RKS1C101MCNAFGGS

The RKS1C101MCNAFGGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s RKS series. Designed for general-purpose SMD applications, it delivers 100 µF at 16 V with low equivalent series resistance and high allowable ripple current in a compact φ6.3 × 7.7 mm can-style package.

Key value comes from a combination of low ESR (30 mΩ at 100 kHz, 20°C), high frequency ripple handling (1.5 A at 300 kHz), and long endurance (3000 hours at 125°C), making it suitable for compact power and decoupling applications that require stable performance across a wide temperature range.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 100 µF rated capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low ESR & High-Frequency Performance — ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 100 kHz (20°C) and high-frequency ripple current capability of 1.5 A at 300 kHz for improved filtering and decoupling.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 150 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1500 mA, supporting demanding power-conditioning tasks.
• Thermal Endurance — Rated operating temperature from −55°C to +125°C with a load life of 3000 hours at 125°C, providing long-term stability in high-temperature environments.
• Solid Electrolyte Construction — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte architecture for stable electrical characteristics and reliable performance over life.
• SMD, Assembly-Ready Packaging — Radial can-style SMD package (φ6.3 × 7.7 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated PCB assembly and reflow compatibility.
• Leakage & Loss Characteristics — Leakage current specified at 100 µA and tangent of loss angle (tanδ) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, enabling predictable behavior in circuit designs.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as stated in product information.

Typical Applications

• Power supply decoupling — Compact SMD smoothing and bulk decoupling on 16 V rails where low ESR and high ripple handling improve regulation and transient response.
• High-frequency filtering — Use in EMI suppression and high-frequency bypass networks that benefit from a 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 1.5 A HF ripple capacity.
• Embedded and industrial electronics — General-purpose energy storage and decoupling in compact assemblies that require operation across −55°C to +125°C and extended life at elevated temperatures.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: 1.5 A high-frequency ripple current and 150 mA low-frequency ripple current reduce thermal stress and extend system lifetime under dynamic loads.
• Low ESR for tighter regulation: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz helps lower voltage drop and improves power-supply filtering performance in space-constrained designs.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C provides predictable endurance for designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ6.3 × 7.7 mm radial can-style package is compatible with automated assembly and saves board area compared with larger through-hole parts.
• Predictable leakage and loss: Specified leakage current and tanδ values support accurate power budgeting and AC loss calculations.
• Production-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies inventory handling and reflow processing.
