RNL1C152MDS4

The RNL1C152MDS4 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, rated 16 V with 1500 µF capacitance (±20%). It delivers low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and high ripple-current capability in a compact φ10 × 16 mm package with 5.0 mm lead spacing.

Designed for general-purpose power applications, this part targets circuits that require high ripple handling, low loss, and dependable operation over a wide temperature range (−55 °C to 105 °C). The RNL series construction and 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C provide a reliable option for OEM and industrial designs.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer aluminum construction — Solid electrolyte design for low ESR and improved high-frequency performance compared with conventional electrolytes.
• High capacitance — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance suitable for bulk energy storage and smoothing applications.
• Low ESR — 8 mΩ measured at 20 °C / 100 kHz, reducing power loss and heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple-current capability — Rated 770 mA at 120 Hz and 7.7 A at 300 kHz, enabling use in switching supplies and other high-frequency power stages.
• Temperature and endurance — Operating range −55 °C to 105 °C with a load life of 2000 hours at 105 °C for sustained reliability under elevated temperature stress.
• Electrical characteristics — tan δ (loss tangent) of 0.12 at 20 °C / 120 Hz and leakage current specified at 2400 µA (after 2 minutes at rated voltage, 20 °C).
• Radial lead package — φ10 × 16 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing and bulk/bag packing options; mass-production status for volume availability.
• RoHS compliant — Meets RoHS requirements as indicated in product data.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering — Bulk smoothing and output filter duties where high capacitance and low ESR reduce ripple and improve regulation.
• Switching regulator support — Handles high-frequency ripple currents common in DC–DC converters thanks to its 7.7 A capability at 300 kHz and low ESR.
• Decoupling for general-purpose electronics — Provides energy buffering and transient support in equipment across industrial and consumer applications.
• High-temperature environments — Suitable for designs requiring operation up to 105 °C with a specified 2000-hour endurance at that temperature.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss operation: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tan δ of 0.12 minimize dissipation in high-frequency and high-current conditions.
• High ripple handling: 770 mA at 120 Hz and 7.7 A at 300 kHz support both low- and high-frequency ripple demands without excessive heating.
• Compact, serviceable form factor: φ10 × 16 mm radial can with 5.0 mm lead spacing eases PCB integration for through-hole designs.
• Wide thermal capability: −55 °C to 105 °C operating range and 2000-hour endurance at 105 °C for sustained performance in elevated-temperature applications.
• Production-ready availability: Mass-production status with bulk/bag packing options enables predictable procurement for volume builds.
