PLV1D331MDL1

The PLV1D331MDL1 from Nichicon is a radial lead, conductive-polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor specified at 330 µF and 20 V. Designed for robust power filtering in demanding environments, it delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and elevated ripple-current capability in a compact radial can package.

Built for applications requiring long-term thermal endurance, this part is rated for 3000 hours at 105°C, operates from −55°C to +105°C, and carries AEC-Q200 and RoHS compliance for use in automotive and industrial electronics.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 330 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 20 V and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR — ESR of 24 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, 20°C for improved power efficiency and reduced heat generation.
• High Ripple Current — 1.4 A at 120 Hz and 2.8 A at 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency and low-frequency ripple handling in power circuits.
• Long Life & Temperature Range — Endurance rated 3000 hours at 105°C; operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C for extended thermal reliability.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm), suitable for through-hole assembly.
• Polarized — Polarized capacitor for DC power applications.
• Compliance — AEC-Q200 compliant and RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suitable for in-vehicle power supply filtering and energy storage where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• DC–DC converters — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability support input/output smoothing and decoupling in converter stages.
• Power management modules — Compact radial package and solid conductive-polymer construction suit on-board power regulation and local bulk capacitance.

Unique Advantages

• High thermal endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable performance over extended high-temperature operation cycles.
• Improved power handling: Low ESR (24 mΩ at 100 kHz) combined with specified ripple currents reduces losses and supports higher efficiency in power rails.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 compliance aligns the part with automotive system qualification and reliability expectations.
• Compact radial form factor: Small can size (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm) and 5 mm lead spacing enable space-efficient through-hole mounting on power boards.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current RoHS directives for regulatory conformity in commercial and industrial products.
