RNL1C182MDSBSQ

The RNL1C182MDSBSQ is a Nichicon RNL series conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can package. It provides 1800 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low ESR and high ripple-current capability for general-purpose power applications.

Designed for environments requiring wide temperature tolerance and extended endurance, this radial-lead capacitor delivers high capacitance density and robust electrical performance for power filtering, smoothing and decoupling tasks.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1800 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance to support bulk energy storage and smoothing.
• Low ESR / High-Frequency Performance — ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency operation and reduced loss.
• High Ripple Current Capacity — Rated ripple current of 770 mA at 120 Hz and 7.7 A at 300 kHz, supporting both low- and high-frequency ripple conditions.
• Loss Characteristics — tan δ (DF) of 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz, aiding predictable AC loss behavior in filter circuits.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Endurance rated to 5000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage, with leakage current specified at 2880 µA (after 2 minutes at 20°C).
• Mechanical & Mounting — Radial lead package, case size φ10 × 16L mm with 5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk/bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• Temperature Range & Compliance — Operating temperature −55°C to +105°C; RoHS compliant and in mass production.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling where high capacitance and low ESR reduce voltage ripple and stabilize rails.
• High-ripple power circuits — Circuits with significant AC ripple at low and high frequencies benefit from the 770 mA (120 Hz) and 7.7 A (300 kHz) rated ripple currents.
• Long-life, wide-temperature installations — Systems requiring continuous operation at elevated temperatures can use this capacitor for sustained performance up to 105°C and 5000 hours endurance.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact radial can — 1800 µF in a φ10 × 16 mm case delivers substantial energy storage without a large PCB footprint.
• Low ESR for efficient operation — 8 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces I²R losses and improves thermal performance in high-frequency applications.
• Wide ripple-current range — Specified ripple capability across low and high frequencies supports versatile power-supply designs.
• Durable at elevated temperature — 5000 hours rated life at 105°C provides predictable long-term behavior in thermal-stressed environments.
• Through-hole ease-of-use — Radial lead form factor and standard lead spacing simplify prototyping and repairable board-level designs.
• Regulatory compliance — RoHS compliant for global environmental requirements.
