RKS1C152MCNAJLGS

The RKS1C152MCNAJLGS is a surface‑mount conductive‑polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's RKS series. It delivers 1500 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ10 × 12.4 mm can‑style SMD package designed for high ripple environments and long life.

With low equivalent series resistance (20 mΩ at 100 kHz), high allowable ripple current (2.0 A at high frequency), and a rated endurance of 3000 hours at 125°C, this part addresses general‑purpose power filtering and bulk decoupling requirements in space‑constrained assemblies.

Key Features

• Conductive‑polymer aluminum construction — Solid electrolyte technology for stable performance and low loss compared with traditional wet electrolytes.
• High capacitance, compact SMD package — 1500 µF in a φ10 × 12.4 mm (L 12.4 mm, D 10 mm) radial can SMD package for high energy density on board.
• Rated voltage and tolerance — 16 V rated voltage with ±20% capacitance tolerance at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Low ESR at high frequency — 20 mΩ specified at 100 kHz, enabling effective high‑frequency filtering.
• High allowable ripple current — 2.0 A at high frequency (300 kHz) and 200 mA at low frequency (120 Hz) to support switching and high‑ripple applications.
• Long life and wide temperature range — 3000 hours endurance at 125°C and operating range from −55°C to +125°C for sustained high‑temperature use.
• Electrical loss and leakage — tanδ 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current specified at 1200 µA.
• Production and packaging — Available in embossed carrier taping with moisture proof packing; mass production status and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power rail filtering — Low ESR (20 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high ripple capability make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and filtering on DC power rails.
• Bulk decoupling in compact power modules — 1500 µF in a compact φ10 × 12.4 mm SMD can provides board‑level bulk energy storage where space is limited.
• High‑temperature power subsystems — Rated for operation to 125°C with 3000 hours endurance at 125°C for sustained performance in hot environments.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: 2.0 A high‑frequency ripple current rating supports demanding switching and high‑ripple loads.
• Low high‑frequency loss: 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tanδ 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) reduce heating and improve filtering performance.
• Compact, board‑friendly form factor: SMD radial can (φ10 × 12.4 mm) delivers large capacitance without a large PCB footprint.
• Elevated temperature endurance: 3000‑hour rated life at 125°C provides predictable longevity in high‑temperature applications.
• Production‑ready supply: Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture proof packing and available in mass production quantities.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliant for use in lead‑free assemblies.
