PLV1H680MDL1

The PLV1H680MDL1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead (can) package designed for long-life, high-voltage applications. It delivers low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability in a compact through-hole form factor.

Targeted at automotive and other high-reliability applications, the part combines a 68 µF capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage, AEC-Q200 compliance, and a 3000-hour endurance at 105°C for robust operation in elevated-temperature environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR of 28 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and high-frequency ripple current capability of 2.6 A at 100 kHz (1.3 A at 120 Hz), enabling effective smoothing and decoupling under dynamic loads.
• Temperature Range & Long Life — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with a guaranteed lifetime of 3000 hours at 105°C.
• Reliability & Standards — AEC-Q200 compliant and RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) compliant for regulated applications.
• Radial Lead Package — Through-hole radial can with 5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (L: 1.3 × D: 1.0 cm) for easy PCB insertion and mechanical stability.
• Lead-Free Soldering Compatibility — Designed for lead-free flow soldering; meets soldering heat resistance conditions (preheat 150–200°C for 60–180 s, peak 265°C for 10 s or less) as specified in the product series documentation.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Bulk decoupling and smoothing for DC–DC converters and power rails where low ESR and high ripple current are required.
• Engine control units (ECUs) and control modules — High-temperature endurance (3000 hours at 105°C) and AEC-Q200 compliance support demanding in-vehicle environments.
• Infotainment and body electronics — Power-supply filtering and transient energy buffering to maintain stable operation under variable loads.

Unique Advantages

• Verified low ESR — 28 mΩ at 100 kHz lowers power loss and improves voltage stability in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple-current capacity — 2.6 A at 100 kHz (1.3 A at 120 Hz) enables handling of significant AC stress on power rails.
• High-temperature, long-life specification — 3000 hours at 105°C supports extended service life in thermal-stressed installations.
• AEC-Q200 and RoHS compliance — Meets industry qualification and environmental standards required for regulated designs.
• Through-hole robustness — Radial lead can with 5 mm lead spacing and compact footprint simplifies prototyping and mechanical mounting in rugged assemblies.
• Lead-free solder process compatibility — Built to withstand lead-free flow soldering profiles as detailed in the series documentation.
