PLX1D151MDL1

The PLX1D151MDL1 is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor in a compact can package, rated 150 µF at 20 V. Designed for demanding thermal and ripple environments, it delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long-duration endurance for industrial and automotive applications.

This part combines a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to +125 °C) with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 125 °C and AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable where sustained high-temperature performance and reliability are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 20 V, with ±20% tolerance for power-decoupling and bulk-storage uses.
• High-Temperature Endurance — Qualified for 3000 hours at 125 °C, enabling prolonged operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR of 26 mΩ (100 kHz) and ripple-current ratings of 455 mA (120 Hz) and 910 mA (100 kHz) for improved power-conditioning and reduced heat generation.
• Automotive Qualification — AEC-Q200 rated, supporting use in automotive systems requiring component-level qualification.
• Radial-Lead, Through-Hole Package — Radial can package with 3.5 mm lead spacing, compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions for through-hole assembly.
• Wide Temperature Range — Specified for −55 °C to +125 °C operation, suitable for harsh-environment electronics.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized Device — Polar construction for correct orientation in DC power circuits.

Typical Applications

• Automotive Power Modules — Bulk and decoupling capacitor for control modules and power conditioning where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• ECU and Control Electronics — Energy storage and smoothing in engine control units, powertrain controllers, and other vehicle electronics operating at elevated temperatures.
• Industrial Power Supplies — Input/output filtering and hold-up applications that benefit from low ESR and high ripple-current capability under continuous thermal stress.
• Sensor and Actuator Interfaces — Local decoupling for sensors, actuators, and interface circuits exposed to wide temperature ranges.

Unique Advantages

• Proven High-Temperature Reliability: 3000-hour endurance at 125 °C provides measurable lifetime data for thermal-stress designs.
