RS61C181MCN1

The RS61C181MCN1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a radial‑lead can package, offering 180 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. Designed for general‑purpose electronics, it delivers low ESR and high ripple current in a miniature footprint for compact board-level power and filtering applications.

With an operating temperature range of −55°C to +105°C and a rated life of 2000 hours at 105°C, this RoHS‑compliant, mass‑production part is suited to designs that require reliable decoupling and smoothing under elevated temperature and high‑frequency ripple conditions.

Key Features

• Core Technology — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte construction for improved conductivity and stability compared with conventional electrolytes.
• Capacitance & Voltage — 180 µF nominal capacitance at a 16 V rating with ±20% tolerance (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR — 20 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz and 20°C to support lower loss and better voltage stability under load.
• High Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 320 mA at 120 Hz and 3.2 A at 300 kHz (frequency coefficient applied) for demanding AC and switching environments.
• Temperature & Endurance — Wide operating range from −55°C to +105°C with a load life specification of 2000 hours at 105°C.
• Reliability Parameters — Specified tanδ of 0.1 and leakage current of 576 µA (measured at 20°C after 2 minutes) for predictable behavior in circuit.
• Compact Radial Package — Miniature dimensions (L: 5 × D: 6.3 mm), radial lead spacing 2.5 mm, and radial can package for through‑hole mounting in space‑constrained layouts.
• Availability & Compliance — RoHS compliant and in mass production; packaging options include bulk (no terminal forming) and bag packing.

Typical Applications

• Power supply decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple current rating make the RS61C181MCN1 suitable for smoothing and decoupling at regulator outputs and local board power rails.
• Switching regulator output filtering — High ripple current capability at high frequency supports output filtering in switching power stages.
• Space‑constrained PCB designs — Miniature φ6.3×5 case and 2.5 mm lead spacing enable compact placement where board area is limited.
• General‑purpose electronic circuits — Robust temperature range (−55°C to +105°C) and defined endurance make it applicable across a wide set of consumer and industrial board‑level functions.

Unique Advantages

• Low loss under AC stress: 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces heating and improves efficiency in high‑frequency circuits.
• High ripple handling: Rated ripple current up to 3.2 A at 300 kHz supports demanding switching and AC ripple conditions.
• Compact form factor: φ6.3×5 (L: 5 × D: 6.3 mm) size and 2.5 mm lead spacing ease integration into dense, through‑hole layouts.
• Wide temperature tolerance: −55°C to +105°C operation supports extended environmental ranges for industrial and embedded applications.
• Predictable long‑term behavior: Specified tanδ, leakage current, and a 2000‑hour life at 105°C provide measurable reliability metrics for design validation.
• Production readiness: RoHS compliance and mass production status with bulk and bag packing options simplify sourcing and assembly planning.
