLG0E392MDO1 – Radial Lead Conductive Polymer Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 3.9 mF, 2.5 V
The PLG0E392MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for higher capacitance, low ESR and high ripple current performance. It is intended for general-purpose electronic designs that require compact, low-impedance energy storage with an operating range from -55°C to +105°C.
Key value propositions include a rated capacitance of 3.9 mF at 2.5 V, very low ESR specified at 100 kHz, and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C. The part is RoHS compliant and supports lead-free flow soldering conditions.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 3.9 mF nominal capacitance rated at 2.5 V with ±20% tolerance, offering substantial stored charge in a compact radial package.
- Low ESR — ESR specified at 8 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling low-impedance performance for high-frequency applications.
- High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 3.5 A at 120 Hz and 7 A at 100 kHz supports demanding AC ripple environments.
- Thermal and Endurance — Operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C and a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C for durability under elevated temperatures.
- Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm), suitable for through-hole mounting.
- Polarized — Polar capacitor design for correct orientation in DC circuits.
- Manufacturing Compatibility — Conforms to lead-free flow soldering conditions and is RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- Power Supply Filtering — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and decoupling in compact power supply stages.
- High-Frequency Energy Storage — ESR specified at 100 kHz and high ripple handling support applications with high-frequency switching components.
- Embedded and General-Purpose Electronics — Radial lead package and compact size lend themselves to through-hole designs and retrofit or replacement use in general-purpose circuits.
Unique Advantages
- High Stored Energy in a Small Footprint: 3.9 mF capacitance in a φ10 × 13 mm-class radial can provides substantial charge capacity while conserving board area.
- Low-Impedance Performance: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and improves stability in high-frequency environments.
- Robust Ripple Handling: Dual ripple-current ratings (3.5 A at 120 Hz and 7 A at 100 kHz) allow designers to size for both low- and high-frequency ripple stress.
- Wide Temperature Range and Proven Life: -55°C to +105°C operation and 2000-hour life at 105°C provide predictable endurance in elevated-temperature applications.
- Assembly-Friendly Package: Radial leads with 5 mm spacing and compatibility with lead-free flow soldering simplify through-hole assembly processes.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance ensures alignment with common environmental requirements.
