PLV1V151MDL1

The PLV1V151MDL1 from Nichicon is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor rated at 150 µF and 35 V. It delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple-current capability in a compact radial can package, with an operating temperature range from –55°C to 105°C.

This part is targeted at automotive and high-temperature electronics where long-term endurance and high ripple handling are required. Note: this product is scheduled to be discontinued and is not recommended for new designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with a 35 V rated voltage; capacitance tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR Performance — ESR of 26 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C), enabling improved ripple handling and reduced heat generation.
• High Ripple Current — Capable of 1.35 A at 120 Hz and 2.7 A at 100 kHz, supporting high-frequency power applications.
• Long High‑Temperature Life — Endurance of 3000 hours at 105°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR.
• Reliability Standards — AEC‑Q200 rated and compliant to RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing; lead-free flow soldering condition correspondence.
• Temperature Range — Specified for operation from –55°C to +105°C.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power supply smoothing — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and filtering in vehicle power circuits.
• High-temperature electronics — Designed for sustained operation at elevated temperatures (105°C) with long endurance characteristics.
• AEC‑Q200 systems — For designs that require components meeting AEC‑Q200 requirements, supporting qualification and reliability needs.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current tolerance: Supports 2.7 A at 100 kHz and 1.35 A at 120 Hz, enabling robust performance in high-frequency power environments.
• Low ESR: 26 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces losses and heating under load, improving overall power efficiency.
