RKS1C151MCNAHJGS

The RKS1C151MCNAHJGS 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 ESR and high allowable ripple current for general-purpose power-decoupling and smoothing applications.

Designed for demanding thermal and duty-cycle environments, the part combines a wide operating temperature range and long endurance for robust performance in industrial and embedded electronic designs.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance, rated for 16 V operation.
• Low ESR & High-Frequency Performance — ESR of 25 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz and a high-frequency ripple current rating of 1.7 A (300 kHz), supporting stable operation under high switching conditions.
• Ripple Current (Low Frequency) — 170 mA at 120 Hz for bulk filtering and low-frequency ripple management.
• Loss Tangent — tan δ = 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, for predictable reactive behavior in AC conditions.
• Leakage Current — Typical leakage current specified at 120 µA after application of rated voltage conditions.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated for –55°C to +125°C with a load life of 3000 hours at 125°C, suitable for long-duration high-temperature use.
• Package & Mounting — φ8 × 10 mm can-style SMD (radial, can - SMD) for surface-mount assembly; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing.
• Reflow Compatibility — SMD lead-free reflow soldering condition supported up to a 260°C peak (per manufacturer soldering profile).
• RoHS Compliance — Compliant with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Decoupling — Low ESR and 1.7 A high-frequency ripple capability make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and decoupling on 16 V rails in switching power supplies.
• DC–DC Converter Output Filtering — High allowable high-frequency ripple current and low loss tangent support stable output filtering in compact converter designs.
• Industrial and Embedded Systems — Wide operating temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) and 3000-hour endurance at 125°C provide reliability for long-life, high-temperature applications.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: 1.7 A at 300 kHz and 170 mA at 120 Hz reduce voltage ripple and heat buildup in high-switching environments.
• Low ESR for improved efficiency: 25 mΩ (100 kHz, 20°C) minimizes conduction losses and supports tighter regulation in power rails.
• Robust thermal endurance: Rated –55°C to +125°C with 3000 hours at 125°C, enabling reliable performance under sustained elevated temperatures.
• Compact SMD can form factor: φ8 × 10 mm package offers a high-capacitance option in a small surface-mount enclosure for board-space-constrained designs.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing and compatible with lead-free reflow up to 260°C.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports use in designs targeting restricted-substance conformity.
