PLG0J152MDO1

The PLG0J152MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, engineered for higher capacitance with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple current capability. It delivers 1.5 mF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating, combined with a compact footprint and through-hole mounting for easy integration into power and embedded assemblies.

Key design attributes include low ESR measured at 100 kHz, elevated-temperature endurance, and lead-free flow soldering compatibility. Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Core Dielectric and Construction Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte for higher capacitance and reduced impedance compared with traditional electrolytics.
• Capacitance & Voltage 1.5 mF rated capacitance at 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR ESR of 9 mΩ specified at 100 kHz, supporting improved high-frequency performance and lower power loss.
• High Ripple Current Rated ripple current of 3.15 A at 120 Hz and 6.3 A at 100 kHz for demanding switching and regulator outputs.
• Temperature Range & Reliability Operating range −55°C to +105°C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C; endurance, tan δ and ESR remain within specified limits after test conditions.
• Radial Lead Package Radial can package with 5 mm lead spacing; compact dimensions L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm for space-conscious through-hole designs.
• Manufacturing Compatibility Designed to correspond to lead-free flow soldering conditions and meets the specified resistance to soldering heat.
• Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering and output smoothing Low ESR and high ripple current performance make this capacitor suitable for suppressing ripple and stabilizing DC rails in power supplies.
• DC–DC converter outputs Compact radial packaging with high-frequency low impedance supports output decoupling and energy buffering in switching regulators.
• Embedded and industrial electronics General-purpose bulk capacitance for through-hole boards where reliable elevated-temperature operation and compact size are needed.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-handling capability: 6.3 A at 100 kHz enables use in high-switching environments and reduces heating under AC stress.
• Very low high-frequency ESR: 9 mΩ at 100 kHz lowers power loss and improves transient response for regulators and filters.
• Elevated-temperature endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C supports extended reliability in hot operating conditions.
• Compact radial form factor: Small L × D footprint and 5 mm lead spacing simplify layout in through-hole designs without sacrificing capacitance.
• Lead-free solder compatibility: Conforms to lead-free flow soldering conditions and specified soldering-heat resistance for modern assembly processes.
• RoHS conformity: Compliance with applicable RoHS directives supports environmentally driven procurement requirements.
