PLX1H220MCL1

The PLX1H220MCL1 is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact φ8 × 9 mm can. It delivers 22 µF capacitance at 50 V with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and rated ripple-current capability for demanding power applications.

Designed and qualified to AEC-Q200 and compliant with RoHS, this part targets automotive and other high-reliability markets that require low impedance, high ripple-current handling and long life at elevated temperature.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 22 µF nominal capacitance with a 50 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance.
• Low Impedance — ESR of 35 mΩ measured at 20°C, 100 kHz, supporting low-impedance power rails.
• High Ripple Current — 350 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 700 mA at 100 kHz (high frequency) for robust AC loading.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature — Endurance rated for 3000 hours at 125°C with specified limits on capacitance, tan δ and ESR changes.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — −55°C to +125°C for use across extreme environments.
• Compact Radial Lead Package — φ8 × 9 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole assemblies; available in bulk or bag packing.
• Leakage and Loss — Leakage current specified at 220 µA and tan δ of 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Quality and Compliance — AEC-Q200 qualified and RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• Automotive power electronics — Local decoupling and output filtering on 12 V/48 V rails where AEC-Q200 qualification and high ripple capability are required.
• DC–DC converters — Output filter capacitors benefiting from low ESR (35 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high-frequency ripple-current rating.
• Power-supply smoothing — Bulk or secondary-side smoothing in compact through-hole assemblies that need long-life performance at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved dynamic response: 35 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and heat generation on power rails.
• High ripple-current tolerance: 700 mA at 100 kHz and 350 mA at 120 Hz support heavy AC loading and switching environments.
• Long high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C maintains capacitance, tan δ and ESR within specified limits for reliable lifetime performance.
• Broad temperature operation: −55°C to +125°C enables use across harsh and wide-range environments.
• AEC-Q200 qualification and RoHS compliance: Supports designs that require industry-recognized component qualification and environmental compliance.
• Compact radial-lead form factor: φ8 × 9 mm can and 3.5 mm lead spacing simplify placement in space-constrained through-hole layouts.
