RNL1C102MDS4

The RNL1C102MDS4 is a conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can delivering 1000 µF at 16 V. It combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a compact φ10×16 mm package and 5 mm lead spacing for general-purpose power applications.

Designed for systems requiring high capacitance, low loss and robust thermal endurance, this part supports elevated operating conditions with a rated temperature range of -55 °C to 105 °C and a 2000-hour load life at 105 °C.

Key Features

• Capacitance & tolerance: 1000 µF with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
• Rated voltage: 16 V (surge 18.4 V).
• Conductive polymer dielectric: Solid electrolyte construction for stable electrical performance and low equivalent series resistance.
• Low ESR: 8 mΩ measured at 20 °C / 100 kHz, minimizing high-frequency losses.
• High ripple current capability: 770 mA at 120 Hz and 7.7 A at 300 kHz (frequency coefficient applies), enabling effective filtering under AC ripple stress.
• Tangent of loss angle (tan δ): 0.12 at 20 °C, 120 Hz, indicating low dielectric loss.
• Leakage current: 1600 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20 °C under rated voltage).
• Thermal and endurance rating: –55 °C to 105 °C operating range with a rated life of 2000 hours at 105 °C.
• Package & mounting: Radial lead can, φ10×16 mm case, 5.0 mm lead spacing; available in Bulk (no terminal forming) or Bag packing.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power supply bulk smoothing: High capacitance and low ESR make it suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing in power rails.
• DC–DC converter output filtering: 8 mΩ ESR and 7.7 A high-frequency ripple capability support output decoupling in compact converters.
• Industrial control electronics: Wide temperature range (–55 °C to 105 °C) and 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C support demanding thermal environments.
• General-purpose power decoupling: Polar radial-lead format and robust electrical characteristics suit a variety of board-level power conditioning tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss high-frequency performance: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tan δ of 0.12 reduce dissipation in high-frequency filtering applications.
• High ripple-current handling: Rated for 7.7 A at 300 kHz (frequency-dependent), enabling tighter voltage regulation under dynamic load.
• Compact high-capacitance package: 1000 µF in a φ10×16 mm can provides significant energy density for board-level power designs.
• Wide operating temperature and proven endurance: –55 °C to 105 °C range and 2000-hour life at 105 °C for reliable performance in thermally stressed systems.
• Radial lead form factor and packaging options: 5 mm lead spacing with Bulk or Bag packing simplifies assembly and inventory choices.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant construction for global electronics manufacturing requirements.
