RKS1C101MCNAHGGS

The Nichicon RKS1C101MCNAHGGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from the RKS series. It provides 100 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ8 × 7.7 mm radial can SMD package.

Engineered for general-purpose SMD power applications, this device delivers low equivalent series resistance (30 mΩ @ 100 kHz), high allowable ripple current (1.6 A at 300 kHz), and extended load life (3000 hours at 125°C), making it suitable for designs that require stable performance across a wide temperature range (–55°C to 125°C).

Key Features

• Electrical Performance 100 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance ±20% at 20°C/120 Hz; rated voltage 16 V; tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, low-frequency ripple current 160 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.6 A at 300 kHz for robust power-rail handling.
• Leakage Current Specified leakage current up to 100 µA (measured after standard conditioning).
• Thermal and Endurance Operating temperature range –55°C to 125°C with rated load life of 3000 hours at 125°C; endurance and shelf-life characteristics meet the RKS series specifications.
• Surface-Mount Package Compact φ8 × 7.7 mm radial can SMD package designed for automated placement; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing.
• Manufacturing & Solder Compatibility SMD type supporting lead-free reflow soldering conditions with peak temperature up to 260°C as specified for the series.
• Regulatory Compliance RoHS compliant within the RKS series declaration.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose SMD power circuits — Used where low ESR and significant ripple-current capability are required on surface-mount power rails.
• High-temperature electronic assemblies — Suitable for designs that must operate up to 125°C and require long endurance (3000 hours at 125°C).
• SMD modules with automated handling — Tape-and-reel (embossed carrier) and moisture-proof packing support automated assembly and storage requirements.

Unique Advantages

• Low equivalent series resistance: 30 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces ripple voltage and improves power integrity on high-frequency rails.
• High allowable ripple current: 1.6 A at 300 kHz enables effective smoothing in demanding switching power applications.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C provides predictable long-term performance in thermally challenging environments.
• Compact SMD radial-can footprint: φ8 × 7.7 mm package delivers high capacitance in a space-efficient form factor for densely populated PCBs.
• Production-ready packaging: Embossed carrier tape and moisture-proof packing streamline automated placement and inventory handling.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements as specified for the RKS series.
