The **RVT-63V100MF80U-R2** is a surface-mount (SMD) aluminum electrolytic capacitor. This specific part number follows the standard coding convention for Elna or similar manufacturers producing high-reliability SMD capacitors. --- ## 1. Technical Specifications Below is a breakdown of the electrical and physical characteristics of this component: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor (SMD Type) | | **Capacitance** | 10 µF | | **Voltage Rating** | 63V DC | | **Tolerance** | ±20% (Standard M tolerance) | | **Operating Temperature** | -55°C to +105°C | | **Case Size (Diameter x L)** | 6.3mm x 7.7mm (approx.) | | **Termination Style** | V-Chip (Vertical Surface Mount) | | **Standard Life** | 2,000 hours at 105°C | --- ## 2. Part Number Breakdown Understanding the nomenclature helps in identifying equivalent parts: * **RVT**: Series code (High temperature, 105°C, standard SMT series). * **63V**: Rated voltage (Maximum working voltage the capacitor can handle). * **100**: Capacitance value. In this coding, the first two digits are the value and the third is the multiplier (10 x 10^0 = 10µF). * **MF80**: Case size code (M = 6.3mm diameter; F80 typically refers to the height/length, roughly 7.7mm to 8mm). * **U-R2**: Packaging/Revision code (usually denotes Tape & Reel packaging). --- ## 3. Key Features & Applications ### Key Features * **Surface Mount Design:** Optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. * **High Temperature Rating:** The 105°C rating makes it suitable for industrial environments compared to standard 85°C variants. * **Low Profile:** The "V-chip" design allows for a compact footprint on PCBs. ### Common Applications 1. **DC-DC Converters:** Filtering input/output noise in power supplies. 2. **Automotive Electronics:** Used in non-safety critical modules due to the 105°C rating. 3. **Industrial Controls:** Signal smoothing and energy storage in control boards. 4. **Consumer Electronics:** Power management in LED drivers and telecommunication equipment. --- ## 4. Handling & Soldering Since this is an electrolytic capacitor, specific care must be taken: * **Polarity:** This is a polarized component. The black marking on the top of the cylinder indicates the **negative (-)** terminal. * **Reflow Soldering:** Must follow the JEDEC J-STD-020 profiles to avoid electrolyte leakage or "popcorning" due to excessive heat.
