RNE1C471MCSBSQ

The RNE1C471MCSBSQ is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-leaded can from Nichicon’s RNE series. It delivers 470 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ6.3 × 10 mm package with 2.5 mm lead spacing, targeting general-purpose electronic designs that demand high capacitance in a small footprint.

Designed for applications requiring low ESR and strong ripple-handling capability, this capacitor offers solid-electrolyte performance, wide operating temperature range of −55 °C to 105 °C, and a rated life of 5000 hours at 105 °C.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer solid electrolyte  Provides stable capacitance with properties of solid electrolytes for reliable performance in compact power circuits.
• Capacitance & tolerance  470 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C) for predictable energy storage.
• Low ESR  ESR specified at 15 mΩ (20 °C / 100 kHz) to reduce power loss and support efficient high-frequency operation.
• High ripple capability  Rated ripple current of 350 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.5 A at 300 kHz (high frequency) for robust handling of AC components in power rails.
• Frequency-loss characteristic  tan δ ≤ 0.08 at 20 °C, 120 Hz, supporting low dissipation in filtering and decoupling applications.
• Wide temperature and endurance  Operates from −55 °C to 105 °C with a load life of 5000 hours at 105 °C.
• Compact radial package  φ6.3 × 10 mm radial can with 2.5 mm lead spacing; supplied in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming) for through-hole assembly.
• Polarized  Designed as a polarized electrolytic capacitor for DC circuits.
• RoHS compliant  Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Power supply smoothing  Bulk and output smoothing for compact DC power supplies where 470 µF and low ESR help reduce ripple and voltage variation.
• DC-DC converter output filters  Supports high-frequency switching environments—15 mΩ ESR and 3.5 A ripple handling at 300 kHz make it suitable for converter outputs.
• Decoupling in compact electronics  Small φ6.3 × 10 mm can provides significant capacitance in space-constrained consumer or industrial boards for decoupling and transient suppression.
• Industrial control electronics  Wide −55 °C to 105 °C operating range and 5000-hour endurance at 105 °C suit prolonged operation in factory and control-system environments.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance in a small can  3.5 A ripple capability at high frequency combined with a φ6.3 × 10 mm case provides exceptional power handling per volume.
• Low dissipation for efficient operation  15 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tan δ of 0.08 at 120 Hz reduce power loss and heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
• Robust thermal and lifetime profile  Rated for −55 °C to 105 °C with 5000 hours life at 105 °C for longevity under elevated-temperature use.
• Design-friendly radial package  Through-hole radial leads with 2.5 mm spacing simplify mounting in legacy and mixed-technology assemblies and are available in bulk or bag packing.
• Predictable leakage and tolerance  Leakage current and ±20% capacitance tolerance are specified for reliable selection and margining in power designs.
