PLG0J821MCO1

The PLG0J821MCO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, manufactured by Nichicon as part of the PLG series. It delivers high capacitance (820 µF) at low voltage (6.3 V) in a compact radial package (φ8 × 9 mm), designed for general-purpose electronic applications.

Key value attributes include low ESR (9 mΩ at 100 kHz), high ripple-current capability (2.85 A at 120 Hz; 5.7 A at 100 kHz), and rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C—providing reliable smoothing and energy-storage performance in low-voltage circuits.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 820 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 6.3 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage in low-voltage designs.
• Low ESR — 9 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, supporting low-loss operation and effective high-frequency decoupling.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple currents of 2.85 A at 120 Hz and 5.7 A at 100 kHz enable handling of high AC stress on power rails.
• Thermal Endurance — Specified lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C and operating range from -55°C to +105°C for sustained performance under elevated temperatures.
• Radial Lead Package — Radial can construction with 3.5 mm lead spacing and φ8 × 9 mm body size for through-hole mounting and compact board layouts.
• Lead-Free Soldering Compatibility — Designed to meet lead-free flow soldering conditions and compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Electrolyte — Polarized capacitor type for correct orientation in DC power circuits.

Typical Applications

• Low-voltage power rails — Bulk decoupling and smoothing on 6.3 V rails where high capacitance and low ESR are required.
• High-frequency power modules — Local energy storage and ripple suppression in converter output stages benefitting from the 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 5.7 A HF ripple rating.
• Compact through-hole assemblies — Use in PCBs and modules that require a radial lead capacitor with a small footprint (φ8 × 9 mm) and 3.5 mm lead spacing.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a small can — 820 µF in a φ8 × 9 mm package reduces board space compared with larger radial options.
• Efficient high-frequency performance — Low ESR at 100 kHz and a high HF ripple-current rating support improved power-supply stability and reduced heat generation.
• Robust thermal specification — 2000 hours at 105°C endurance and a -55°C to +105°C operating range provide predictable behavior across temperature extremes.
• Through-hole mounting convenience — Radial lead format with 3.5 mm spacing simplifies prototyping, repair, and replacement in legacy and industrial assemblies.
• RoHS and lead-free soldering compatible — Conforms to RoHS directives and designed for lead-free flow soldering processes to meet modern manufacturing requirements.
