PLG1A122MDO1

The PLG1A122MDO1 from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead (can) package. It delivers higher capacitance with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for general-purpose applications.

Key electrical and reliability characteristics include 1.2 mF capacitance at 10 V, an ESR of 9 mOhm measured at 100 kHz, ripple-current ratings of 3.1 A (120 Hz) and 6.2 A (100 kHz), and a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C. The part is RoHS compliant and compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage: 1.2 mF capacitance rated at 10 V for higher bulk capacitance in a compact radial package.
• Low ESR: 9 mOhm ESR specified at 100 kHz, supporting lower loss and improved AC performance where low impedance is required.
• High Ripple Current: Rated ripple currents of 3.1 A at 120 Hz and 6.2 A at 100 kHz for handling AC stress and power cycling.
• Temperature & Lifetime: Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting: Radial lead (can) construction with 5 mm lead spacing and physical dimensions L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm.
• Tolerance & Polarization: ±20% capacitance tolerance and polarized construction for correct orientation in circuits.
• Soldering & Environmental: Compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions and compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power supply support: Provides higher capacitance and low ESR where stable bulk capacitance is needed for general circuit power handling.
• High-frequency AC environments: Low ESR and a specified 100 kHz ripple-current rating make the part appropriate where lower impedance at high frequency is required.
• Thermally demanding assemblies: Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C and specified for 2000 hours at 105°C for designs with elevated ambient or component temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Higher capacitance in a compact radial package: 1.2 mF provides substantial capacitance in a small φ × L footprint (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm).
• Low-loss performance: 9 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz reduces AC losses and supports improved efficiency in AC-stressed circuits.
• Robust ripple handling: Distinct ripple-current ratings at 120 Hz and 100 kHz give clear guidance for both low- and high-frequency applications.
• Qualified for elevated temperatures: Endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105°C offers predictable long-term performance under sustained thermal stress.
• Assembly-friendly soldering: Designed to meet lead-free flow soldering conditions, easing integration into lead-free manufacturing processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in regions and products that require restricted-substance compliance.
