PLX1C151MCL1

The PLX1C151MCL1 is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for high-reliability power applications. It combines low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple-current capability with extended high-temperature endurance.

Targeted for demanding embedded and automotive electronics, this component delivers stable decoupling and smoothing performance across a wide temperature range, backed by AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF rated at 16 V with ±20% tolerance, polarized for DC filtering and energy-storage applications.
• Low ESR — 26 mΩ ESR specified at 100 kHz, enabling improved transient response and lower power loss in power rails.
• High Ripple-Current Handling — 405 mA at 120 Hz and 810 mA at 100 kHz for robust performance under AC and switching loads.
• Long-Life High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 125°C with defined endurance criteria for capacitance, tan δ and ESR.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −55°C to +125°C to support harsh-environment electronics.
• Radial Lead Package — Compact radial can (L: 9 × D: 8 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting and reliable soldering; compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions.
• Industry Qualification & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS compliant for use in regulated applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Electronics — Local decoupling and smoothing on power rails for electronic control modules where high ripple current and temperature endurance are required.
• DC–DC Converter Output Filtering — Low ESR and high ripple capability support stable output filtering for switching regulators.
• On-Board Power Modules — Energy-storage and bulk filtering in compact through-hole designs that need dependable high-temperature performance.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss operation: 26 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces dissipation and improves regulator stability under dynamic loads.
• High ripple tolerance: Specified ripple currents (405 mA at 120 Hz, 810 mA at 100 kHz) allow direct placement on switching outputs and noisy supply rails.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C with controlled end-of-test criteria ensures predictable performance in hot environments.
• Automotive-grade qualification: AEC-Q200 status supports use in automotive electronics designs requiring supplier qualification.
• Compact radial form factor: Small L:9 × D:8 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing simplifies board layout for through-hole assemblies.
• RoHS and lead-free solder compatibility: Conforms to RoHS (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) and supports lead-free flow soldering conditions for modern assembly processes.
