RKS1C151MCNAJJGS

The RKS1C151MCNAJJGS is a surface-mount, conductive-polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the Nichicon RKS series. It delivers 150 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating with low ESR and high allowable ripple current for demanding power applications.

Designed for general-purpose electronic designs that require stable capacitance across a wide temperature range, this SMD can supports high-frequency decoupling and bulk energy storage where long life and thermal endurance are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Tolerance — 150 µF nominal capacitance with tolerance of -20% to +20% measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating suitable for common low-voltage power rails.
• Low ESR — ESR of 20 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, enabling reduced power loss and improved efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 210 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2.1 A (300 kHz) for robust handling of transient and switching noise.
• Leakage & Loss Angle — Leakage current specified at 120 µA and tanδ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz), supporting predictable loss and standby behavior.
• Temperature & Endurance — Rated for operation from -55°C to +125°C with a life/endurance specification of 3000 hours at 125°C.
• SMD Package & Packaging — φ10 × 10L can-style SMD (radial, can - SMD) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Series-Level Characteristics — Constructed as a conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in the RKS series, designed for low impedance and long life under elevated temperature conditions.
• Lead-free Reflow Compatibility — Series data supports lead-free reflow soldering with peak temperatures up to 260°C.

Typical Applications

• Power Rail Decoupling — Use on 16 V power rails to suppress switching noise and stabilize DC-DC converter outputs where low ESR and high ripple handling are important.
• Bulk Energy Storage — Provides local bulk capacitance for power-management circuits that need reliable charge buffering over a wide temperature range.
• Switch-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) — Suited for input/output filtering in SMPS designs thanks to low ESR and high-frequency ripple capability.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Handling: 2.1 A high-frequency ripple rating and low ESR reduce thermal stress and losses in switching applications.
• Extended High-Temperature Life: 3000 hours endurance at 125°C provides predictable performance in thermally constrained designs.
• Predictable Loss Characteristics: Specified tanδ and leakage current values enable accurate power-loss and standby current budgeting.
• SMD Packaging for Automated Assembly: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamline surface-mount production flows.
• Lead-Free Reflow Ready: Compatibility with 260°C peak lead-free reflow processes simplifies integration into modern assembly processes.
• Wide Operating Range: -55°C to +125°C rating supports use across a broad set of environmental conditions without derating capacitor function.
