The part number **RTZ-16V152MJHT-R5** refers to a high-performance **Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor** produced by manufacturers like **ELNA** (common for the RTZ series). It is specifically designed for surface-mount applications requiring low impedance and high reliability. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Breakdowns Based on the standard nomenclature for this series, here are the technical parameters: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Capacitance** | 1500 µF (Microfarads) | | **Voltage Rating** | 16V DC | | **Mounting Type** | SMD (Surface Mount Device) | | **Series** | RTZ (Low Impedance / High Temperature) | | **Tolerance** | ±20% (Standard) | | **Temperature Range** | -55°C to +105°C | | **Endurance** | Typically 2,000 to 5,000 hours at 105°C | --- ### 2. Decoding the Part Number The alphanumeric string provides specific details about the component's physical and electrical characteristics: * **RTZ**: The series name (signifies Low Impedance and Vertical Chip type). * **16V**: Rated working voltage (Maximum 16 Volts). * **152**: Capacitance code. The first two digits (15) are the value, and the third (2) is the multiplier ($10^2$). $15 \times 100 = 1500$ µF. * **M**: Tolerance code (M = ±20%). * **JHT**: Package/Case size code (Refer to manufacturer datasheet for exact millimeter dimensions). * **R5**: Taping/Packaging code (indicates how it is wound on a reel for pick-and-place machines). --- ### 3. Key Features and Applications The RTZ series is distinguished by its "Low Impedance" profile, which is critical for modern high-speed electronics. #### **Key Features** * **Low ESR:** Reduces heat generation during operation. * **Reflow Soldering Compatible:** Designed to withstand the high temperatures of SMD production lines. * **Vibration Resistance:** The "Vertical Chip" design often includes anti-vibration bases for automotive use. #### **Typical Applications** 1. **Motherboards & Peripherals:** Filtering noise in power delivery stages. 2. **Automotive Electronics:** Used in ECUs and infotainment systems due to temperature stability. 3. **DC/DC Converters:** Smoothing output current in switching power supplies. 4. **Telecommunications:** High-density power modules. --- ### 4. Layout Recommendation (Footprint) When designing a PCB for this part, ensure the landing pads account for the "MJHT" case size. ```markdown Recommended Pad Layout (Generic MJHT Size): - Pad Width: ~1.0mm to 4.5mm (depending on specific diameter) - Pad Length: ~3.0mm to 5.0mm - Solder Mask: 0.1mm expansion ```
