Overview of RNL1C152MDS6 – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, 1500 µF, 16 V
The RNL1C152MDS6 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, delivering 1500 µF at 16 V with a ±20% tolerance. Designed for general-purpose use, it provides low ESR, high ripple-current capability and extended high-temperature endurance for demanding electronic power applications.
Key value comes from a compact φ8×20 mm package with 3.5 mm lead spacing, an 8 mΩ ESR at 20°C/100 kHz, and rated operation from −55°C to 105°C with a 2000-hour life at 105°C.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rating with a capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
- Low ESR & High Ripple Capability — ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz and a high-frequency ripple current rating of 7.5 A (300 kHz); low-frequency ripple current is 750 mA at 120 Hz.
- Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid conductive polymer electrolyte provides low loss (tanδ 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and supports high capacitance in a compact can.
- Thermal Endurance — Rated for operation from −55°C to 105°C with an endurance specification of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage.
- Radial Lead Package — φ8×20 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) and radial lead mounting; available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing. Polarized device.
- Leakage & Reliability — Specified leakage current of 2400 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20°C under rated voltage) and lifecycle performance aligned to RNL series endurance criteria.
- Regulatory — RoHS compliant and in mass production.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power filtering — Bulk capacitance and low ESR support smoothing and decoupling in general power supply circuits where high ripple currents are encountered.
- High-frequency power stages — Low ESR at 100 kHz and a 7.5 A ripple rating at 300 kHz make the part suited for power conversion stages that require effective high-frequency bypassing.
- Industrial and consumer electronics — Compact φ8×20 mm radial can and wide temperature range allow use in a variety of general-purpose electronic assemblies.
Unique Advantages
- High effective capacitance in a compact can — 1500 µF in a φ8×20 mm package reduces board area for designs requiring bulk capacitance.
- Superior high-frequency performance — 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and a 7.5 A ripple rating at 300 kHz support stable decoupling in high-frequency power circuits.
- Wide operating temperature — −55°C to 105°C rating enables deployment across broad environmental conditions without derating component choice.
- Endurance rated at elevated temperature — 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage gives a measurable reliability baseline for long-term designs.
- Radial-lead form factor — Through-hole radial lead simplifies assembly for legacy PCBs and hand-soldered prototypes; available bulk or bag packed for flexible supply-chain needs.
