RFS1A100MCN1GB

The RFS1A100MCN1GB is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s RFS series. It provides 10 µF capacitance at a 10 V rating in a compact φ4 × 5.2 mm SMD can.

Designed for general-purpose board-level applications, this part combines low ESR and high ripple-current capability with a long endurance specification, making it suitable for power decoupling and filtering in space-constrained designs that require operation from -55°C to 105°C.

Key Features

• Core Technology — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte construction for stable capacitance and low-loss operation.
• Capacitance & Voltage — 10 µF nominal capacitance with a 10 V rated voltage and tolerance of -20% to +20%.
• Low ESR / High-Frequency Performance — ESR of 220 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting high-frequency ripple currents up to 700 mA at 300 kHz.
• Ripple Current — Rated ripple current of 70 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 700 mA at 300 kHz (high frequency), with frequency coefficients documented by the series datasheet.
• Reliability & Endurance — Load life rated at 2000 hours at 105°C; capacitance, tan δ and ESR limits specified for post-test performance.
• Temperature Range — Operational from -55°C to 105°C for demanding thermal environments.
• Surface-Mount Package — Radial can SMD package, φ4 × 5.2 mm, with recommended land size L: 4.3 × W: 4.3 mm and supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to applicable RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power decoupling — Compact 10 µF, 10 V SMD part with low ESR and strong high-frequency ripple capability for board-level decoupling and smoothing.
• Power-supply output filtering — 700 mA high-frequency ripple rating supports switching regulator outputs and post-regulator filtering in compact designs.
• Embedded and industrial electronics — Wide operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and 2000-hour endurance at 105°C make it suitable for robust, long-life systems.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR for reduced losses: 220 mΩ ESR at 20°C/100 kHz lowers AC loss and helps maintain voltage stability in high-frequency circuits.
• High ripple-current capability: 700 mA at 300 kHz enables reliable performance on switching regulator outputs and high-speed power rails.
• Compact SMD can: φ4 × 5.2 mm package minimizes PCB area while providing aluminum electrolytic capacitance levels.
• Extended thermal endurance: Rated 2000 hours at 105°C for designs that require sustained high-temperature operation.
• Manufacturing friendly: Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated surface-mount assembly and soldering processes.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS-compliant construction supports environmental standards compliance.
