Overview of PLX1H220MCL1 – 22 µF, 50 V Radial Lead Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor
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.
Why Choose PLX1H220MCL1?
