Overview of RKS1C271MCNAFGGS – 270 µF, 16 V Surface‑Mount Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor
The RKS1C271MCNAFGGS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the RKS series, offering 270 µF capacitance at 16 V. Designed for general-purpose SMD power applications, it combines high capacitance, low equivalent series resistance and a long endurance rating for reliable performance across a wide temperature range.
This part is optimized for applications that require low ESR and substantial ripple handling in a compact radial can SMD package (φ6.3 × 7.7 mm), and is supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage – 270 µF rated capacitance at 16 V with a tolerance of −20% to +20% for predictable decoupling and bulk energy storage.
- Low ESR – ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, reducing voltage drop and heat under AC ripple conditions.
- High Ripple Current Capability – Supports 150 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.5 A at 300 kHz (high frequency), enabling effective smoothing in switching power stages.
- Extended Temperature & Endurance – Rated for −55°C to +125°C with a life/endurance of 3000 hours at 125°C for demanding thermal environments.
- Dielectric & Loss – Conductive polymer construction with a tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz for stable AC performance.
- Surface-Mount Package – Radial can SMD (φ6.3 × 7.7 mm) suited for automated PCB assembly; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing.
- RoHS Compliant – Manufactured in compliance with RoHS directives.
Typical Applications
- Power supply decoupling – Low ESR and high ripple current capability make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and decoupling on power rails in compact SMD layouts.
- DC–DC converter outputs – 270 µF capacitance and 1.5 A high-frequency ripple rating support output filtering in switching regulators and point-of-load stages.
- Industrial and telecom power modules – Extended temperature range (−55°C to +125°C) and 3000-hour life at 125°C provide durability for equipment operating under thermal stress.
- General-purpose SMD power circuits – Polarized radial can SMD package and embossed tape packaging streamline placement and reflow assembly for a variety of board-level power functions.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple tolerance: 1.5 A at high frequency and 150 mA at low frequency help reduce the number of capacitors needed for ripple management.
- Low ESR performance: 30 mΩ at 100 kHz reduces conduction losses and improves efficiency in switching applications.
- Robust thermal endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C provides long-term stability in high-temperature operating conditions.
- Compact SMD form factor: φ6.3 × 7.7 mm radial can SMD fits space-constrained designs while supporting automated assembly with embossed carrier tape.
- Stable AC characteristics: tan δ of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz supports consistent performance across AC loading conditions.
- Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and manufacturing requirements.
