RR71C680MDN1

The RR71C680MDN1 from Nichicon is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial-lead can (RR7 series). It provides 68 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with ultra-low ESR and high ripple-current capability for general-purpose electronic designs.

Designed for applications that demand low loss and robust ripple-handling in a compact through-hole package, this component combines a wide operating temperature range with specified endurance for use in elevated-temperature environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid polymer electrolyte chemistry that enables low dissipation (tanδ = 0.06 at 20°C, 120 Hz) and stable performance.
• Low ESR — ESR of 7 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting low-loss operation and efficient power handling.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current: 560 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and up to 5.6 A at higher frequencies (300 kHz / 100 kHz measurement basis), enabling effective smoothing and decoupling under dynamic loads.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 54 µA (measured after 2 minutes at 20°C), suitable for many general-purpose circuits.
• Temperature & Endurance — Operating range from -55°C to 105°C with a rated life/endurance of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Package & Mounting — Radial lead can (φ8 × 11.5 mm) with 3.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm tolerance); available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing for through-hole assembly.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make it suitable for smoothing and decoupling in power delivery circuits.
• DC–DC converter output stages — Compact radial package and strong ripple handling support use at converter outputs where stable capacitance under load is required.
• Consumer and industrial electronics — Robust temperature range and 2000 h endurance at 105°C make it appropriate for a range of general-purpose electronic products.

Unique Advantages

• Low-loss operation: Tanδ = 0.06 (20°C, 120 Hz) reduces dissipation in AC conditions and helps maintain stable performance under varying frequencies.
• Superior ripple handling: ESR of 7 mΩ and rated ripple-current figures (560 mA at 120 Hz, up to 5.6 A at high frequency) support demanding dynamic loads.
• Compact, through-hole form factor: φ8×11.5 mm can with 3.5 mm lead spacing provides a space-efficient option for through-hole assemblies.
• Wide temperature endurance: −55°C to 105°C operating range and 2000 h life rating at 105°C help ensure reliable operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging: Available in bulk (no terminal forming) or bag packing to suit through-hole production processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant materials support environmental and regulatory requirements.
