PLF0G102MDO1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PLF0G102MDO1 is a 1000 µF, 4 V aluminum polymer capacitor manufactured by Nichicon in the PLF series. This through-hole radial can capacitor is designed for general purpose applications requiring low ESR performance and extended operational life. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and reliability ratings are maintained across alternative manufacturers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the PLF0G102MDO1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Capacitance value: 1000 µF
Voltage rating: 4 V
Type: Aluminum Polymer
Tolerance: ±20%
ESR: 6 mOhm
Lifetime rating: 2000 Hrs @ 105°C
Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
Ripple current capability: 6.64 A @ 100 kHz
Mounting type: Through Hole
Package style: Radial, Can
Lead spacing: 0.197" (5.00 mm)
Diameter: 0.394" (10.00 mm)

The APSC4R0ELL102MJB5S from Chemi-Con meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the PLF0G102MDO1 and APSC4R0ELL102MJB5S are active production parts with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance. The electrical and thermal specifications are identical across both parts. The APSC4R0ELL102MJB5S features a reduced seated height of 0.453" (11.50 mm) compared to 0.512" (13.00 mm) for the PLF0G102MDO1, which may provide a space advantage in height-constrained PCB layouts while maintaining all functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the APSC4R0ELL102MJB5S replace the PLF0G102MDO1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (1000 µF, 4 V, 6 mOhm ESR, 2000 Hrs @ 105°C), operating temperature range, ripple current rating, and through-hole lead spacing. The primary difference is the reduced height of the substitute part.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between these parts?

A: The PLF0G102MDO1 has a maximum seated height of 0.512" (13.00 mm), while the APSC4R0ELL102MJB5S measures 0.453" (11.50 mm). This 0.059" (1.50 mm) reduction may be relevant for PCB assemblies with vertical space constraints, but does not affect electrical performance or reliability.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-frequency ripple current applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 6.64 A ripple current at 100 kHz and maintain identical ESR specifications, making them equivalent for high-frequency filtering and energy storage applications.

Q: Do these parts require different PCB footprints?

A: No. Both parts use identical lead spacing of 0.197" (5.00 mm) and diameter of 0.394" (10.00 mm), allowing direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical regulatory status.
