The **RVT-35V100MF61U-R2** is a surface-mount (SMD) aluminum electrolytic capacitor. This specific part number follows the naming convention of manufacturers like **Elna** or **Lelon** (common in the RVT series). It is designed for general-purpose electronic filtering and bypass applications. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The part number itself acts as a code for its primary electrical characteristics: | Feature | Specification | Description | |:---|:---|:---| | **Series** | RVT | Standard 105°C vertical chip type (SMD) | | **Voltage (WV)** | 35V | Rated Working Voltage (DC) | | **Capacitance** | 10μF | 100 in the code represents $10 \times 10^0$ | | **Tolerance** | ±20% (M) | Standard industry tolerance for electrolytic caps | | **Case Size** | F61 | Typically refers to $6.3 \times 5.4$ mm dimensions | | **Temperature** | -55°C to +105°C | Operating temperature range | | **Packaging** | U-R2 | Tape & Reel packaging for automated SMT assembly | --- ### 2. Physical Characteristics * **Mounting Type:** SMD (Surface Mount Device) / V-Chip. * **Form Factor:** Cylindrical aluminum can seated on a square plastic base for soldering to a PCB. * **Polarity:** Polarized component. The negative terminal is usually marked with a dark stripe on the top of the can. --- ### 3. Typical Applications These capacitors are found in various electronic circuits due to their balance of size and cost: 1. **Power Supply Filtering:** Smoothing out ripples in DC-DC converters. 2. **Decoupling:** Placing near integrated circuits (ICs) to suppress noise. 3. **Bypass:** Providing a low-impedance path for high-frequency noise to ground. 4. **Consumer Electronics:** Used in chargers, LED drivers, and small household appliances. --- ### 4. Key Performance Indicators When integrating this part into a design, engineers look at these secondary parameters: * **Load Life:** Usually rated for 2,000 hours at 105°C. * **Leakage Current:** Low DC leakage (typically $0.01CV$ or $3\mu A$, whichever is greater). * **Impedance/ESR:** Standard series capacitors like the RVT have moderate ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), making them suitable for low-to-medium frequency applications but not ultra-high-speed switching.
