RNL1C152MDS1

The RNL1C152MDS1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, delivering 1.5 mF capacitance at a 16 V rating. Designed for general-purpose power applications, it offers low ESR and high ripple-current capability in a compact φ10×20 mm package with 5 mm lead spacing.

Its combination of high capacitance, low equivalent series resistance, and a −55°C to 105°C operating range makes it suitable for designs that require reliable bulk energy storage and high-frequency ripple handling in a small radial through-hole form factor.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 1.5 mF (1500 µF) with a tolerance of −20% to +20% measured at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rated voltage with an 18.4 V surge rating as specified by the series documentation.
• Low ESR & High-frequency Performance — ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting high-frequency decoupling and minimizing losses.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current figures include 810 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 8.1 A at 300 kHz, enabling effective smoothing under high ripple conditions.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range −55°C to +105°C with a specified load life/endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified at 2400 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20°C) and tanδ (DF) of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can, case size φ10×20 mm with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing.
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with RoHS requirements as noted in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• Power supply bulk filtering: Large 1.5 mF capacitance combined with low ESR (8 mΩ) provides effective bulk energy storage and smoothing for DC power rails.
• High-frequency decoupling: Measured ESR at 100 kHz and high ripple-current capability (up to 8.1 A at 300 kHz) support decoupling in high-frequency switching supply stages.
• Embedded and industrial electronics: Radial-lead format and a −55°C to +105°C operating range suit through-hole assemblies requiring robust, long-life capacitor performance.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact can: 1500 µF in a φ10×20 mm case provides significant energy density for space-constrained through-hole designs.
• Low loss at high frequency: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces I²R loss and improves efficiency in switching environments.
• Strong ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 810 mA (120 Hz) and 8.1 A (300 kHz) support both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions without excessive heating.
• Wide temperature range and specified endurance: −55°C to +105°C rated operation with a 2000-hour life at 105°C ensures predictable performance under elevated temperatures.
• Radial through-hole convenience: Standard 5 mm lead spacing and can package simplify layout and mechanical retention for hand-assembled or wave-soldered boards.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS directive requirements as documented for the RNL series.
