PLV1E151MDL1

The PLV1E151MDL1 from Nichicon is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor with a 150 µF capacitance and a 25 V rated voltage. Built for robust thermal performance and power-handling, it features low ESR and high ripple-current ratings targeted at demanding environments.

This part is AEC-Q200 compliant, RoHS-compliant, and designed for long life (3000 hours at 105°C). Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 150 µF capacitance at 25 V rated voltage, polarized design for DC power applications.
• Low ESR — 26 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, supporting tighter voltage stability and reduced power loss.
• High Ripple Current — Rated for 1.2 A at 120 Hz and 2.4 A at 100 kHz, enabling effective AC ripple handling in power circuits.
• Long Life & High Temperature Endurance — Specified for 3000 hours at 105°C with defined endurance limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Rated from −55°C to +105°C for reliable operation across harsh thermal conditions.
• Radial Through-Hole Package — Radial, can-style package with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compatibility with lead-free flow soldering conditions.
• Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 rated and listed for automotive applications.
• Regulatory Compliance — Compliant to RoHS directives (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• Automotive power modules — Bulk and decoupling capacitance where low ESR and high ripple-current capability are required at elevated temperatures.
• Control units and modules — Power supply smoothing and transient suppression in modules that must meet AEC-Q200 reliability expectations.
• On-board DC filtering — Local energy storage and ripple filtering in automotive electronic subsystems operating up to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current handling: Supports both low- and high-frequency ripple (1.2 A at 120 Hz; 2.4 A at 100 kHz), reducing stress on upstream regulators.
• Low ESR improves efficiency: 26 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz helps lower I²R losses and heat generation in power stages.
• Designed for elevated-temperature longevity: 3000-hour life at 105°C provides predictable aging characteristics for long-term designs.
• Automotive-grade reliability: AEC-Q200 compliance aligns the component with automotive qualification practices for module designers.
• Through-hole robustness and solder compatibility: Radial can package with lead-free flow soldering condition correspondence for robust assembly processes.

Why Choose PLV1E151MDL1?

PLV1E151MDL1 combines conductive-polymer aluminum construction with low ESR and high ripple-current capability to deliver stable DC filtering and energy storage in thermally demanding environments. Its 3000-hour rating at 105°C and AEC-Q200 compliance make it suited to automotive-grade power electronics where reliability and predictable performance matter.

This part is appropriate for engineers specifying through-hole capacitors for existing automotive systems that require long-term thermal endurance and low-loss filtering. Because the product is scheduled for discontinuation, evaluate current inventory and lifecycle needs before planning long-term deployments.
