PLX1E181MDL1

The PLX1E181MDL1 is a radial lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor with 180 µF capacitance and a 25 V rated voltage. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with long-term high-temperature endurance for demanding power applications.

Designed and qualified for high-reliability environments, this part addresses needs for robust power filtering and decoupling where sustained performance at elevated temperatures is required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 180 µF capacitance with a 25 V rated voltage and a tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic design for low impedance and stable performance.
• Low ESR — ESR of 25 mΩ measured at 20°C and 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency operation.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current 540 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple capability of 1.08 A at 100 kHz for power smoothing and decoupling.
• Wide Temperature Range & Long Life — Rated for operation from -55°C to +125°C with endurance of 3000 hours at 125°C.
• Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 900 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Radial Lead Package — Compact radial can form factor (φ10 × 13 mm) with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and bulk/bag packing options.
• Quality & Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance, suited for reliability-focused applications.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Filtering and decoupling in automotive modules where AEC-Q200 qualification and high-temperature endurance are required.
• Power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and high-frequency decoupling where low ESR and high ripple capability improve regulator stability and transient response.
• Embedded systems in harsh environments — Decoupling and energy-storage roles in systems operating across -55°C to +125°C.

Unique Advantages

• High-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C provides long-term stability for designs exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• Superior ripple handling: Combined low ESR (25 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current ratings (540 mA at 120 Hz, 1.08 A at 100 kHz) reduce heating and extend system reliability.
• Compact radial form factor: φ10 × 13 mm can size with 5 mm lead spacing for straightforward through-hole implementation and mechanical retention.
• AEC-Q200 qualified: Documented qualification for demanding reliability use-cases, supporting automotive-grade requirements.
• Conductive polymer chemistry: Solid polymer electrolyte for low impedance and stable electrical characteristics over temperature and time.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for global regulatory alignment.
