Technical Specifications Below is the breakdown of the key electrical and physical attributes: | Parameter | Value / Description | | :--- | :--- | | **Capacitance** | 10 $\mu$F (Microfarads) | | **Rated Voltage** | 35V DC | | **Tolerance** | ±20% (Standard) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +105°C | | **Mounting Type** | Surface Mount (SMD / V-Chip) | | **Case Size (Diameter)** | 6.3 mm (Approx. based on 'E61' code) | | **Endurance** | 1,000 to 2,000 hours at 105°C | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown While specific manufacturer codes vary, the string follows standard industry naming conventions: * **RVC**: Series prefix (typically denotes a standard, high-temperature vertical chip series). * **35V**: Rated working voltage (Maximum continuous voltage it can handle). * **100**: Capacitance code. The first two digits (10) are the significant figures, and the third (0) is the multiplier ($10 \times 10^0 = 10 \mu$F). * **ME61**: Physical dimensions and packaging code (E61 typically indicates a specific diameter and height profile). * **UN-R2**: Packaging/Tape and Reel specification (R2 usually indicates the reel size or quantity for automated pick-and-place machines). --- ### 3. Common Applications This specific capacitor is widely used in circuits where space is limited but high-temperature reliability is required: 1. **Power Decoupling:** Smoothing out voltage fluctuations near Integrated Circuits (ICs). 2. **DC-DC Converters:** Filtering input and output noise in small power modules. 3. **Consumer Electronics:** Used in chargers, smart home devices, and LED drivers. 4. **Automotive/Industrial:** Because it is rated for **105°C**, it is suitable for environments with moderate heat exposure. --- ### 4. Handling and Soldering * **Polarity:** This is a polarized component. The top of the cylinder usually has a black or dark marking indicating the **negative (-)** terminal. * **Soldering:** Designed for Reflow Soldering. Care should be taken not to exceed the peak temperature profile specified in the datasheet to avoid drying out the electrolyte.
