RNL1C152MDSASQ

The RNL1C152MDSASQ from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead (through-hole) can package. It provides 1500 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with a compact φ10 × 20 mm case and 5 mm lead spacing.

Designed for general-purpose electronic designs that require high capacitance, low equivalent series resistance (ESR), and robust ripple-handling, this part targets power supply filtering, decoupling and bulk energy storage applications where long endurance and wide temperature range are required.

Key Features

• High capacitance: 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a tolerance of −20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• 16 V rated voltage: Rated for 16 V (surge 18.4 V) operation to support low-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR: 8 mΩ specified at 20°C, 100 kHz, enabling lower loss and improved high-frequency performance.
• High ripple current capability: Specified ripple current of 810 mA at 120 Hz and 8.1 A at 300 kHz or more, supporting both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
• Loss tangent (tan δ): 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable AC behavior.
• Leakage current: 2400 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20°C with rated voltage), suitable for general-purpose circuits where defined leakage is acceptable.
• Endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C rated life for sustained high-temperature operation.
• Wide temperature range: −55°C to +105°C operating range for use across varied thermal environments.
• Radial lead package: φ10 × 20 mm can with 5.0 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm) for through-hole mounting and straightforward board placement; available in bulk or bag packing.
• RoHS compliant: Manufactured in compliance with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Power supply filtering: Bulk capacitance and low ESR help reduce output ripple and stabilize DC rails in power supplies.
• Decoupling for power converters: Supports DC–DC converters and regulator stages where high ripple current and compact volume are required.
• Bulk energy storage: Provides local energy reserve for transient loads in consumer and industrial electronics.
• Industrial control electronics: Capable of extended operation at elevated temperatures for control and automation modules.

Unique Advantages

• Balance of capacitance and size: 1500 µF in a φ10 × 20 mm package delivers substantial bulk capacitance while keeping board footprint compact.
• Low AC loss: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tan δ of 0.12 minimize heating and improve efficiency under AC ripple conditions.
• High-frequency performance: Rated ripple current up to 8.1 A at high frequencies supports switching regulator environments.
• Long-term thermal endurance: 5000 hours at 105°C supports reliability in sustained high-temperature applications.
• Through-hole robustness and packaging options: Radial lead format with standard 5 mm spacing simplifies assembly and repair; available in bulk or bag packing for flexible procurement.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports deployment in designs requiring restricted-substance conformity.
