PLG1C331MCO1

The PLG1C331MCO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact radial lead can, rated 330 µF at 16 V. It delivers low ESR and high ripple current in a small footprint, designed for general-purpose power decoupling and filtering in electronic assemblies.

This part offers a wide temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C) and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C. Note: this product is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 330 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling.
• Low ESR — 13 mΩ equivalent series resistance specified at 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — 2.35 A at 120 Hz and 4.7 A at 100 kHz to support demanding AC ripple and high-frequency load currents.
• Endurance and Temperature — Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105 °C; operating temperature range −55 °C to +105 °C.
• Radial Lead Package — Compact can-style radial package (φ8 × 9 mm; L: 9 × D: 8 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing and 0.6 mm lead diameter for through-hole mounting.
• Soldering and Compliance — Compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions and compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Device — Polarized electrolytic capacitor for correct polarity installation in DC circuits.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk decoupling and smoothing in power rails where low ESR and substantial capacitance are required.
• High-frequency decoupling — Low ESR specified at 100 kHz supports decoupling tasks in circuits operating at high switching frequencies.
• Compact through-hole assemblies — Small φ8 can and radial lead spacing suit compact PCB layouts that require through-hole capacitors.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss, high-frequency performance: 13 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes power loss and supports stable impedance at high frequency.
• High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 2.35 A (120 Hz) and 4.7 A (100 kHz) allow reliable operation under AC stress.
• Long rated life at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable endurance in thermally demanding environments.
• Compact radial form factor: φ8 × 9 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing enables dense through-hole layouts without sacrificing capacitance.
• Lead-free solder compatibility and RoHS compliance: Supports lead-free flow soldering profiles and meets applicable RoHS requirements.

Why Choose PLG1C331MCO1?
