RNE1C101MDS1

The RNE1C101MDS1 is a Nichicon RNE series conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can. It delivers 100 µF at 16 V in a compact φ5×10 mm package with 2 mm lead spacing, designed for general-purpose electronic circuits that need low ESR and high ripple current handling in a small footprint.

Key value propositions include low equivalent series resistance (35 mΩ at 100 kHz), high-frequency ripple capability (2.3 A at 300 kHz), and extended endurance (2000 hours at 105°C), providing reliable filtering and decoupling performance across a wide temperature range (–55°C to +105°C).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance with a 16 V working voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid conductive polymer construction for stable electrical performance and improved ripple handling compared to some traditional electrolytics.
• Low ESR — 35 mΩ ESR specified at 20°C/100 kHz, minimizing voltage drop and heat generation under AC load.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 230 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.3 A at 300 kHz (high frequency), supporting both bulk and high-frequency decoupling tasks.
• Endurance & Temperature Range — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C and specified operating range from –55°C to +105°C for robust thermal performance.
• Compact Radial Package — φ5×10 mm can with 2.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) in a radial-lead format for through-hole mounting in small assemblies.
• Leakage & Loss — Leakage current up to 320 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C) and tan δ of 0.08 at 120 Hz, 20°C for predictable loss characteristics.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk filtering and smoothing in low-voltage DC supplies where 100 µF at 16 V and low ESR improve regulation.
• High-frequency decoupling — Local decoupling for switching regulators and power converters, leveraging the 2.3 A ripple capability at 300 kHz.
• Compact electronic modules — Through-hole radial format (φ5×10 mm) for small form-factor boards requiring robust capacitance in limited space.
• Industrial and embedded equipment — Use in general-purpose circuitry that must tolerate wide ambient temperatures (–55°C to +105°C) and extended thermal stress (2000 h at 105°C).

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling for its size — 2.3 A at 300 kHz with a 35 mΩ ESR gives strong AC performance in a φ5×10 mm package.
• Compact radial-lead form — Small can diameter and 2 mm lead spacing enable dense through-hole layouts and straightforward assembly.
• Thermal endurance — Rated 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures.
• Predictable leakage and loss — Specified leakage current (320 µA) and tan δ (0.08) help designers budget standby losses and thermal budgets.
• RoHS compliant — Meets environmental regulatory requirements for lead-free assemblies.
