RL80E152MCN1

The RL80E152MCN1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a low-profile radial lead can (φ8×8 mm), offering 1500 µF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating. Engineered for general-purpose applications requiring high ripple handling and low equivalent series resistance, this part delivers compact energy storage with documented endurance at elevated temperature.

Key value comes from its ultra low ESR (7 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz) and high ripple capability (6.1 A at 300 kHz), combined with a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 2.5 V and tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR — 7 mΩ ESR measured at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting fast transient response and reduced power loss in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current up to 610 mA at 120 Hz and 6.1 A at 300 kHz, enabling robust performance under AC stress and switching loads.
• Loss Characteristics — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable dissipation behavior.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range from -55°C to 105°C with a load life specified at 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can (φ8×8 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and supplied in bulk bag packing; suitable for compact, through-hole assemblies.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant per the product data.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Use as a 1500 µF, 2.5 V filter or decoupling capacitor where low ESR and high ripple capability help stabilize supply rails in compact circuits.
• High-frequency switching circuits — Supports high ripple currents (6.1 A at 300 kHz) for switching regulator output filtering and fast transient suppression.
• Compact power modules — Low-profile φ8×8 mm package and radial-lead mounting fit space-constrained board layouts that require robust energy storage.

Unique Advantages

• Ultra low ESR for reduced losses: 7 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz lowers I²R dissipation and improves efficiency in high-frequency applications.
• High ripple handling: 6.1 A rated ripple current at 300 kHz lets designers accommodate aggressive switching profiles without oversized components.
• Compact, low-profile form factor: φ8×8 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing provides a small footprint for dense PCB layouts.
• Documented endurance at elevated temperature: 2000 hours at 105°C offers a defined reliability baseline for thermal-stressed designs.
• Predictable loss and leakage behavior: tan δ of 0.12 and specified leakage current support thermal and power budgeting during design validation.
• RoHS compliant packaging: Enables deployment in products that require RoHS conformity.

Why Choose RL80E152MCN1?
