RKS1C102MCNAJLGS

The RKS1C102MCNAJLGS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor delivering 1000 µF at 16 V. It pairs high capacitance with low equivalent series resistance and designed endurance for demanding thermal environments.

Targeted for general-purpose power applications, this SMD radial can provides high allowable ripple current and a wide operating temperature range, enabling compact power filtering and decoupling in space-constrained surface-mount designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 1000 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V with a tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz).
• Low Loss / Low ESR — tanδ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and ESR of 20 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz, supporting effective high-frequency decoupling and reduced dissipation.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 200 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 2 A (300 kHz) for robust handling of switching and high-frequency loads.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated for -55°C to +125°C with a load life of 3000 hours at 125°C for long-term reliability under elevated-temperature operation.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 800 µA after application of rated voltage, suitable for power rail applications where controlled leakage is required.
• Package & Mounting — SMD radial can (φ10 × 12.4 mm length), surface-mount package supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Assembly Compatibility — Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering; peak solder temperature specified to 260°C in the datasheet reflow profile.
• Regulatory — Series-level documentation indicates compliance with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-Purpose Power Filtering — Provides bulk decoupling and smoothing for power rails in compact surface-mount assemblies, leveraging high capacitance and low ESR.
• Switching Power Supplies — Handles switching and high-frequency ripple currents with a 2 A high-frequency ripple rating, improving stability of converter outputs.
• Board-Level Energy Storage — Compact 1000 µF SMD package suitable for local energy buffering in compact electronics where space is constrained.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in an SMD Can: 1000 µF enables significant bulk energy storage in a φ10 × 12.4 mm surface-mount package, saving board space.
• Low ESR for Efficient Power Delivery: 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage drop and heat generation under high-frequency load conditions.
• High Ripple Endurance: Specified ripple currents (200 mA @120 Hz, 2 A @300 kHz) support both low- and high-frequency noise suppression on power rails.
• Extended High-Temperature Life: 3000 hours at 125°C provides proven endurance for designs exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• Assembly-Ready Packaging: Embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing facilitates automated pick-and-place and storage compliance.
