Overview of RNS1D150MDS1 – 15 µF, 20 V Conductive-Polymer Aluminum Radial Capacitor
The RNS1D150MDS1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact radial‑lead can. It delivers 15 µF capacitance at a 20 V rating with a polarized radial lead configuration for general‑purpose electronic applications.
Designed for applications that require low ESR and high ripple handling in a small footprint, the part offers a broad operating temperature range and a 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C for reliable performance in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 15 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 20 V and capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Conductive‑Polymer Construction — Solid electrolytic conductive polymer design delivering low ESR and stable electrical characteristics at higher frequencies.
- Low ESR & High‑Frequency Performance — ESR of 63 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz supports high‑frequency applications and improved ripple performance.
- Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 170 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.7 A at 300 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective smoothing under AC and switching conditions.
- Leakage & Dissipation — Low leakage current of 50 µA and tan δ (DF) of 0.06 measured at 20°C/120 Hz for predictable loss characteristics.
- Reliability & Endurance — 2000 hours endurance at 105°C under rated voltage; designed to maintain capacitance, tan δ and ESR within specified limits after endurance test.
- Compact Radial Package — Small can size φ6.3 × 7 mm with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for through‑hole assembly and space‑constrained PCBs.
- Packaging & Availability — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing; status listed as mass production for production continuity.
Typical Applications
- General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Suitable for general‑purpose smoothing and decoupling where a 15 µF, 20 V polarized capacitor with low ESR is required.
- High‑Frequency Decoupling — Low ESR (63 mΩ at 100 kHz) and 1.7 A ripple capability at 300 kHz make it applicable for decoupling near switching regulators and high‑frequency circuits.
- Compact Electronic Modules — Small φ6.3 × 7 mm can and radial leads (2.5 mm spacing) fit compact PCB layouts where through‑hole mounting is preferred.
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for improved dynamic response: 63 mΩ ESR at 20°C/100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and supports high‑frequency performance.
- High ripple current handling: Rated for 170 mA at 120 Hz and 1.7 A at 300 kHz to handle both low‑ and high‑frequency ripple demands.
- Robust temperature endurance: Operates across -55°C to 105°C with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C, supporting long‑term reliability in elevated temperatures.
- Compact, through‑hole form factor: φ6.3 × 7 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing enables easy integration into space‑limited designs and legacy through‑hole assemblies.
- Predictable leakage and dissipation: Low leakage current (50 µA) and controlled tan δ (0.06 at 20°C/120 Hz) support consistent behavior in power and timing circuits.
- Production ready: Available in bulk and bag packing and listed as mass production for reliable sourcing.
Why Choose RNS1D150MDS1?
RNS1D150MDS1 balances compact size with solid conductive‑polymer performance: low ESR, high ripple capability, and a wide operating temperature range make it a fit for designs that need stable decoupling and filtering in a small radial‑lead package. The 2000‑hour endurance at 105°C and controlled leakage/tan δ characteristics provide predictable long‑term behavior in elevated temperature environments.
This part is well suited to engineers designing compact, through‑hole or hybrid assemblies who require a 15 µF, 20 V polarized capacitor with strong high‑frequency performance and production availability.
