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.
