RNU0E152MCN1

The RNU0E152MCN1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s RNU series. It delivers 1500 µF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating in a compact radial-lead can (φ8×11.5 mm) designed for general-purpose low-voltage power applications.

Key value comes from a combination of very low ESR (7 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz), high ripple current capability (up to 4.7 A at 300 kHz), wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 105°C) and a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C, making it suitable for compact power filtering and energy-storage roles where size, heat tolerance and ripple performance matter. The part is RoHS compliant and is in mass production.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Rated Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance −20% to +20% at 2.5 V rated voltage.
• Conductive Polymer Solid Electrolyte — Solid electrolyte construction for stable performance and high capacitance in a small package.
• Low ESR — 7 mΩ ESR specified at 20°C/100 kHz, reducing losses and heat under AC stress.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 4.7 A at 300 kHz (and 470 mA at 120 Hz), supporting high-frequency power applications.
• Tangent of Loss Angle (tan δ) — tanδ = 0.08 (measured at 20°C/120 Hz), indicating low dielectric loss.
• Thermal Performance & Life — Operating temperature −55°C to 105°C with a rated endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Compact Radial Package — φ8×11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial-lead mounting for through-hole assembly.
• Soldering Compatibility — Radial lead type with lead-free flow soldering condition correspondence.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 937 µA (measured at 20°C after standard conditioning).
• Packaging & Availability — Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing; product is in mass production and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Use as bulk and decoupling capacitance in low-voltage power rails where high capacitance and low ESR reduce voltage ripple.
• Low-voltage energy storage — 1500 µF at 2.5 V provides compact energy hold-up for small DC power subsystems and standby circuits.
• High-frequency power modules — Low ESR and high rated ripple current at 100–300 kHz make it suitable for filtering in switching regulators and DC–DC converters operating at high switching frequencies.
• Compact PCB designs — Small φ8×11.5 mm can and radial lead footprint support space-constrained through-hole assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple capability: 4.7 A rated ripple at 300 kHz enables reliable operation in high-frequency power stages.
• Low dissipation losses: 7 mΩ ESR and tanδ 0.08 reduce thermal stress and improve efficiency in AC-loaded circuits.
• Compact high-capacitance package: 1500 µF in an 8 mm diameter can conserves board space while providing substantial capacitance.
• Robust temperature and life rating: −55°C to 105°C operation with 2000 hours endurance at 105°C supports demanding thermal environments.
• Assembly-friendly radial form: Radial leads with 3.5 mm spacing and lead-free flow soldering compatibility simplify through-hole assembly processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction for global electronic manufacturing requirements.
