Overview of RKS1C271MCNAHFGS – Surface-Mount Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor, 270 µF, 16 V
The RKS1C271MCNAHFGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 270 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is designed for general-purpose electronic assemblies that require a compact SMD can with low equivalent series resistance and high allowable ripple current.
Key value comes from its combination of low ESR (30 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz), high-frequency ripple capability (1.6 A at 300 kHz), and long thermal endurance (3000 hours at 125°C), delivered in a φ8 × 6.7 mm footprint with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance with rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of -20% to 20%.
- Low ESR & Ripple Performance — ESR 30 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz; low-frequency ripple current 160 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.6 A at 300 kHz.
- Thermal Range & Endurance — Operating temperature range from -55°C to 125°C and rated load life of 3000 hours at 125°C under rated voltage.
- Dielectric Loss & Leakage — Dissipation factor (tan δ) of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz and specified leakage current of 216 µA.
- Construction & Package — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic SMD (radial, can) in a compact φ8 × 6.7 mm package suitable for surface-mount assembly.
- Assembly Compatibility — Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering conditions up to 260°C peak (reflow two times maximum), per series soldering specifications.
- Packaging & Availability — Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; product status: mass production. RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronics — Surface-mount capacitor for assemblies requiring 270 µF/16 V bulk capacitance with controlled ESR and long thermal life.
- Power supply decoupling and bulk smoothing — Low ESR and high allowable ripple current support voltage stability in compact power modules and boards.
- High-frequency power circuits — Performance specified at 100 kHz and ripple rating at 300 kHz make it suitable where high-frequency ripple handling is needed in an SMD form factor.
Unique Advantages
- Low ESR for reduced ripple — 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz minimizes loss and helps maintain stable voltages under ripple loads.
- High ripple capability — 1.6 A ripple current at 300 kHz supports demanding high-frequency applications while the 160 mA rating at 120 Hz addresses low-frequency needs.
- Long high-temperature life — Rated 3000 hours at 125°C ensures extended endurance in thermally stressed environments.
- Compact SMD can — φ8 × 6.7 mm package provides a small footprint for space-constrained PCB designs without sacrificing capacitance.
- Reflow-compatible assembly — Lead-free reflow up to 260°C peak (two passes max) simplifies automated soldering processes.
- Production-ready packaging — Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing support high-volume pick-and-place assembly.
