RDS1C820MCNAHFGS

The RDS1C820MCNAHFGS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact surface-mount (SMD) can package. It provides 82 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for demanding power applications.

Designed for high-temperature operation and long life, this Nichicon RDS series part delivers 3000 hours at 125°C, RoHS compliance, and compatibility with lead-free reflow processes — making it suitable for compact power delivery and filtering roles in industrial and electronic equipment.

Key Features

• Electrical Capacity — 82 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V working voltage suitable for many low-voltage power rails.
• Low Loss / Frequency Performance — tanδ (DF) specified at 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable AC characteristics.
• Low ESR — 23 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency decoupling.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple currents of 180 mA at 120 Hz and 1.8 A at 300 kHz to handle both low- and high-frequency switching environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current up to 700 µA (after 2 minutes at rated voltage, 20°C condition).
• Thermal Endurance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +125°C with a rated load life of 3000 hours at 125°C.
• SMD Package & Assembly — Compact φ8 × 6.7 mm can (HF size) for space-constrained boards; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing and compatible with lead-free reflow (260°C peak correspondence).
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power Conversion and Regulation — smoothing and decoupling for DC‑DC converters and power modules where low ESR and high ripple current improve regulator stability and efficiency.
• Switching Power Supplies — bulk and output filtering in compact switch-mode supplies operating at high switching frequencies up to the 100–300 kHz range.
• Embedded and Industrial Electronics — energy storage and transient suppression in systems that require wide operating temperatures and long high-temperature life.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current capability: 1.8 A at 300 kHz reduces heating in high-frequency switching circuits and supports aggressive converter designs.
• Low ESR for efficient power delivery: 23 mΩ at 100 kHz contributes to lower losses and improved transient response.
• Long high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C provides design margin for sustained thermal stress in demanding environments.
• Compact SMD can package: φ8 × 6.7 mm footprint minimizes board area while offering high capacitance density.
• Reflow and supply-chain ready: Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing and rated for lead-free reflow (260°C peak correspondence), supporting automated assembly.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity simplifies regulatory tracking and material selection.
