RNL1C102MDSASQ

The RNL1C102MDSASQ is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can (φ8 × 20 mm) offering 1000 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. Designed for general-purpose electronic applications, it combines high capacitance density with low equivalent series resistance and high ripple-current capability.

This radial-lead device is optimized for demanding power-conditioning roles where long endurance and wide temperature range matter: it is RoHS-compliant, available in bulk or bag packing, and produced for mass production availability.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer construction Solid polymer electrolyte for stable electrical performance and reduced ESR compared to traditional electrolytes.
• High capacitance 1000 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR 8 mΩ ESR measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, enabling improved power delivery and reduced heat under AC stress.
• High ripple-current handling Rated ripple current: 750 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 7.5 A at 300 kHz (high frequency), supporting heavy AC loading and fast switching environments.
• Robust temperature and life performance Operating range −55°C to +105°C with endurance rated to 5000 hours at 105°C.
• Radial-lead package φ8 × 20 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and easy handling in assembly.
• Leakage and dissipation Leakage current specified at 1600 µA and tanδ (loss tangent) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Compliance and availability RoHS-compliant and listed as mass production status; packaging options include bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing.

Typical Applications

• Power supply decoupling Bulk capacitance and low ESR make it suitable for smoothing and stabilizing DC rails in general-purpose power supplies.
• DC–DC converter outputs High high-frequency ripple-current rating (up to 7.5 A at 300 kHz) supports output filtering in switching regulators.
• Industrial and commercial electronics Wide operating range (−55°C to +105°C) and long endurance (5000 h at 105°C) suit equipment deployed in demanding ambient conditions.

Unique Advantages

• High energy storage in a compact can: 1000 µF in a φ8 × 20 mm package reduces board area for bulk capacitance requirements.
• Improved thermal and electrical stability: Low ESR (8 mΩ) and specified tanδ of 0.12 help minimize losses and temperature rise under ripple load.
• Designed for high-frequency switching environments: 7.5 A ripple current at 300 kHz supports modern switching power topologies.
• Long operating life at elevated temperature: 5000 hours at 105°C provides measurable endurance for continuous high-temperature use.
• Through-hole robustness: Radial lead form and standardized lead spacing (3.5 mm) simplify assembly and mechanical retention on PCBs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports restricted substance requirements.
