RL80E102MDN1

The RL80E102MDN1 from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can (RL8 series). It delivers 1000 µF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating in a low‑profile φ8×8 mm package with 3.5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for general‑purpose electronic applications, this part provides low ESR and high ripple‑current capability in a compact radial‑lead format, with a rated operating range from -55°C to 105°C and a 2000‑hour life at 105°C.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer construction Solid polymer electrolyte for stable electrical characteristics and reduced ESR compared with traditional wet electrolytic types.
• Low ESR ESR specified at 6 mΩ (20°C / 100 kHz), enabling improved high‑frequency performance and lower loss in power circuits.
• High ripple current capability Rated ripple current of 610 mA at 120 Hz and 6.1 A at 300 kHz (frequency coefficient table supports high‑frequency operation).
• Compact, low‑profile package φ8×8 mm case with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) provides a small footprint for space‑constrained designs.
• Electrical characteristics 1000 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance -20% to +20% and tan δ = 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Reliability and endurance Load life specified as 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage; leakage current 625 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20°C).
• Radial‑lead mounting Through‑hole radial leads, packaged in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming), suitable for conventional assembly methods.
• RoHS compliant Meets RoHS directive requirements as noted in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronics Suitable where a compact, low‑ESR capacitive solution is needed for power conditioning and energy storage in PCB assemblies.
• High‑frequency power circuits High ripple‑current rating and low ESR support applications with significant high‑frequency ripple components up to 300 kHz.
• Space‑constrained designs Low‑profile φ8×8 mm case makes this capacitor appropriate for designs requiring a small footprint and radial‑lead mounting.

Unique Advantages

• Low electrical loss: ESR of 6 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces conduction losses and improves efficiency in switching and high‑frequency circuits.
• High ripple handling: 6.1 A ripple capability at 300 kHz addresses demanding AC ripple conditions without excessive heating.
• Compact form factor: φ8×8 mm size and 3.5 mm lead spacing let designers maintain board density while adding bulk capacitance.
• Robust temperature range: Rated from -55°C to 105°C for use across a wide operating environment where thermal endurance is required.
• Proven endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C provides a defined lifetime metric for thermal and operational planning.
• Radial‑lead convenience: Through‑hole mounting and standard lead spacing simplify prototyping and conventional assembly processes.
