PLG1A561MCO1

The PLG1A561MCO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for higher capacitance, low ESR and high ripple current applications. It is a polarized, radial-lead device rated 560 µF at 10 V with a compact φ8 × 9 mm package footprint and 3.5 mm lead spacing.

Engineered for general-purpose power decoupling and bulk energy storage in electronic systems, the part offers a wide operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C. This product is RoHS compliant and compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF rated capacitance at 10 V for bulk decoupling and energy buffering.
• Low ESR — 11 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency performance and reduced power loss.
• High Ripple Current — 2.55 A at 120 Hz and 5.1 A at 100 kHz to support switching converters and high-frequency power stages.
• Temperature & Lifetime — Operating range −55°C to +105°C with a load life specification of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can (φ8 × 9 mm footprint, L: 9 × D: 8 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing and axial polarized leads for through-hole assembly.
• Manufacturing Compatibility — Designed for lead-free flow soldering conditions and compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Capacitance Tolerance — ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable BOM planning.
• Product Status — Scheduled for discontinuation and not recommended for new designs.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Decoupling — Bulk energy storage and output filtering in DC–DC converters where low ESR and high ripple handling are required.
• Switching Power Stages — Smoothing and ripple suppression for high-frequency switching regulators thanks to 5.1 A ripple capability at 100 kHz.
• Embedded and Industrial Electronics — General-purpose decoupling in control boards and industrial modules operating across −55°C to +105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents of 2.55 A (120 Hz) and 5.1 A (100 kHz) reduce heating and extend system reliability in switching applications.
• Very low ESR: 11 mΩ at 100 kHz minimizes voltage drop under load and improves transient response.
• Compact through-hole package: φ8 × 9 mm radial-can footprint delivers high capacitance in a small radial-lead form factor for space-constrained boards.
• Extended temperature capability: −55°C to +105°C operation supports a wide range of environmental conditions.
• Long high-temperature load life: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable endurance for thermal-stressed power designs.
• RoHS and lead-free process compatibility: Conforms to RoHS directives and designed for lead-free flow soldering to align with modern assembly processes.
