Overview of RNS1A680MDS1 – Radial Lead Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor, 68 µF, 10 V
The RNS1A680MDS1 is a radial-lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 68 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating. Engineered for general-purpose electronic designs, it provides a compact solution with low ESR and strong high-frequency ripple capability for low-voltage power rails and related circuits.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 10 V and capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20%.
- Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid polymer aluminum electrolytic design for stable electrical characteristics and low equivalent series resistance.
- Low ESR & Loss — ESR of 35 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz and tanδ of 0.07 (20°C, 120 Hz), supporting efficient power delivery and reduced dissipation.
- High-Frequency Ripple Performance — Rated high-frequency ripple current of 2.65 A at 300 kHz and low-frequency ripple current of 265 mA at 120 Hz; frequency coefficient data supports operation up to 300 kHz.
- Reliability & Endurance — Endurance specified at 2000 hours at 105°C with acceptance criteria for capacitance, tanδ and ESR changes defined in the datasheet.
- Wide Operating Temperature — Specified operating range from -55°C to 105°C for use across varied thermal environments.
- Compact Radial Package — Case size φ6.3 × 10 L mm with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), available in bulk or bag packing for flexible assembly.
- Leakage Current & Tolerance — Leakage current specified at 102 µA and standard tolerance ±20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronic circuits — Suitable where a 68 µF, 10 V polarized capacitor is required for general-purpose designs.
- Low-voltage power rails — Rated for 10 V operation, appropriate for stabilization and energy storage on low-voltage supply lines.
- High-frequency ripple handling — Supports 2.65 A ripple at 300 kHz, making it suitable for circuits that encounter significant high-frequency ripple currents.
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for efficient power delivery — 35 mΩ at 100 kHz minimizes resistive losses and heat generation in high-frequency applications.
- High ripple-current capability — 2.65 A at 300 kHz (and 265 mA at 120 Hz) lets designers manage both low- and high-frequency ripple demands.
- Solid polymer reliability — Conductive polymer aluminum construction offers stable electrical performance and controlled leakage current behavior.
- Thermal endurance — Rated for 2000 hours at 105°C, supporting designs that require sustained operation at elevated temperatures.
- Compact footprint — φ6.3 × 10 mm radial can with 2.5 mm lead spacing enables use in space-constrained boards.
