Overview of RKS1C122MCNAJLGS – 1200 µF, 16 V Conductive Polymer SMD Electrolytic Capacitor

The RKS1C122MCNAJLGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 1.2 mF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It combines high capacitance, low equivalent series resistance, and high allowable ripple current in a compact φ10 × 12.4 mm SMD can.

Designed for general-purpose power applications, this component targets designs that require robust high-frequency performance and long-term reliability over a wide temperature range (−55 °C to 125 °C), with a rated life of 3000 hours at 125 °C.

Key Features

  • Electrical Performance — 1.2 mF capacitance with ±20% tolerance and a rated voltage of 16 V; tan δ of 0.12 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz for predictable loss characteristics.
  • Low ESR — ESR specified at 20 mΩ (20 °C, 100 kHz), supporting efficient high-frequency decoupling and lower heat generation under ripple conditions.
  • High Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 200 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.0 A (300 kHz) for demanding power-filtering roles.
  • Reliability & Endurance — Rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 125 °C and category temperature range from −55 °C to 125 °C for sustained operation in elevated-temperature environments.
  • Package & Mounting — Surface-mount, radial can (SMD) package sized φ10 × 12.4 mm to support automated PCB assembly; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing.
  • Leakage & Polarization — Polarized device with specified leakage current of 960 µA after rated conditions, suitable for applications that accommodate that level of self-discharge.
  • Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant as stated in product data.

Typical Applications

  • General-purpose power filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling where 1.2 mF capacitance and 16 V rating are required to stabilize DC rails.
  • DC–DC converter outputs — Low ESR and 2.0 A high-frequency ripple capability help reduce output ripple and improve transient response.
  • Embedded and industrial electronics — Wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to 125 °C) and 3000-hour life at 125 °C support long-term operation in temperature-challenging environments.
  • Power hold-up and energy storage — High capacitance in a compact SMD can provides bulk energy storage for short-term hold-up and supply stabilization.

Unique Advantages

  • High capacitance in a compact SMD package — 1.2 mF in a φ10 × 12.4 mm can minimizes board area for bulk capacitance requirements.
  • Low ESR for improved efficiency — 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and thermal stress under high-frequency ripple conditions.
  • Designed for high ripple environments — Rated for 2.0 A HF ripple current (300 kHz), enabling use on converter outputs and other noisy rails.
  • Long-term high-temperature endurance — 3000 hours at 125 °C provides measurable assurance for sustained elevated-temperature operation.
  • Surface-mount radial can with taped packaging — Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing support automated pick-and-place and inventory storage.
  • RoHS compliant — Conforms to environmental directives listed in the product information.

Why Choose RKS1C122MCNAJLGS?

The RKS1C122MCNAJLGS positions itself as a practical choice when designers need a high-capacitance SMD solution with low ESR and strong ripple-handling capability. Its combination of 1.2 mF capacitance, 16 V rating, 20 mΩ ESR (100 kHz), and 2.0 A high-frequency ripple current addresses common power-supply stabilization and decoupling challenges without occupying large PCB area.

This part is well suited to engineers and procurement teams working on general-purpose power electronics, DC–DC converters, and industrial or embedded systems that require broad temperature tolerance and demonstrable endurance at elevated temperatures. The packaged SMD form factor and taped shipment format simplify assembly and production integration.
