PLV1J220MCL1

The PLV1J220MCL1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can from Nichicon's PLV series. This part provides 22 µF capacitance at a 63 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability, targeted for applications that require compact, high-performance power filtering.

Key endurance and reliability characteristics include a 3000-hour life at 105°C, AEC‑Q200 compliance, and RoHS conformity. Note: this product is scheduled for discontinuation and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 63 V and ±20% tolerance, suitable for mid-voltage power-decoupling roles.
• Low ESR — 35 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, enabling efficient energy transfer and reduced loss in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 900 mA at 120 Hz and 1.8 A at 100 kHz, supporting heavy AC stress in power conversion and filtering.
• Long Life Assurance — Endurance specified as 3000 hours at 105°C with defined limits for capacitance, tan δ and ESR after test.
• Wide Temperature Range — Operates from –55°C to +105°C, maintaining impedance stability across temperature extremes.
• Radial Lead Package — Compact radial can construction with dimensions L: 9 × D: 8 mm and 3.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting.
• Assembly & Soldering Compatibility — Designed for lead-free flow soldering conditions and specified resistance to soldering heat per the series datasheet.
• Compliance & Qualification — AEC‑Q200 compliant and RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) conformant for regulated applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power rails — Local decoupling and smoothing in ECUs and power modules where low ESR and high ripple handling reduce voltage ripple and heat.
• DC-DC converters — Output and input filtering for compact converters that require high ripple-current capability at elevated temperatures.
• In-vehicle electronics — Power conditioning for infotainment and control systems benefiting from the capacitor's endurance at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss filtering: 35 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes dissipation and improves efficiency in high-frequency decoupling.
• Handles heavy ripple: Specified ripple currents (900 mA @ 120 Hz, 1.8 A @ 100 kHz) allow reliable operation under high AC stress.
• Designed for high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 105°C supports long-term stability in thermally demanding environments.
• Compact radial footprint: φ8 × 9 mm can and 3.5 mm lead spacing save board space while providing through-hole robustness.
• Manufacturing-ready: Compatibility with lead-free flow soldering simplifies assembly for lead-free production lines.
• Industry compliance: AEC‑Q200 and RoHS conformity support regulated design and reliability requirements.
