PLS0G271MCO8

The PLS0G271MCO8 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, optimized for long-life, low-ESR applications. This 270 µF, 4 V polarized capacitor delivers ultra-low equivalent series resistance and high ripple current in a compact 6.3 × 9 mm package for general-purpose electronic designs.

Designed for robust operation across a wide temperature range (−55 °C to +105 °C) and rated for a 5000 hour lifetime at 105 °C, the PLS0G271MCO8 supports demanding power-handling requirements. Note: this product is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer construction — Solid electrolyte design for stable performance and lower ESR compared to traditional wet electrolytics.
• Ultra-low ESR — 8 mΩ specified at 100 kHz (20 °C), reducing heat generation and improving efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple current capability — Rated ripple current of 4.8 A at 100 kHz and 2.4 A at 120 Hz to handle pulsating loads and switching supply applications.
• Long-life endurance — Load life specified at 5000 hours at 105 °C; after the endurance test, capacitance change, tan δ and ESR remain within defined limits per the series specification.
• Radial lead, flow-solder compatible — Radial lead mounting and lead-free flow soldering condition correspondence for through-hole assembly processes.
• Compact footprint — Physical size: L: 9 × D: 6.3 mm with 2.5 mm lead spacing, enabling dense board layouts where space is limited.
• Wide temperature range — Operates from −55 °C to +105 °C for varied environmental conditions.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power circuitry — Use where a compact, low-ESR polarized capacitor is required for bulk capacitance or local energy buffering.
• Switching power supplies and converters — Suited to topologies that benefit from high ripple-current handling and low dissipation at high frequency.
• Industrial and consumer electronics — Appropriate for designs requiring long-life performance up to 105 °C in a radial-lead format.

Unique Advantages

• Improved thermal endurance: 5000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable aging behavior for extended service life in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low loss at high frequency: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz helps minimize voltage drop and heat, supporting higher efficiency in switching circuits.
• High ripple capacity: 4.8 A (100 kHz) ripple rating enables reliable handling of high-current AC components in power systems.
• Assembly-ready radial format: Radial lead and lead-free flow soldering compatibility simplify through-hole PCB assembly processes.
• Compact size for space-constrained layouts: 6.3 mm diameter and 9 mm length allow for dense placement while delivering 270 µF capacitance.
• RoHS compliance: Conforms to applicable RoHS directives for environmentally driven designs.
