PLV1C271MDL1

The PLV1C271MDL1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can package optimized for high ripple current and low equivalent series resistance (ESR). It is specified at 270 µF and 16 V with a wide operating temperature range of −55 °C to +105 °C and a guaranteed lifetime of 3000 hours at 105 °C.

Designed for automotive electronics and other demanding power applications, this radial-leaded capacitor delivers reliable decoupling and smoothing where low ESR, high ripple handling, and elevated temperature endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage: 270 µF capacitance rated for 16 V, suitable for DC decoupling and bulk energy storage in low-voltage power rails.
• Conductive Polymer Dielectric: Solid conductive polymer construction provides inherently low ESR and stable performance at high ripple currents.
• Low ESR: 24 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz (20 °C), supporting efficient power delivery and reduced thermal dissipation.
• High Ripple Current Capability: Rated ripple current of 1.25 A at 120 Hz and 2.5 A at 100 kHz to handle switching and high-frequency load transients.
• Long High-Temperature Life: Endurance of 3000 hours at 105 °C with defined limits on capacitance change, tan δ, ESR and leakage current after test.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification: AEC-Q200 compliant and specified for automotive applications.
• Robust Temperature Range: Operational from −55 °C to +105 °C, maintaining impedance ratios within specified limits across the range.
• Radial Lead Package: Radial can package with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compact size (L: 1.2 × D: 0.8 cm) for through-hole mounting and wave/flow soldering compatibility.
• Standards and Compliance: Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863); lead-free flow soldering conditions supported.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs): Bulk and decoupling capacitor for power rails where high ripple current and elevated temperature endurance are required.
• DC–DC Converter Output Filtering: Low ESR and high-frequency ripple capability make it suitable for smoothing outputs of switching regulators.
• Power Supply Decoupling in Harsh Environments: Use in systems that require stable capacitance and low loss across −55 °C to +105 °C.

Unique Advantages

• Low Thermal Losses: 24 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and limits self-heating under ripple load.
• High Ripple Handling: Specified ripple currents at both low and high frequencies (1.25 A at 120 Hz, 2.5 A at 100 kHz) support switching power stages and transient loads.
• Extended High-Temperature Endurance: 3000 hours at 105 °C provides predictable aging behavior for long-life applications.
• Automotive-Grade Reliability: AEC-Q200 compliance and RoHS conformity support deployment in regulated automotive designs.
• Through-Hole Robustness: Radial lead can package with lead-free soldering support simplifies assembly for mixed-technology boards and repairable designs.
