RKS1C151MCNAJLGS

The RKS1C151MCNAJLGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor manufactured by Nichicon. It delivers 150 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ10 × 12.4 mm SMD can package and is polarized for board-level power applications.

Designed for general-purpose electronic use, this part combines low ESR, substantial ripple-current capability and extended high-temperature endurance to support compact power and decoupling designs that require reliable performance across –55°C to 125°C.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 150 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid polymer chemistry for stable electrical characteristics and predictable behavior under load.
• Low ESR — ESR of 20 mΩ measured at 20°C and 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated low-frequency ripple current of 200 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 2 A at 300 kHz for demanding power applications.
• Loss Angle (tan δ) — tan δ of 0.12 measured at 20°C and 120 Hz for clear dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 120 µA after application of rated voltage.
• Extended Endurance — Load life of 3000 hours at 125°C, enabling long-term operation in elevated temperature environments.
• Package and Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 12.4 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing, suitable for automated assembly.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.
• Reflow Capability — SMD type designed for lead-free reflow soldering with peak temperature correspondence up to 260°C as specified for the series.

Typical Applications

• General-purpose electronics — Intended for broad use across power-management and decoupling functions in consumer and industrial boards requiring polarized high-capacitance SMD components.
• High-temperature systems — Suitable for designs that operate up to 125°C, leveraging the capacitor’s 3000-hour endurance at elevated temperature.
• High ripple-current circuits — Useful in circuits with significant AC ripple or switching noise, benefiting from the specified 2 A high-frequency ripple rating and low ESR.

Unique Advantages

• Compact high-capacitance SMD solution: 150 µF in a φ10 × 12.4 mm SMD can provides significant capacitance density for space-constrained PCBs.
• Low ESR for efficient filtering: 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces losses and improves performance in high-frequency decoupling and filtering tasks.
• Robust ripple handling: Combined low- and high-frequency ripple specifications (200 mA @120 Hz, 2 A @300 kHz) support a range of power-supply topologies.
• High-temperature endurance: 3000 hours rated life at 125°C helps ensure reliable operation in thermally demanding environments.
• Production-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamline automated assembly and handling.
• Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious product development and manufacturing.
