Overview of PLS0G122MDO1 – Conductive Polymer Radial Lead Capacitor
The PLS0G122MDO1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can. It delivers ultra‑low ESR and high ripple current capability in a compact radial package for general-purpose electronic applications.
Key attributes include a 1.2 mF capacitance at a 4 V rating, long life assurance with a 5000‑hour load life at 105°C, lead‑free flow soldering compatibility, and RoHS compliance. This product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF capacitance with a 4 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for general-purpose energy storage and smoothing tasks.
- Ultra‑low ESR — ESR specified at 8 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, enabling lower losses and improved efficiency in high‑frequency applications.
- High Ripple Current — Handles 2.75 A at 120 Hz and 5.5 A at 100 kHz, supporting demanding AC ripple and switching environments.
- Long Life & Wide Temperature Range — Load life of 5000 hours at 105°C and operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C for sustained performance under elevated temperatures.
- Radial Lead Package — Radial, can package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm), designed for through‑hole mounting.
- Solder & Environmental Compliance — Compatible with lead‑free flow soldering conditions and compliant to the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
- Polarized Device — Electrolytic, polarized capacitor for appropriate DC applications.
Typical Applications
- Power supply smoothing — Provides bulk capacitance and low ESR for filtering and voltage stabilization in DC power supplies and converters.
- Switching regulator output — High ripple current capability supports output decoupling in switching power stages.
- Embedded and industrial electronics — Compact radial package and long life make it suitable for general-purpose energy storage and filtering in industrial and embedded systems.
Unique Advantages
- Measurable low loss at high frequency — 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces AC losses where high‑frequency performance matters.
- High ripple tolerance — Specified ripple currents (2.75 A at 120 Hz, 5.5 A at 100 kHz) allow reliable operation in high‑stress ripple environments.
- Extended thermal endurance — 5000 hours at 105°C supports sustained operation at elevated temperatures without rapid degradation.
- Through‑hole mounting simplicity — Radial lead form factor with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions simplifies replacement and board‑level integration for existing designs.
- Regulatory and process readiness — Lead‑free flow soldering compatibility and RoHS compliance ease production and environmental requirements.
