Overview of RNL1C122MDS4 – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, Radial Lead
The RNL1C122MDS4 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers high capacitance (1.2 mF) and low ESR together with high ripple current capability in a compact radial package.
Engineered for reliability across a wide temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) and offered with load-life ratings of 2000 / 5000 hours at 105°C, this part is suitable where stable bulk capacitance, low losses and long-term thermal endurance are required. It is RoHS compliant and compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1.2 mF rated capacitance at 16 V, with capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Low ESR — ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 100 kHz, supporting improved efficiency and reduced heat generation in high-frequency applications.
- High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 770 mA at 120 Hz and 7.7 A at 300 kHz, enabling handling of substantial AC ripple and switching currents.
- Thermal & Endurance — Operating temperature range from −55°C to +105°C with specified load life of 2000 / 5000 hours at 105°C for long-term operation under elevated temperature stress.
- Radial Lead Package — Radial, can-style package with 5 mm lead spacing for through-hole mounting and reliable mechanical attachment.
- Polarized — Polar capacitor type suited for DC circuits requiring polarity-aware bulk capacitance.
- Regulatory & Assembly — RoHS compliant and compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions for modern manufacturing and regulatory requirements.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronics — Bulk energy storage and decoupling where a polarized 1.2 mF, 16 V capacitor with low ESR and high ripple tolerance is required.
- Power conversion stages — Use where high ripple current capability and low loss at switching frequencies improve stability and thermal performance.
- Industrial equipment — Suitable for circuits operating across −55°C to +105°C that need long-term endurance at elevated temperatures.
Unique Advantages
- High capacitance in a compact radial can: 1.2 mF of capacitance provides substantial bulk energy storage while keeping a through-hole mounting footprint.
- Low-loss operation: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and improves efficiency in high-frequency and switching environments.
- High ripple handling: Rated ripple currents up to 7.7 A at 300 kHz support demanding ripple and switching conditions.
- Designed for elevated-temperature endurance: Load-life ratings of 2000 / 5000 hours at 105°C provide predictable life performance in hot environments.
- Manufacturing-friendly: Radial lead form with compatibility for lead-free flow soldering streamlines assembly on through-hole PCBs.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports use in regulated production environments.
