Overview of PLG1C821MDO1 – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 16 V, 820 µF

The PLG1C821MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package. It delivers high capacitance with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and supports high ripple currents for demanding power applications.

Designed for general-purpose electronics, this radial-lead capacitor offers a rated capacitance of 820 µF at 16 V, an operating temperature range of -55 °C to 105 °C, and a load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C. Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

  • Core Type — Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid electrolytic construction for improved conductivity and stability compared with traditional wet electrolytes.
  • Capacitance & Voltage 820 µF rated capacitance at a 16 V rating with ±20% tolerance.
  • Low ESR 11 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz (20 °C), supporting low-loss operation at high frequency.
  • High Ripple Current 2.8 A at 120 Hz and 5.6 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective handling of AC ripple in power circuits.
  • Thermal and Lifetime Performance Operating range -55 °C to 105 °C with an endurance rating of 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated voltage.
  • Package & Mounting Radial lead can package with 5 mm lead spacing and a compact footprint (L: 1.3 cm × D: 1.0 cm), compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions.
  • Regulatory Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

  • General-purpose power filtering — Filtering and smoothing in power supply sections where high capacitance and low ESR are needed.
  • High-frequency decoupling — Local energy storage and decoupling for circuits requiring stable performance at 100 kHz.
  • Ripple current management — Circuits that must absorb significant ripple currents, leveraging the part's specified ripple ratings.

Unique Advantages

  • Low-loss high-frequency behavior: 11 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces power dissipation and improves efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
  • High ripple current capability: Rated for 2.8 A (120 Hz) and 5.6 A (100 kHz), enabling reliable performance under AC stress.
  • Extended thermal endurance: 2000-hour load life at 105 °C supports durability in elevated-temperature environments.
  • Compact radial-lead form factor: Small footprint (1.3 × 1.0 cm) with 5 mm lead spacing simplifies placement in constrained layouts.
  • Lead-free solder compatibility: Designed to meet lead-free flow soldering conditions for assembly process compliance.
  • RoHS compliant: Built to meet current RoHS requirements for regulatory alignment.
