RKS1C101MCNAHFGS

The RKS1C101MCNAHFGS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 100 µF at 16 V in a compact φ8 × 6.7 mm SMD can. It delivers low ESR and high allowable ripple current for high-frequency power decoupling and general-purpose power applications, with extended endurance of 3000 hours at 125°C.

Designed for board-level power stability, the part combines a low-loss characteristic (tanδ 0.12 @ 20°C, 120 Hz) with an ESR of 30 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz), supporting robust ripple handling up to 1.6 A at high frequency while remaining RoHS compliant.

Key Features

• Core Electrical — 100 µF capacitance at 16 V with tolerance −20% to +20%; low dissipation factor (tanδ 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz) for efficient AC performance.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability — ESR of 30 mΩ at 100 kHz and high-frequency ripple current rating of 1.6 A (300 kHz) plus 160 mA at 120 Hz, enabling effective smoothing and decoupling on high-speed power rails.
• Reliability & Endurance — Load life specified for 3000 hours at 125°C; leakage current rated at 100 µA to support predictable long-term behavior under rated voltage.
• Thermal Range — Operating temperature range from −55°C to +125°C, suitable for thermal variation in many electronic systems.
• Package & Assembly — Surface-mount radial can package (φ8 × 6.7 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated pick-and-place. Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (peak 260°C per datasheet conditions).
• Compliance — RoHS compliant per product documentation.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Decoupling — Low ESR and low tanδ make this capacitor suitable for decoupling and stabilizing DC rails in DC–DC converters and point-of-load circuits.
• High-Frequency Power Modules — High allowable ripple current at 300 kHz supports use in switching power modules and high-frequency power stages.
• Industrial and Communications Equipment — Rated life of 3000 hours at 125°C and wide temperature range address reliability needs in industrial and communications power subsystems.
• General-Purpose Board-Level Power — Compact SMD can and embossed carrier packaging enable automated assembly for space-constrained consumer and professional electronics.

Unique Advantages

• Stable high-frequency performance: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tanδ 0.12 provide predictable behavior for high-speed decoupling tasks.
• High allowable ripple current: 1.6 A at 300 kHz reduces heating and improves reliability in switching power applications.
• Long high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C supports designs exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• Compact SMD form factor: φ8 × 6.7 mm can delivers substantial capacitance and ripple handling in a small board footprint.
• Production-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies automated placement and storage handling.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Specified leakage current (100 µA) and conditioning guidance enable straightforward power budget and reliability planning.
