RL80E102MCN1

The RL80E102MCN1 from Nichicon is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor rated 2.5 V with 1000 µF capacitance. It delivers a low-profile φ8×8 mm package and is designed for general-purpose electronic applications that require low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability.

Key electrical characteristics include an ESR of 6 mΩ (20°C/100 kHz), a high-frequency ripple current capability of 6.1 A (at 300 kHz), and an operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C. The part is RoHS compliant and available in bulk or bag packing.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer chemistry Solid electrolyte construction for stable capacitance and low loss (tan δ ≤ 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ESR specified at 6 mΩ (20°C/100 kHz) to minimize voltage drop and heat under high-frequency currents.
• High ripple-current capability Rated for 610 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 6.1 A at 300 kHz (high frequency) for demanding AC load conditions.
• Compact, low-profile package φ8×8 mm can with radial leads and 3.5 mm lead spacing for space-constrained board layouts.
• Wide temperature and endurance Operates from −55°C to 105°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Capacitance and polarity 1000 µF nominal capacitance with −20% to +20% tolerance; polarized radial-lead mounting.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics Bulk capacitance and low ESR for power rail smoothing and energy storage in general electronic designs.
• Power filter stages High ripple-current rating and low ESR support use in compact filter networks and decoupling near power regulators.
• Compact assemblies Low-profile φ8×8 mm package with radial leads fits space-constrained PCBs where axial or larger cans are unsuitable.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved efficiency: 6 mΩ ESR at 20°C/100 kHz reduces losses and heating under high-frequency operation.
• High-frequency ripple capability: 6.1 A rated ripple at 300 kHz enables reliable performance in fast-switching power environments.
• Small footprint, low profile: φ8×8 mm can and radial-lead format save board area while maintaining substantial capacitance.
• Wide operating temperature: Rated −55°C to 105°C to suit a broad range of ambient conditions and thermal environments.
• Defined endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C provides a measurable lifecycle metric for thermal stress planning.
• RoHS compliant supply: Meets RoHS requirements for regulated manufacturing environments.

Why Choose RL80E102MCN1?

The RL80E102MCN1 is positioned for designs that need substantial capacitance in a very small package while retaining low ESR and strong ripple-current handling. Its conductive polymer construction and specified performance figures make it suitable for engineers who require verifiable electrical behavior—especially in compact power and general-purpose electronics where space and thermal management matter.

This part is appropriate for procurement into boards needing radial-lead mounting, clear endurance data (2000 h at 105°C), and RoHS compliance, offering a predictable component for long-term production and design planning.
