Overview of RNL1C821MDS6 – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor (Radial Lead)

The RNL1C821MDS6 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial lead can, offering 820 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with ±20% tolerance. It is designed for general-purpose applications that require low equivalent series resistance and high ripple current handling in a compact φ8×16 mm package.

Key performance attributes include low ESR (8 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz), high-frequency ripple capability up to 7.0 A, and a wide operating temperature range from –55°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.

Key Features

  • Electrical Performance  820 µF capacitance at 16 V with ±20% tolerance and tanδ of 0.12 (120 Hz, 20°C), providing stable capacitance and defined loss characteristics.
  • Low ESR & High Ripple  ESR of 8 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz enables high-frequency performance; rated ripple current is 700 mA at 120 Hz and 7.0 A at high frequency (specified high-frequency ripple current).
  • Leakage Current  Leakage current specified as 1312 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20°C), for predictable bias behavior in designs.
  • Reliability & Endurance  Load life specified as 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage conditions, with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ, ESR and leakage after test.
  • Thermal Range  Operating temperature range from –55°C to +105°C to support a wide span of environmental conditions.
  • Package & Mounting  Radial lead can package, size φ8×16 mm (L: 1.6 cm × D: 0.8 cm), lead spacing 3.5 mm (±0.5 mm), supplied in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing.
  • Compliance  RoHS compliant per provided product data.

Typical Applications

  • General Purpose Electronics  Used where a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor with low ESR and high ripple capability is required for general-purpose designs.
  • Power Circuitry  Applicable in circuits that benefit from high-frequency ripple handling and low loss characteristics within the specified voltage and temperature ranges.
  • Compact Designs  Small φ8×16 mm can and radial lead format for space-constrained assemblies that require solid electrolytic performance.

Unique Advantages

  • High ripple-current capability: 7.0 A high-frequency ripple rating and 700 mA at 120 Hz deliver robust AC current handling tied directly to the low ESR specification.
  • Low ESR for HF performance: 8 mΩ ESR at 20°C/100 kHz supports reduced loss and improved performance in high-frequency environments.
  • Wide operating temperature: –55°C to +105°C rating provides predictable behavior across a broad thermal range.
  • Defined endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C gives a clear reliability benchmark for thermal stress and long-run operation.
  • Compact radial-lead package: φ8×16 mm size with 3.5 mm lead spacing offers a small footprint with through-hole mounting simplicity.
  • RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements as indicated in the product details.

Why Choose RNL1C821MDS6?
