RS61A151MCN1

The RS61A151MCN1 is a radial lead conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's RS6 series. It delivers 150 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating in a miniature φ6.3×5 mm can, targeting general-purpose electronic designs that require low ESR and high ripple-current capability.

With a wide operating temperature range of −55°C to 105°C and a rated load life of 2000 hours at 105°C, this part is suited for compact power filtering and decoupling applications where small size, reliable performance and RoHS compliance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance, suitable for local energy storage and decoupling in low-voltage rails.
• Low Loss / Low ESR — tanδ 0.1 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and ESR 25 mΩ (measured at 20°C/100 kHz) for reduced power loss and improved transient response.
• High Ripple Current Capability — 250 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 2.5 A at 300 kHz (high frequency) for efficient handling of switching/noise currents in power circuits.
• Leakage Current — 450 µA (specified at 20°C after 2 minutes), enabling predictable standby and quiescent current behavior.
• Reliability & Lifetime — Load life of 2000 hours at 105°C under rated voltage; performance limits for capacitance change, tanδ and ESR are defined by the RS6 series endurance specification.
• Compact Radial Package — φ6.3×5 mm can with 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), radial lead mounting for straightforward through-hole assembly and mechanical stability.
• Packaging & Compliance — Supplied in bulk or bag packing (no terminal forming) and compliant with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Power Filtering — Local smoothing and decoupling on low-voltage DC rails where compact size and low ESR improve regulation and transient response.
• Switching Power Supplies — Output and post-regulation filtering in compact converters that require high ripple-current endurance at switching frequencies.
• Embedded and Industrial Electronics — Bulk decoupling and noise suppression in space-constrained modules operating across −55°C to 105°C.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current tolerance: Rated for up to 2.5 A at high frequency, enabling reliable use on switching nodes and high-frequency filters.
• Low ESR for tighter regulation: 25 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces output ripple and power dissipation in tight power budgets.
• Small footprint: φ6.3×5 mm can and 2.5 mm lead spacing minimize board area while providing substantial capacitance for local energy storage.
• Predictable endurance: 2000-hour load life at 105°C with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ and ESR supports long-term design planning.
• RoHS compliant supply: Meets RoHS directive requirements for use in regulated assemblies and products.
