Overview of RKS1C121MCNAHGGS – 120 µF, 16 V Conductive Polymer Aluminum SMD Capacitor

The RKS1C121MCNAHGGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 120 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It combines a compact φ8 × 7.7 mm radial can SMD package with specifications aimed at general-purpose electronic designs.

Key attributes include a wide operating temperature range from −55 °C to 125 °C, a rated life of 3000 hours at 125 °C, low equivalent series resistance, and defined ripple-current capabilities for applications that require stable performance in demanding thermal and frequency conditions.

Key Features

  • Capacitance & Voltage — 120 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
  • Low Loss & Dissipation — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) specified at 0.12 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz), supporting predictable AC behavior within the stated conditions.
  • Low ESR & High Ripple Capability — ESR of 30 mΩ at 20 °C / 100 kHz and a high-frequency ripple current rating of 1.6 A (at 300 kHz), with a low-frequency ripple current of 160 mA (at 120 Hz).
  • Reliability & Endurance — Rated for 3000 hours at 125 °C under rated voltage conditions as defined by the series specifications.
  • Leakage Current — Specified leakage current up to 100 µA after standard conditioning.
  • Surface-Mount Radial Can Package — Compact φ8 × 7.7 mm SMD can (radial) package suited for board-level integration in space-constrained designs.
  • Soldering Robustness — SMD type compatible with lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak as described in the series soldering heat resistance specifications.
  • Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant per the product data.

Typical Applications

  • General-Purpose Electronics — Provides a 120 µF, 16 V SMD capacitor option for general-purpose circuitry where a compact conductive polymer aluminum solution is required.
  • High-Temperature Designs — The −55 °C to 125 °C operating range and 3000-hour endurance at 125 °C support applications exposed to wide temperature ranges.
  • SMD Power Modules — Low ESR (30 mΩ at 100 kHz) and defined high-frequency ripple current (1.6 A at 300 kHz) suit surface-mount power designs that specify those electrical characteristics.

Unique Advantages

  • Long High-Temperature Life: 3000 hours endurance at 125 °C provides quantified operational longevity under the rated conditions.
  • Defined High-Frequency Performance: ESR specified at 30 mΩ (100 kHz) and a 1.6 A high-frequency ripple current rating offer clear electrical targets for design margining.
  • Compact SMD Can Footprint: φ8 × 7.7 mm radial SMD package delivers 120 µF capacitance in a small board space.
  • Controlled Leakage: Leakage current specified at 100 µA supports predictable standby and bias behavior after conditioning.
  • Reflow-Compatible Assembly: Designed for lead-free reflow soldering up to a 260 °C peak as described in the series soldering guidelines.
  • Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant to support environmentally regulated designs.
