RNL1C152MDSBSQ

The RNL1C152MDSBSQ from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can, part of the RNL series. It delivers high capacitance (1.5 mF) and low equivalent series resistance in a compact φ10×16 mm package for general-purpose electronic equipment.

Designed for demanding ripple and thermal environments, the capacitor combines low ESR (8 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz), high ripple-current capability (up to 7.7 A at 300 kHz), a wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) and a rated life of 5000 hours at 105°C.

Key Features

• Dielectric & Construction  Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic design for stable electrical characteristics and reduced ESR compared with traditional electrolytics.
• High Capacitance  1.5 mF (1500 µF) nominal capacitance with tolerance −20% to +20% for bulk energy storage and smoothing tasks.
• Low ESR & High-Frequency Performance  ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting a high-frequency ripple current of 7.7 A at 300 kHz and improved high-speed decoupling.
• Ripple Current Capability  Rated low-frequency ripple current of 770 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency capability of 7.7 A at 300 kHz, enabling effective ripple handling across a wide frequency range.
• Loss and Leakage  tanδ (DF) of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz and leakage current specified at 2400 µA after 2 minutes at rated voltage, for predictable dissipation and standby behavior.
• Robust Thermal Endurance  Operating temperature −55°C to 105°C with endurance rated at 5000 hours at 105°C, suitable for long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Radial Lead Package  φ10×16L can with 5 mm lead spacing and radial-lead mounting, available in bulk/bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power rail decoupling and smoothing  High capacitance and low ESR make this part suitable for bulk filtering on DC power rails in general-purpose electronic equipment.
• High-frequency power circuits  The 7.7 A ripple-current rating at 300 kHz and low ESR support high-frequency switching environments where fast ripple handling is required.
• Bulk energy storage on board  1500 µF capacitance and stable performance at elevated temperature provide board-level storage for transient loads.
• Industrial and embedded systems  Wide temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) and 5000-hour endurance at 105°C suit long-life applications in industrial electronics and embedded equipment.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for tighter voltage regulation: 8 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage drop under load and improves efficiency in power stages.
• High ripple-current capacity: Rated up to 7.7 A at 300 kHz and 770 mA at 120 Hz, enabling handling of both high-frequency switching noise and low-frequency ripple.
• High capacitance in a compact can: 1500 µF in a φ10×16 mm package delivers substantial bulk capacitance while conserving PCB space.
• Wide temperature and long life: −55°C to 105°C operating range with 5000 hours endurance at 105°C supports durable performance in elevated-temperature applications.
• Radial-lead convenience: Through-hole radial leads with 5 mm spacing simplify prototyping and assembly for traditional PCB layouts.
• RoHS compliant: Meets environmental compliance requirements for modern production environments.
