PLS0E821MCO6

The PLS0E821MCO6 from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can. Designed for general-purpose electronics, it delivers ultra-low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact radial package.

Key value propositions include long-life assurance with a 5000-hour rating at 105°C, very low ESR (7 mΩ at 100 kHz), and compatibility with lead-free flow soldering processes. It is suitable for designs that require robust ripple handling and compact bulk capacitance at low voltage.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance  820 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 2.5 V with ±20% tolerance; polarized for correct orientation in circuits.
• Ultra-low ESR & High Ripple  ESR specified at 7 mΩ (100 kHz) and rated ripple current of 5.2 A at 100 kHz and 2.6 A at 120 Hz—optimizing energy delivery and minimizing losses.
• Long Life  Endurance rated for 5000 hours at 105°C, with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR after the life test.
• Thermal & Environmental  Operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C; RoHS compliant and compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions.
• Package & Mounting  Radial lead, can-style package with lead spacing of 3.5 mm and compact dimensions (L: 9 × D: 8 mm) for through-hole mounting.

Typical Applications

• Power supply decoupling  Bulk and decoupling capacitance in general-purpose power supplies where low ESR and high ripple capability improve voltage stability.
• Energy storage for converters  Local energy reservoir for DC–DC converters and power regulation circuits that require compact, high-capacitance parts.
• General-purpose electronic assemblies  Through-hole designs and boards that need reliable, long-life electrolytic capacitance with lead-free soldering compatibility.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-handling capacity: Rated ripple currents of 5.2 A (100 kHz) and 2.6 A (120 Hz) reduce heating and extend system reliability under dynamic loads.
• Very low ESR: 7 mΩ at 100 kHz lowers power dissipation and supports tighter voltage regulation in high-frequency circuits.
• Long high-temperature endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C provides predictable long-term performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• Compact radial form factor: 9 × 8 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing delivers substantial capacitance in a small through-hole footprint.
• Assembly-ready: Radial lead design compatible with lead-free flow soldering simplifies integration into modern manufacturing processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant construction supports environmental and regulatory requirements.
