Overview of PLS0E681MCL2 – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, Radial Lead, 2.5 V, 680 µF
The PLS0E681MCL2 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers ultra-low ESR and high ripple current handling in a compact radial form factor.
Key product attributes include a rated capacitance of 680 µF at 2.5 V, an operating temperature range of −55 °C to +105 °C, and a guaranteed load life of 5000 hours at 105 °C. This part is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 680 µF nominal capacitance rated for 2.5 V operation, with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20 °C.
- Ultra-low ESR — ESR specified at 15 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency performance.
- High ripple current capability — Rated ripple current of 1.95 A at 120 Hz and 3.9 A at 100 kHz for robust AC handling.
- Long life at elevated temperature — Load life specified as 5000 hours at 105 °C with defined endurance limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR.
- Radial lead package — Compact radial can (L: 7 × D: 8 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing suited to through-hole layouts and legacy board styles.
- Soldering and environmental compliance — Radial lead type compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions and compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Wide operating temperature — Specified for −55 °C to +105 °C operation, with impedance stability across that range per datasheet limits.
- Polarized device — Intended for polarized applications; observe correct polarity during assembly and test.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power filtering — Use in power supply filtering where low ESR and elevated ripple-current capability improve voltage stability.
- Bulk energy storage on through-hole boards — Compact radial can provides bulk capacitance for small form-factor assemblies with through-hole mounting.
- High-temperature environments — Suitable where long life at elevated temperatures is required, supported by a 5000-hour rating at 105 °C.
Unique Advantages
- Low-loss performance: 15 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz delivers reduced dissipation for high-frequency and high-ripple applications.
- High ripple tolerance: Rated ripple currents (1.95 A at 120 Hz, 3.9 A at 100 kHz) allow reliable AC stress handling in demanding circuits.
- Proven long-life specification: 5000 hours at 105 °C endurance ensures predictable aging characteristics for thermal stress conditions.
- Compact radial package: Small L × D (7 × 8 mm) radial can fits constrained through-hole layouts while providing substantial capacitance.
- Manufacturing compatibility: Designed for lead-free flow soldering and RoHS compliance to align with common assembly processes and regulations.
