RL80J102MDN1

The RL80J102MDN1 from Nichicon is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in the RL8 series. It delivers 1000 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating with ultra-low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a low-profile φ8 package.

Designed for general-purpose low-voltage power circuits, this capacitor targets compact designs that require high ripple handling, low impedance at high frequency, and reliable operation across a wide temperature range from −55°C to +105°C.

Key Features

• High Capacitance, Low Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance at a 6.3 V rated voltage for bulk energy storage in compact, low-voltage systems.
• Ultra-Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR of 9 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz and rated ripple current up to 5.7 A at 300 kHz (5.7 A high-frequency ripple, 570 mA at 120 Hz) to minimize losses and temperature rise in power stages.
• Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid conductive polymer construction for stable electrical characteristics and improved high-frequency performance.
• Low-Profile, Space-Saving Package — Compact φ8×8 mm can with 8 mm height and 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), suitable for dense PCB layouts.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Specified for −55°C to +105°C operation to support demanding ambient conditions.
• Reliability / Endurance — Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105°C to support designs requiring sustained elevated-temperature performance.
• Polarized Radial Lead — Radial lead (can) package, polarized construction for through-hole mounting and ease of handling in assembly; available in bulk/bag packing.
• RoHS Compliant & Production Ready — RoHS status compliant and listed as mass production in the RL8 series.

Typical Applications

• DC-DC converter output filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and low impedance at high frequency to stabilize outputs in compact power modules.
• Power supply decoupling — High ripple-current rating and low ESR help reduce voltage ripple and losses in low-voltage power rails.
• Local energy storage in compact assemblies — 1000 µF capacitance in a φ8×8 mm can supports board-level bulk storage where space is limited.
• High-frequency smoothing — Low ESR at 100 kHz and rated high-frequency ripple capability suit applications with switching components operating in the 100 kHz–300 kHz range.

Unique Advantages

• Low thermal and conduction losses: 9 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I2R losses and improves efficiency in high-current, high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple handling in a small footprint: 5.7 A rated ripple current at 300 kHz in an φ8×8 mm package enables high-performance filtering without large board area.
• Durable under elevated temperature: 2000-hour endurance rating at 105°C provides predictable lifetime behavior in thermally demanding environments.
• Compact, assembly-friendly form factor: Radial-lead can with 3.5 mm lead spacing simplifies through-hole mounting while preserving board real estate.
• Material and regulatory readiness: Conductive polymer construction with RoHS compliance supports modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.
• Production availability: Mass-production status ensures consistent supply for volume designs.

Why Choose RL80J102MDN1?

The RL80J102MDN1 is positioned for designs that need substantial capacitance and exceptionally low impedance in a compact radial-lead package. Its combination of 1000 µF capacitance, 6.3 V rating, ultra-low ESR (9 mΩ at 100 kHz), and high ripple-current capability makes it well suited to tight-layout, low-voltage power systems where thermal and high-frequency performance matter.

Engineers specifying this part can expect predictable endurance at elevated temperature (2000 hours at 105°C), RoHS compliance, and production availability from Nichicon’s RL8 series—delivering a balance of performance, integration, and reliability for general-purpose power applications.
