Overview of RKS1C121MCNAJJGS – 120 µF, 16 V Conductive-Polymer SMD Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor
The RKS1C121MCNAJJGS is a surface-mount conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 120 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. Housed in a compact φ10 × 10 mm radial can SMD package, it targets general-purpose electronic applications that require low ESR, high ripple tolerance and extended high-temperature endurance.
Key value propositions include low equivalent series resistance (20 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz), high allowable ripple current (2.1 A at 300 kHz), and a long rated life of 3000 hours at 125°C, combined with RoHS compliance and moisture-proof embossed carrier taping for SMT assembly.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 120 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- Conductive-Polymer Aluminum Construction — Solid electrolytic design delivering reliable electrical characteristics suited for demanding temperature and ripple conditions.
- Low ESR — 20 mΩ ESR specified at 20°C/100 kHz to minimize power loss and improve efficiency in high-frequency environments.
- High Ripple Current Capability — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 210 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.1 A (300 kHz) to support load variations and switching supplies.
- High-Temperature Endurance — Rated life of 3000 hours at 125°C, with endurance characteristics specified for capacitance, tan δ and ESR after testing.
- Loss Angle (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) for predictable loss behavior in AC conditions.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current up to 100 µA (after conditioning per datasheet guidelines).
- SMT-Compatible Packaging — φ10 × 10 mm SMD radial can with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead‑free reflow profiles up to a 260°C peak.
- Operating Temperature Range — -55°C to +125°C for broad environmental tolerance.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements stated in the product datasheet.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronics — Suited to assemblies that require a 120 µF, 16 V SMD capacitor with low ESR and long life for general smoothing and energy storage needs.
- High-ripple current environments — Appropriate where high-frequency ripple currents (up to 2.1 A at 300 kHz) must be handled without significant heating or degradation.
- Elevated-temperature assemblies — Designed for applications that demand stable performance and endurance at temperatures up to 125°C (3000-hour rated life at 125°C).
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for efficient operation: 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces power loss and supports high-frequency circuit behavior.
- High ripple tolerance: 2.1 A high-frequency ripple rating and 210 mA at 120 Hz provide margin for switching and load-transient conditions.
- Long high-temperature life: 3000-hour endurance at 125°C helps improve reliability in thermally demanding designs.
- SMD radial-can convenience: Compact φ10 × 10 mm package with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamlines automated PCB assembly.
- Predictable electrical loss: Specified tan δ of 0.12 at 120 Hz and 20°C aids in predictable AC performance and thermal planning.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS‑compliant construction supports regulatory requirements for lead‑free assemblies.
