RDS1C680MCNAFEGS

The RDS1C680MCNAFEGS is a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a compact SMD radial-can package. It delivers 68 µF at 16 V with low ESR and high ripple current capacity for designs that must operate at elevated temperatures.

Designed for applications requiring high capacitance density, reliable high-temperature performance and surface-mount assembly, the part offers a long load life and lead-free reflow compatibility for modern manufacturing flows.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 68 µF rated capacitance at a 16 V rating, suitable where moderate DC bus voltage and bulk decoupling are required.
• Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid polymer construction provides stable performance and measurable low ESR characteristics.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Current — ESR of 24 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz) and rated ripple current up to 1.8 A at 300 kHz (180 mA at 120 Hz), enabling effective filtering and smoothing at switching frequencies.
• Extended High-Temperature Endurance — Rated for operation from –55°C to +125°C with a specified load life of 3000 hours at 125°C under rated voltage.
• SMD Radial-Can Package — Surface-mount radial can (φ6.3×5.7 mm) for compact board-level integration; recommended land size L:6.5 × W:6.5 mm.
• Manufacturing Compatibility — Lead-free reflow soldering compatible with a 260°C peak reflow condition.
• Regulatory — Compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• DC‑DC converter output filtering — Low ESR (24 mΩ) and 1.8 A ripple capability at 300 kHz make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and hold-up at converter outputs rated up to 16 V.
• Point‑of‑load decoupling in industrial electronics — Long life (3000 hours at 125°C) and an operating range to +125°C address high-temperature board‑level power needs.
• Communications and networking modules — Compact SMD radial-can package and high ripple handling help maintain stable power rails in compact, high-density modules.

Unique Advantages

• Extended high‑temperature reliability: 3000 hours at 125°C provides predictable lifetime performance in elevated-temperature environments.
• High ripple handling: Rated ripple current up to 1.8 A at 300 kHz supports demanding switching power applications.
• Low ESR for improved transient response: 24 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and improves regulator stability.
• SMD reflow-ready: Lead-free reflow compatibility to 260°C enables standard surface-mount assembly and automated production.
• Space-efficient can package: φ6.3×5.7 mm footprint and small recommended land pattern (6.5 × 6.5 mm) simplify PCB layout in compact designs.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity supports environmentally compatible product designs.
