Overview of PLG0G272MDO1 – 2.7 mF Radial Lead Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor
The PLG0G272MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can package, designed for general-purpose electronic applications that require higher capacitance with low equivalent series resistance. It combines a 2.7 mF capacitance at a 4 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for reliable board-level energy storage and decoupling.
Engineered for elevated-temperature endurance, the part offers a 2000-hour load life at 105°C and a wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C, making it suitable for compact assemblies where sustained performance under heat and stress is required.
Key Features
- Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte construction for low impedance and stable high-frequency performance.
- Capacitance & Voltage 2.7 mF nominal capacitance with a 4 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Low ESR Very low ESR: 8 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting reduced voltage drop and improved transient response.
- High Ripple Current High ripple capability of 6.9 A at 100 kHz and 3.45 A at 120 Hz for demanding power-conditioning roles.
- Reliability & Lifetime Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105°C; performance criteria include capacitance change within ±20% and ESR/tan δ within specified limits after endurance testing.
- Package & Mounting Radial lead can with 5 mm lead spacing, polarized construction, and compact dimensions (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm) for easy through-hole assembly.
- Temperature Range & Stability Rated for −55°C to +105°C with specified impedance stability across the temperature range.
- Soldering & Environmental Compliance Conforms to lead-free flow soldering conditions and is RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronic circuits — Provides high-capacitance energy storage and decoupling where low ESR and high ripple handling improve system stability.
- Power supply filtering — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings help suppress output ripple and support regulators in compact assemblies.
- Board-level bulk storage — Radial-lead can form factor and compact dimensions make the part suitable for through-hole bulk capacitance on mixed-technology PCBs.
Unique Advantages
- Low-impedance performance: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage loss and improves transient response in high-frequency environments.
- High ripple capacity: Rated ripple currents of 6.9 A (100 kHz) and 3.45 A (120 Hz) enable robust operation under significant AC stress.
- Heat-endurance specification: 2000-hour load life at 105°C demonstrates sustained performance for designs exposed to elevated temperatures.
- Compact radial package: Small can dimensions and 5 mm lead spacing simplify through-hole placement and mechanical retention on assemblies.
- Lead-free solder compatibility and RoHS compliance: Meets lead-free flow soldering conditions and environmental directive requirements for regulatory compliance.
