PLV1C471MDL1

The PLV1C471MDL1 is a radial lead, conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor with a rated capacitance of 470 μF and a rated voltage of 16 V. It delivers low equivalent series resistance (23 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current capability (2.9 A at 100 kHz / 1.45 A at 120 Hz), targeted for power-conditioning roles in demanding environments.

Designed for extended operation, the part is specified for −55°C to +105°C and a long life of 3000 hours at 105°C. It is RoHS compliant and meets AEC‑Q200 requirements. Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 μF rated capacitance at 16 V, with capacitance tolerance ±20% (at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance specified at 23 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, 20°C for improved high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — 2.9 A at 100 kHz and 1.45 A at 120 Hz to support significant AC ripple and transient currents.
• Long-Life Thermal Endurance — Endurance specified as 3000 hours at 105°C with limits on capacitance, tan δ and ESR change.
• Wide Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C to suit elevated-temperature environments.
• Radial Lead Package — Radial, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing suitable for through-hole mounting and lead-free flow soldering conditions.
• Reliability & Compliance — AEC‑Q200 compliant and RoHS (2011/65/EU,(EU)2015/863) compliant.
• Physical Size — Compact footprint: approximately 1.3 cm length × 1.0 cm diameter; polarized construction.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — AEC‑Q200 compliance and the −55°C to +105°C rating make this capacitor suitable for automotive power-conditioning circuits.
• Power supply smoothing and decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple-current ratings support bulk filtering and transient energy delivery on DC rails.
• High-temperature electronics — Long-life specification (3000 hours at 105°C) targets designs that require extended operation at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current handling: Rated ripple currents at both low and high frequency reduce stress on the capacitor in applications with significant AC components.
• Low ESR: 23 mΩ (100 kHz) minimizes internal heating and improves high-frequency performance in power circuits.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 105°C provides defined longevity for elevated-temperature deployments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC‑Q200 compliance supports use in automotive-grade designs that require recognized component-level testing.
• Through-hole, serviceable package: Radial lead, can-style construction with lead-free flow soldering compatibility eases assembly and rework on PCBs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance aligns with environmental requirements for restricted substances.
