RL80J471MDN1

The RL80J471MDN1 is a conductive polymer solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon’s RL8 series, offered in a low-profile radial-lead package (φ8×8 mm). It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 6.3 V rating with very low ESR and high ripple-current capability for compact, high-performance power circuits.

Designed for general-purpose electronics, this FPCAP-style capacitor combines low loss (tanδ 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz), wide temperature operation (−55°C to 105°C) and a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C for reliable operation in demanding power-conditioning roles.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer solid electrolyte — Provides low ESR and stable performance suitable for high ripple environments.
• Capacitance and voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance with a 6.3 V rating and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Ultra-low ESR — ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz supports efficient high-frequency operation and reduced losses.
• High ripple-current capability — Rated ripple currents of 570 mA at 120 Hz and 5.7 A at 300 kHz enable robust filtering and energy buffering.
• Low-profile radial package — Compact φ8×8 mm can with radial leads, lead spacing 3.5 mm (±0.5 mm), ideal where board height is constrained.
• Thermal and life performance — Operating temperature range −55°C to 105°C with a load life rated at 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Electrical characteristics — tanδ 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current 592 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C), supporting predictable behavior in designs.
• Packaging options — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing for flexible procurement and assembly flows.
• RoHS compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as provided in product data.

Typical Applications

• Compact power supplies — Output filtering and bulk energy storage where low ESR and high ripple current reduce voltage ripple in confined board spaces.
• DC–DC converters — Input/output decoupling on high-frequency converters benefiting from 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and high-frequency ripple capability.
• Power-conditioning circuits — Local energy buffering and smoothing in consumer and industrial electronics operating across −55°C to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• Reduced ripple loss: Low ESR (8 mΩ at 100 kHz) minimizes heating and power loss under high-frequency ripple conditions.
• High-frequency performance: Rated ripple current of 5.7 A at 300 kHz supports demanding switching applications and high-speed converters.
• Space-efficient form factor: φ8×8 mm low-profile can and radial leads provide a small footprint for dense PCB layouts.
• Wide temperature tolerance: Operation from −55°C to 105°C ensures consistent behavior across diverse environmental conditions.
• Predictable lifecycle: 2000-hour endurance at 105°C gives a defined reliability metric for thermal stress planning and component selection.
• Compliance-ready: RoHS compliance supports environmentally constrained designs and supply requirements.
