PLG0J182MDO1

The PLG0J182MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package. It delivers higher capacitance with low ESR and supports high ripple current, making it suitable for demanding general-purpose power applications that require compact, through‑hole capacitors.

Key reliability attributes include a rated operating range of -55°C to 105°C and a specified 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

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.8 mF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 6.3 V, with ±20% tolerance for reliable bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low ESR & High-Frequency Performance: ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting low loss and improved performance in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple currents of 3.3 A at 120 Hz and 6.6 A at 100 kHz to handle significant AC components and pulse loads.
• Thermal Endurance: Rated for -55°C to 105°C operation with a load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, providing stable performance under elevated temperature stress.
• Radial Through-Hole Package: Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and dimensions L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm for straightforward through‑hole mounting.
• Soldering & RoHS Compliance: Designed for lead-free flow soldering condition correspondence and compliant to RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering: Bulk smoothing and filtering where high capacitance and low ESR reduce voltage ripple and improve regulator stability.
• High-ripple power circuits: Circuits subject to large ripple currents or pulse loads benefit from the part’s specified ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz.
• Decoupling in high-frequency electronics: Low ESR at 100 kHz helps maintain low impedance at switching frequencies for decoupling and transient response.
• General-purpose through‑hole designs: Radial lead mounting suits legacy boards, prototyping, and serviceable assemblies requiring reliable bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact through‑hole package: 1.8 mF in a φ10 × 13 mm (or listed dimensions) style enables higher energy density where surface-mount is not an option.
• Low ESR at high frequency: 8 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces effective series losses, improving efficiency in switching and high-frequency environments.
• Rated for elevated temperatures: 2000 hours at 105°C load life provides predictable aging behavior for designs exposed to sustained heat.
• Designed for lead‑free soldering: Compatibility with lead-free flow soldering processes simplifies assembly for RoHS-compliant manufacturing.
• Defined ripple current ratings: Separate ripple current specifications at 120 Hz and 100 kHz allow precise thermal and reliability planning.
