RL80E561MCN1

The RL80E561MCN1 from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in the RL8 series, offered in a low-profile radial lead can (φ8×8 mm). It delivers 560 µF at 2.5 V with ultra-low ESR and high ripple-current capability, making it suitable for general-purpose electronics where compact size, high-frequency performance and thermal endurance are required.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance 560 µF capacitance at 2.5 V with ±20% tolerance and tanδ = 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz), providing predictable impedance characteristics for filtering and decoupling.
• Ultra-Low ESR ESR of 6 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting efficient energy transfer and reduced dissipation in high-frequency applications.
• High Ripple-Current Capability Rated ripple currents of 610 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 6.1 A at high frequency (specified at 300 kHz), enabling robust handling of AC stress across frequency ranges.
• Thermal and Lifetime Performance Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a rated lifetime of 2000 hours at 105°C, designed for sustained operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Compact, Low-Profile Package φ8×8 mm can with radial leads and 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), providing a small footprint for space-constrained board layouts.
• Leakage and Polarization Specified leakage current of 500 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C) and polarized construction for correct electrolytic capacitor use.
• Compliance and Packaging RoHS compliant; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing. Product status: mass production.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Suitable where a compact, low-profile electrolytic capacitor with low ESR and high ripple tolerance is required for smoothing and energy storage.
• High-Frequency Power Circuits — The low ESR (6 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple-current rating (6.1 A at high frequency) support applications that place dynamic AC stress on capacitors.
• Thermally Demanding Assemblies — Rated for operation from −55°C to +105°C with 2000 h endurance at 105°C for reliable performance under elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for Efficient Performance: 6 mΩ ESR at 20°C/100 kHz reduces I²R losses and improves high-frequency response.
• High Ripple Handling: 6.1 A high-frequency ripple rating and 610 mA low-frequency rating allow the capacitor to absorb significant AC stress across frequencies.
• Space-Saving, Low Profile: φ8×8 mm package with radial leads delivers a small footprint for compact PCB designs without sacrificing capacitance.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: −55°C to +105°C supports use across a broad set of environmental conditions.
• Proven Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C demonstrates sustained reliability under thermal load.
• RoHS Compliant and Readily Available: Environmentally compliant and in mass production with bulk or bag packing options for flexible procurement.
