RNL1C122MDSBSQ

The RNL1C122MDSBSQ from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can. It delivers 1.2 mF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for general-purpose electronic designs.

Designed for applications that require high capacitance density and robust thermal endurance, the RNL series offers long operational life and stable electrical performance across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Electrical Performance — 1200 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with a tolerance of -20% to +20% and a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 8 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency operation.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 770 mA at 120 Hz and 7.7 A at higher frequencies (300 kHz), enabling effective handling of AC stress and transient currents.
• Thermal and Endurance — Rated for operation from -55°C to 105°C with a load life of 5000 hours at 105°C, offering extended reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Low Leakage — Leakage current specified at 1920 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C), suitable for applications where controlled leakage is required.
• Radial Lead Package — Compact φ10 × 16L can with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for through-hole assembly and manual or wave soldering processes.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as stated in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronic circuits — Provides bulk capacitance and smoothing in a wide range of consumer and industrial electronics where general-purpose capacitors are specified.
• Power management modules — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability help manage switching ripple and transient loads in power supply stages.
• High-frequency filtering — The low ESR at 100 kHz and specified high-frequency ripple current make this capacitor suitable for filtering in high-speed power circuits.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact can — 1200 µF in a φ10 × 16L package provides substantial bulk energy storage within a small through-hole footprint.
• Improved thermal endurance — 5000-hour life rating at 105°C supports designs requiring multi-thousand-hour reliability at elevated temperatures.
• Strong high-frequency performance — 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 7.7 A ripple capability at 300 kHz reduce losses and temperature rise under AC stress.
• Consistent loss characteristics — Specified tan δ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) supports predictable impedance behavior in AC and resonant conditions.
• Ease of use in through-hole assemblies — Radial lead form with 5 mm spacing simplifies placement and soldering for manual or automated wave processes.
