Overview of PLV1E271MDL1 – 270 µF, 25 V Radial Conductive-Polymer Aluminum Capacitor
The PLV1E271MDL1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, engineered for long-life, high-ripple power applications. With a 270 µF capacitance at 25 V and low ESR construction, it is optimized for demanding automotive and industrial power-filtering and decoupling tasks that require stable performance across a wide temperature range.
This part combines long endurance at elevated temperature with lead-free flow soldering compatibility and industry-grade qualification to support robust module and board-level designs.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 25 V with ±20% tolerance.
- Low ESR — Equivalent Series Resistance of 25 mOhm measured at 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency decoupling.
- High Ripple Current — Supports 2.8 A at 100 kHz and 1.4 A at 120 Hz for effective filtering in switched-power circuits.
- Long Life Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 105°C, with defined end-of-test limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR.
- Temperature Range — Rated operation from −55°C to +105°C to cover wide environmental conditions.
- Automotive-Grade Qualification — AEC-Q200 compliant and specified for automotive applications.
- Radial Lead Package — Through-hole, radial can with 5 mm lead spacing; compact dimension L: 1.3 cm × D: 1.0 cm for board-level power modules.
- Lead-Free Flow Soldering Compatible — Designed to withstand lead-free flow soldering conditions (preheat and peak-temperature profile specified in product datasheet).
- Regulatory Compliance — RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
Typical Applications
- Automotive Power Filtering — Bulk and local decoupling in vehicle control modules where high ripple and temperature endurance are required.
- DC–DC Converter Output Capacitor — Low ESR and high ripple capability help stabilize converter outputs and reduce voltage ripple.
- Industrial Power Electronics — Board- and module-level smoothing and energy storage in industrial controllers and power management assemblies.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents at both 100 kHz and 120 Hz support modern switching power supplies and reduce thermal stress on the capacitor.
- Stable high-temperature performance: 3000 hours rated life at 105°C provides predictable end-of-life characteristics for long-term designs.
- Low ESR for improved efficiency: 25 mOhm ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and helps maintain voltage stability under dynamic load.
- Automotive-capable qualification: AEC-Q200 compliance supports use in vehicle electronics and systems requiring recognized component-level testing.
- Through-hole robustness: Radial lead can package with defined lead spacing simplifies prototyping and replacement in constrained layouts.
- RoHS and lead-free solder compatibility: Facilitates assembly to modern environmental and manufacturing requirements.
