RNE1C331MCS1

The RNE1C331MCS1 from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor delivering 330 µF at 16 V in a compact radial can package. It combines high capacitance with low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple-current capability for general-purpose electronic circuits.

Designed for through‑hole assemblies, this radial lead capacitor supports lead‑free flow soldering conditions and is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for a wide range of power decoupling and smoothing roles in compact designs.

Key Features

• Core Type Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte for stable capacitance and low-loss performance.
• Capacitance & Voltage 330 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance.
• Low ESR 15 mΩ ESR measured at 100 kHz, enabling lower loss and improved transient response.
• High Ripple Current Rated for 350 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.5 A at 300 kHz (high frequency), supporting demanding ripple conditions.
• Thermal & Lifetime Performance Operating temperature range of –55°C to +105°C with a specified load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting Radial lead can with 2.5 mm lead spacing and compact dimensions (approx. φ6.3×10 mm), suitable for through‑hole mounting and compact board layouts.
• Assembly Compatibility Corresponds to lead‑free flow soldering conditions for modern manufacturing processes.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Filtering Bulk smoothing and energy storage in general‑purpose circuits using 330 µF capacitance and low ESR for effective voltage stabilization.
• High‑Frequency Decoupling Decoupling in circuits with significant high‑frequency ripple, leveraging a 3.5 A ripple rating at 300 kHz and low ESR at 100 kHz.
• Compact Through‑Hole Designs Use in space‑constrained board layouts where a radial can and 2.5 mm lead spacing simplify placement and assembly.

Unique Advantages

• Low‑Loss Power Handling: 15 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces dissipation and improves converter/transient performance.
• High Ripple Capability: 350 mA (120 Hz) and 3.5 A (300 kHz) ripple ratings allow reliable operation under heavy AC stress.
• High Capacitance in a Small Can: 330 µF in a φ6.3×10 mm package provides substantial energy density for compact designs.
• Wide Operating Range: −55°C to +105°C operation and a 2000 h life at 105°C support demanding thermal environments.
• Manufacturing Friendly: Radial leads with 2.5 mm spacing and lead‑free flow soldering compatibility streamline through‑hole assembly processes.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS conformity reduces compliance overhead for global product deployment.
