RR50E152MDN1

The RR50E152MDN1 from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in the RR5 series designed for ultra-low ESR and high ripple current handling. It is a radial lead, polarized capacitor rated at 2.5 V with a capacitance of 1.5 mF (1500 μF) and ±20% tolerance.

Engineered for demanding power applications, this component offers a long load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, RoHS compliance, and lead-free flow soldering compatibility for radial mounting layouts.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 1.5 mF (1500 μF) nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 2.5 V with tolerance of -20% to +20% for bulk decoupling and energy storage on low-voltage rails.
• Ultra-low ESR — 5 mΩ specified ESR at 100 kHz (20°C) to minimize voltage drop under high-frequency load and improve power-stage stability.
• High ripple current capability — Rated ripple currents of 722 mA at 120 Hz and 7.22 A at 300 kHz support designs with significant AC stress on the capacitor.
• Thermal and lifetime performance — Load life of 2000 hours at 105°C and an operating temperature range of -55°C to +105°C for extended reliability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Radial package and mounting — Compact radial, can-style package with lead spacing of 5 mm and physical dimensions L: 1.25 cm × D: 1.00 cm for space-efficient PCB layouts. Compatible with lead-free flow soldering conditions.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power decoupling — Bulk smoothing and energy storage on low-voltage power rails where 2.5 V rating and large capacitance are required.
• High-ripple power stages — Power converters and switching stages that demand high ripple-current handling at both low and high frequencies.
• Compact radial-mount designs — Space-constrained PCBs that require a radial lead, can-style capacitor with small footprint and lead spacing for through-hole assembly.

Unique Advantages

• Low impedance at high frequency: 5 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves transient response in power circuits.
• High ripple endurance: Specified ripple currents (7.22 A at 300 kHz, 722 mA at 120 Hz) enable reliable operation under heavy AC loading.
• Extended high-temperature life: 2000-hour load life at 105°C supports long-term operation in elevated-temperature applications.
• Radial, lead-free assembly ready: Designed for radial lead mounting with lead-free flow soldering compatibility to simplify manufacturing for through-hole assemblies.
• Wide operating temperature range: -55°C to +105°C operation covers a broad set of industrial and consumer operating environments.

Why Choose RR50E152MDN1?
