RL80J102MCNASQ

The RL80J102MCNASQ from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a low-profile φ8×8 mm radial-can package. Designed for general-purpose power and decoupling applications, it delivers low ESR and high ripple-current handling in a compact footprint for space-constrained designs.

Key value propositions include ultra-low ESR (9 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz), high-frequency ripple capability (5.7 A at 300 kHz), and a broad operating temperature range of –55°C to 105°C with a 5,000-hour endurance at 105°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and tolerance — 1000 µF (1 mF) nominal capacitance with tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C, offering bulk energy storage for power rails and hold-up functions.
• Low ESR — 9 mΩ ESR measured at 20°C/100 kHz, minimizing losses and improving transient response in high-frequency power circuits.
• High ripple-current capability — Rated ripple current of 570 mA at 120 Hz and 5.7 A at 300 kHz (high frequency), enabling robust filtering in switching regulators and converters.
• Solid conductive polymer construction — Polymer electrolyte for stable electrical characteristics and reduced impedance compared to traditional electrolytics.
• Thermal and lifetime performance — Rated for operation from −55°C to 105°C with endurance of 5000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
• Compact radial package — φ8 × 8 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in radial lead format; supplied in bulk/bag packing for manual or automated assembly.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements.
• Manufacturing readiness — Mass production status with lead-free flow soldering condition correspondence for compatibility with lead-free assembly processes.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies — Acts as output smoothing and decoupling capacitor where high-frequency ripple current handling (5.7 A at 300 kHz) and low ESR reduce board heating and voltage ripple.
• DC–DC converters — Provides local bulk capacitance and fast transient support for point-of-load converters in compact power modules.
• Consumer and industrial electronics — Compact φ8×8 package and wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) make it suitable for embedded electronics requiring reliable bulk energy storage.
• Backup and hold-up circuits — Large capacitance (1000 µF) in a small footprint supports short-term energy storage for microcontroller brown-out protection and retention circuits.

Unique Advantages

• High-frequency performance: 1.00 frequency coefficient at 100 kHz–300 kHz and a 5.7 A ripple rating at 300 kHz deliver effective filtering for modern switching topologies.
• Low dissipation losses: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces power loss and thermal stress in high-current applications.
• Compact, low-profile form: φ8×8 mm can provides 1000 µF capacitance in a small radial package to save PCB area without sacrificing bulk capacitance.
• Robust thermal endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage supports long-term reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Assembly-friendly: Radial lead format with 3.5 mm lead spacing and compatibility with lead-free flow soldering simplifies integration into standard assembly workflows.
