Overview of PLG1A821MDO1 – Radial Lead Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor, 820 µF · 10 V
The PLG1A821MDO1 is a radial lead, conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 820 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating. It delivers low equivalent series resistance and high ripple current in a compact radial-can package for general-purpose electronic applications.
Key engineering attributes include a wide operating temperature range of -55 °C to 105 °C, a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C, and compliance with RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863). Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.
Key Features
- Core Electrical — 820 µF rated capacitance with ±20% tolerance and polarized construction for bulk energy storage and DC filtering in general-purpose circuits.
- Voltage Rating — 10 V rated voltage suitable for low-voltage power rails.
- Low ESR — 10 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, supporting reduced power loss and improved efficiency at high frequencies.
- High Ripple Current — 2.9 A at 120 Hz and 5.8 A at 100 kHz, enabling robust ripple-handling capability for demanding decoupling and smoothing tasks.
- Thermal & Endurance — Rated for -55 °C to 105 °C with a guaranteed load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C; endurance specifications limit capacitance change to within ±20% and ESR/tan δ to 150% or less after the endurance test.
- Radial Lead Mechanical — Radial, can-style package with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.2 cm × D: 0.8 cm), enabling through-hole mounting and straightforward PCB layout.
- Soldering Compatibility — Designed to correspond to lead-free flow soldering conditions; meets soldering-heat resistance criteria defined in the datasheet.
- Environmental Compliance — Compliant to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- General Purpose Electronics — Specified as "General Purpose" in the product data; suitable where a polarized, high-capacitance, low-ESR radial lead capacitor is required.
- Power Rail Decoupling — Low ESR (10 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple current ratings support decoupling on low-voltage DC power rails.
- Bulk Energy Storage — 820 µF capacitance provides compact bulk storage for stabilized power supply sections within the listed temperature and endurance limits.
Unique Advantages
- High Capacitance in a Compact Can — 820 µF in a 1.2 cm × 0.8 cm package provides substantial bulk capacitance while minimizing PCB footprint.
- Low ESR at High Frequency — 10 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves performance in high-frequency decoupling applications.
- Robust Ripple Handling — Rated ripple currents of 2.9 A (120 Hz) and 5.8 A (100 kHz) accommodate higher AC stress without compromise to performance.
- Elevated Temperature Endurance — Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits on capacitance, ESR and tan δ for predictable long-term behavior.
- Through-Hole Convenience — Radial lead and can package simplify prototyping, repair, and replacement in existing through-hole assemblies.
- RoHS Compliance — Conforms to 2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863 requirements for restricted substances.
