Overview of RS81C271MCN1 – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid Electrolytic Capacitor, Radial Lead, 270 µF, 16 V

The RS81C271MCN1 is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a low-profile φ6.3×8 mm radial-can package. Designed for general-purpose electronic designs, it delivers high ripple current capability and low equivalent series resistance for compact power and decoupling applications.

With a rated capacitance of 270 µF at 16 V, a wide operating temperature range of −55 °C to 105 °C and a rated life of 2000 hours at 105 °C, this part balances performance and reliability for production designs that require stable low-ESR bulk capacitance in a small footprint.

Key Features

  • Dielectric / Electrolyte Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte for stable electrical performance and reduced ESR compared with traditional wet electrolytics.
  • Capacitance & Voltage 270 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V with tolerance −20% to +20% (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz).
  • Low Loss / Low ESR Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.1 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) and ESR 15 mΩ (measured at 20 °C, 100 kHz) to support efficient high-frequency operation.
  • High Ripple Current Capability Rated ripple current of 380 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 3.8 A at 300 kHz (high frequency) to handle transient and switching currents; frequency dependence follows the RS8 series coefficients.
  • Reliability / Lifetime Load life specified at 2000 hours at 105 °C under rated voltage, with limits on capacitance change, tanδ and ESR per the RS8 series endurance criteria.
  • Package & Mounting Radial lead can, φ6.3×8 mm size, 2.5 mm lead spacing (±0.5 mm), packaged in bulk or bag packing; polarized design for through-hole mounting.
  • Environmental Compliance RoHS compliant.
  • Production Status Mass production availability.

Typical Applications

  • General-purpose electronic circuits — Provides compact bulk capacitance and low ESR for board-level power stability in a variety of consumer and industrial devices.
  • Switching power supplies and DC–DC converters — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings support filtering and decoupling at switching frequencies.
  • Point-of-load decoupling — Small footprint and low loss angle help maintain stable voltage rails in densely packed assemblies.

Unique Advantages

  • Low ESR at high frequency — 15 mΩ (20 °C / 100 kHz) enables improved efficiency and reduced heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
  • High ripple tolerance across frequencies — 380 mA at 120 Hz and 3.8 A at 300 kHz, with frequency coefficients defined by the RS8 series, supports both low- and high-frequency ripple environments.
  • Compact, low-profile package — φ6.3×8 mm radial can minimizes board area while providing substantial capacitance for space-constrained designs.
  • Engineered for elevated temperature operation — Rated for −55 °C to 105 °C with a 2000-hour life rating at 105 °C, suitable for applications requiring sustained thermal endurance.
  • Measured and specified under standard conditions — Key parameters (tanδ, ESR, leakage current) are specified with measurement conditions (20 °C / 120 Hz or 100 kHz) for predictable selection and validation.
  • Production-ready supply — Mass production status and available bulk or bag packing support volume procurement and assembly workflows.
