RKS1C151MCNAHHGS

The RKS1C151MCNAHHGS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in the RKS series. It provides 150 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low equivalent series resistance and high allowable ripple current for general-purpose power applications.

Designed for SMD assembly and long-term operation up to 125°C, this component targets engineers who need compact, high-capacitance SMD capacitors with verified endurance and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte construction for stable performance and low loss.
• Electrical Performance 150 µF capacitance at 16 V with tolerance −20% to +20%, tanδ (DF) 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, and ESR of 30 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz.
• Ripple Current & Leakage High allowable ripple current: 160 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.6 A at 300 kHz (high frequency); leakage current specified at 120 µA.
• Reliability and Endurance Rated life of 3000 hours at 125°C; endurance and shelf-life characteristics defined by Nichicon test conditions.
• Temperature Range Operating range from −55°C to 125°C for broad environmental tolerance.
• Package & Mounting SMD radial can (φ8 × 8.7 mm length) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated placement and handling.
• Compliance RoHS-compliant construction consistent with current RoHS directives.
• Soldering Capability Compatible with lead-free reflow profiles with peak temperatures up to 260°C as specified by the series soldering heat conditions.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power filtering — Provides bulk capacitance and energy smoothing where 150 µF at 16 V and low ESR are required.
• Decoupling for power rails — Low ESR and high ripple capability support transient suppression and stable supply rails in compact assemblies.
• SMD module integration — Radial can SMD footprint and embossed carrier taping simplify automated assembly for modules and boards.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: With 1.6 A high-frequency ripple current and 160 mA low-frequency ripple rating, the part supports demanding ripple environments.
• Low ESR performance: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves efficiency in high-frequency applications.
• Long high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C provides predictable endurance for designs exposed to elevated temperatures.
• SMD-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing enable reliable pick-and-place assembly and inventory handling.
• Verified solder compatibility: Reflow-capable to 260°C peak per series guidelines for lead-free assembly processes.
• RoHS compliant: Meets regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing and environmental compliance.
