PLV2A6R8MCL1

The PLV2A6R8MCL1 is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's PLV series, specified at 6.8 µF and 100 V. Engineered for high-voltage, high-ripple environments, it combines low ESR and a compact radial can package for board-level power smoothing and decoupling.

With a rated operating range of −55°C to +105°C and a guaranteed life of 3000 hours at 105°C, this part targets demanding applications that require endurance at elevated temperature and frequency performance up to 100 kHz. The component is AEC-Q200 and RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Core Dielectric Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte construction for stable performance and low impedance in a compact package.
• Electrical Performance 6.8 µF capacitance at a 100 V rating with polarity; low ESR of 45 mΩ measured at 100 kHz and high ripple capability (1.6 A at 100 kHz, 800 mA at 120 Hz).
• Temperature & Endurance Rated for −55°C to +105°C operation and specified for 3000 hours of life at 105°C, with endurance criteria for capacitance change, tan δ and ESR.
• Package & Mounting Radial lead, can-style package (φ8 × 9 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing; compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions per the product specification.
• Reliability & Compliance AEC-Q200 compliant and RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) compliant to support regulated design requirements.
• Performance Stability Specified impedance stability across temperature (Z(+105°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 1.25 at 100 kHz and Z(−55°C)/Z(+20°C) ≤ 1.25), and defined limits for ESR and leakage after endurance and damp-heat testing.

Typical Applications

• Automotive electronics — Suited for automotive power systems and subsystems where AEC-Q200 qualification, 105°C endurance, and high ripple tolerance are required.
• High-voltage board-level power decoupling — Provides low-ESR smoothing on 100 V rails and supports high-frequency ripple currents up to 100 kHz.
• Harsh-environment power modules — Compact radial-can package with long-life assurance for systems exposed to elevated temperatures and humidity.

Unique Advantages

• High-voltage capability: 100 V rated voltage enables use on higher-voltage rails without series stacking.
• Low ESR and high ripple handling: 45 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 1.6 A ripple at 100 kHz reduce heat generation and improve power-stage stability.
• Long life at elevated temperature: 3000 hours at 105°C provides predictable endurance for high-temperature designs.
• AEC-Q200 and RoHS compliance: Meets automotive-grade qualification and environmental regulation requirements for regulated markets.
• Compact radial form factor: φ8 × 9 mm can and 3.5 mm lead spacing deliver a space-efficient solution for through-hole mounting and hand or wave/flow solder processes.
