• Low ESR ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, enabling efficient high‑frequency performance.
• High Ripple‑Current Capability Rated low‑frequency ripple current 770 mA at 120 Hz and high‑frequency ripple current 7.7 A at 300 kHz, supporting demanding AC/ripple conditions.
• Electrical Losses tanδ = 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current Specified leakage current 1,600 µA after 2 minutes at 20°C.
• Temperature & Endurance Operating range −55°C to +105°C and rated life of 5,000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
• Package & Mounting Radial lead can, case φ10×16 mm with 5.0 mm lead spacing (lead spacing tolerance ±0.5 mm); available in bulk or bag packing.
• Regulatory RoHS compliant and available in mass production.

Typical Applications

• General‑purpose electronic circuits — Where a high‑capacitance, low‑ESR radial capacitor is required for energy storage and decoupling.
• High‑ripple conditions — Circuits that require robust ripple handling up to 7.7 A at high frequency benefit from the RNL1C102MDSBSQ’s ripple current rating and low ESR.
• Wide temperature environments — Systems operating across −55°C to +105°C that require long endurance (5,000 h at 105°C) for steady performance over time.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for improved efficiency: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and supports effective high‑frequency performance.
• High ripple capability: 7.7 A high‑frequency ripple current rating minimizes heating and extends service life in ripple‑heavy circuits.
• High capacitance in a compact can: 1,000 µF in a φ10×16 mm radial package provides substantial energy storage with small board area impact.
• Proven endurance at elevated temperature: 5,000‑hour life at 105°C supports long‑term reliability in thermally demanding applications.
• Clear specification margins: Tight, verifiable electrical parameters (tanδ, leakage current, ESR) that simplify verification and thermal design.
• Production readiness and compliance: RoHS compliance and mass‑production status enable predictable supply for volume designs.
