RNE1C271MCSASQ

The RNE1C271MCSASQ from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering high capacitance with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) in a radial lead can. It is designed for general purpose electronic applications that demand high ripple current handling and long operational life at elevated temperatures.

This radial-lead, polarized capacitor combines a 270 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with a compact case (L: 1 × D: 0.63 cm) and 2.5 mm lead spacing, providing a compact, robust option for board-level power and general-purpose designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rated voltage with a tolerance of ±20% (–20% ~ 20%).
• Low ESR — 15 mΩ ESR specified at 100 kHz, enabling lower losses and better high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — Supports 350 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.5 A at 300 kHz (high frequency), suitable for applications with significant ripple demands.
• Long Life at Elevated Temperature — Rated load life of 5000 hours at 105°C, providing extended endurance in higher-temperature operating conditions.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range — Specified for –55°C to +105°C operation.
• Radial Lead Package — Radial, can-style package with 2.5 mm lead spacing; corresponds to lead-free flow soldering conditions.
• Compliance — RoHS directive compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).
• Polarized — Designed for polarized circuit placements; observe polarity in assembly.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Suitable for a wide range of general-purpose designs that require high capacitance and low ESR.
• Board-Level Power — Applicable where high ripple current capability and low ESR improve power-handling at the PCB level.
• High-Temperature Designs — Useful in designs that operate across −55°C to +105°C and benefit from a 5000-hour life rating at 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact package: 270 µF in a small radial can (L: 1 × D: 0.63 cm) helps save board area while delivering bulk capacitance.
• Low ESR for improved efficiency: 15 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces resistive losses and supports better thermal performance under ripple conditions.
• Robust ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 350 mA (120 Hz) and 3.5 A (300 kHz) provide measurable headroom for AC stress on power rails.
• Long-term high-temperature reliability: 5000 hours at 105°C endurance supports longevity in thermally demanding installation environments.
• Assembly-friendly radial lead form: 2.5 mm lead spacing and lead-free flow soldering correspondence simplify through-hole assembly processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance aligns with restricted-substance requirements for modern electronic products.
