Overview of RPS0E152MCN1GS – 1500 µF, 2.5 V Conductive-Polymer Aluminum SMD Capacitor
The RPS0E152MCN1GS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 1500 µF capacitance at a 2.5 V rating. It delivers a combination of high capacitance, low ESR and strong ripple-handling capability in a compact φ10 × 12.4 mm SMD can.
Designed for general-purpose power applications, this part supports compact PCB layouts where high smoothing and decoupling performance are required under elevated temperatures and sustained operating stress.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 1500 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 2.5 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20%.
- Conductive-Polymer Electrolyte — Solid conductive polymer construction for stable electrical characteristics and low loss (tanδ = 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz).
- Low ESR — ESR of 10 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency decoupling and reduced power dissipation.
- High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 550 mA at 120 Hz and 5.5 A at 300 kHz for robust AC stress handling across a wide frequency range.
- Temperature & Endurance — Operating temperature range −55°C to +105°C with a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C.
- Compact SMD Can — Package size φ10 × 12.4 mm (radial, can – SMD) for space-constrained board designs; surface-mount land recommendation L: 1.03 cm × W: 1.03 cm.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 937 µA (measured at 20°C after 2 minutes), suitable for general-purpose power designs requiring predictable off-state behavior.
- Assembly Ready — SMD type compatible with lead-free reflow soldering conditions (260°C peak) and supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing.
- RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as specified in the product documentation.
Typical Applications
- General-Purpose Power Filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling where 1500 µF and low ESR reduce voltage ripple across power rails.
- High-Frequency Decoupling — Use in circuits that require high ripple current handling up to 300 kHz thanks to a 5.5 A high-frequency ripple rating.
- Compact Embedded Systems — SMD can package (φ10 × 12.4 mm) provides high capacitance in a small footprint for space-limited PCBs.
- High-Temperature Applications — Suitable for designs that must operate reliably up to 105°C with a specified 2000-hour endurance at that temperature.
Unique Advantages
- High Capacitance Density: 1500 µF in a φ10 × 12.4 mm SMD can delivers significant bulk energy storage for small-form-factor designs.
- Low Loss and Stable Performance: tanδ = 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and 10 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz enable efficient filtering and reduced thermal stress under AC ripple.
- Wide Frequency Ripple Support: Rated ripple currents specified at both low (550 mA at 120 Hz) and high frequencies (5.5 A at 300 kHz) for versatile power-stage use.
- High-Temperature Endurance: 2000 hours at 105°C provides predictable life and behavior in elevated-temperature environments.
- Assembly and Supply Chain Ready: Lead-free reflow compatibility to 260°C and embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplify SMT assembly and handling.
- Regulatory Compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports environmental and regulatory requirements.
