Overview of RHT1C271MDN1 – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 16 V, 270 µF, Radial Lead
The RHT1C271MDN1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, rated 270 µF at 16 V. Designed for general-purpose electronic equipment, it delivers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact φ10 × 12.5 mm package with 5 mm lead spacing.
Engineered for elevated-temperature environments, this part supports operation from −55°C to 125°C and a rated load life of 1000 hours at 125°C, providing stable capacitance and performance where thermal endurance is required.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with ±20% tolerance (−20%~20%).
- Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid electrolyte construction noted for low ESR and high capacitance density compared with conventional electrolytics.
- Low ESR (High-frequency) — ESR specified at 16 mΩ measured at 20°C and 100 kHz, supporting reduced AC impedance in high-frequency circuits.
- High Ripple-current Capability — Specified ripple currents of 152 mA at 120 Hz and 1.52 A at 300 kHz, enabling handling of significant AC ripple across frequency ranges.
- Dissipation Factor — tan δ = 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz), useful for AC loss estimation in design.
- Thermal Endurance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +125°C with a load-life rating of 1000 hours at 125°C.
- Physical & Mounting — Radial lead mounting in a φ10 × 12.5 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance); available in bulk or bag packing.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronic equipment — Suitable where a compact, low-ESR capacitor is required for energy storage and AC filtering in general-purpose circuits.
- High-temperature assemblies — Rated for continuous operation to 125°C and a 1000-hour load life at 125°C, making it appropriate for thermally demanding installations.
- Through-hole / radial-lead designs — φ10×12.5 mm can and 5 mm lead spacing fit compact through-hole boards and prototype assemblies.
Unique Advantages
- Low AC resistance at high frequency: 16 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces impedance in high-frequency applications and improves ripple handling.
- Broad ripple-current support: Rated for 152 mA at 120 Hz and 1.52 A at 300 kHz, enabling use across low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
- High-temperature reliability: −55°C to +125°C operating range and 1000-hour endurance at 125°C for consistent performance in elevated-temperature environments.
- Predictable loss characteristics: tan δ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) provides a quantifiable measure of dissipation for circuit design and thermal budgeting.
- Compact, serviceable form factor: Small φ10×12.5 mm can with standard 5 mm lead spacing supports space-constrained through-hole layouts and manual assembly workflows.
- Regulatory compliance and availability: RoHS compliant and in mass production for dependable supply and integration.
