PLG1C471MDO1

The PLG1C471MDO1 is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers higher capacitance with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple current handling in a compact radial can package.

Key attributes include a 470 µF capacitance at 16 V, an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C, and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C. The part is RoHS compliant and compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions. Products in this series are scheduled to be discontinued and are not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk energy storage and decoupling in compact layouts.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability — ESR of 11 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and ripple current ratings of 5.4 A at 100 kHz and 2.7 A at 120 Hz, enabling effective smoothing in high-frequency and switching applications.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, maintaining capacitance and ESR within endurance limits after exposure.
• Radial Lead Package — Through-hole radial can construction with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm), suited for board-level mounting and assemblies that use leaded components.
• Soldering & Mounting — Designed to meet lead-free flow soldering conditions with resistance-to-soldering-heat characteristics specified in the datasheet.
• Polarized — Polarized capacitor type for correct orientation in DC circuits.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU and (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Electronics — Bulk decoupling and energy storage in a wide range of electronic equipment where a compact, low-ESR 470 µF, 16 V capacitor is required.
• Switching Power Supplies & Converters — Output filtering and ripple smoothing in switching regulators and power modules, leveraging the low ESR measured at 100 kHz and specified high-frequency ripple ratings.
• Board-Level Through-Hole Assemblies — Radial lead format and lead-free flow soldering compatibility make this part suitable for through-hole PCB designs and repair/replacement scenarios.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Small Package: 470 µF in a compact radial can (L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm) provides significant bulk capacitance where board space is limited.
• Low ESR for Improved Power Integrity: 11 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces heat generation and improves voltage stability under dynamic loads.
• Strong High-Frequency Performance: Ripple current ratings at both 120 Hz and 100 kHz support use in both low- and high-frequency filtering applications.
• Robust Thermal Rating and Lifetime: −55°C to +105°C operating range and 2000-hour load life at 105°C support reliable operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Lead-Free Soldering Compatibility: Designed for lead-free flow soldering conditions to align with modern assembly processes.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets relevant RoHS directives for environmental compliance.
