Overview of RKS1C271MCNAHHGS – 270 µF, 16 V Conductive-Polymer SMD Capacitor
The RKS1C271MCNAHHGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor offering 270 µF capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V. It combines high capacitance density in a compact radial can SMD package (φ8 × 8.7 mm) for general-purpose electronic designs.
Designed for applications that demand low ESR and substantial ripple handling, this RoHS-compliant capacitor is available in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing and is in mass production.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Tolerance — 270 µF nominal with a tolerance of -20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
- Rated Voltage — 16 V DC rating suitable for many low-voltage power rails and general-purpose circuits.
- Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 30 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, enabling lower power loss and improved high-frequency performance.
- High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 160 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.6 A (300 kHz) for tolerance to dynamic load conditions.
- Thermal Endurance — Rated for operation from -55°C to +125°C with a life endurance specification of 3000 hours at 125°C.
- Leakage & Dissipation — Leakage current specified at 216 µA and tan δ (dissipation factor) of 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz.
- Package & Handling — Radial can SMD (φ8 × 8.7 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronics — Provides bulk capacitance in compact SMD format for a wide range of consumer, industrial, and instrumentation circuits requiring stable capacitance over temperature.
- Power supply filtering and decoupling — Low ESR (30 mΩ at 100 kHz) and high-frequency ripple capability (1.6 A at 300 kHz) make it suitable for smoothing and decoupling on low-voltage power rails.
- High-temperature environments — Endurance rating of 3000 hours at 125°C supports designs that must withstand elevated operating temperatures.
Unique Advantages
- High capacitance in a compact SMD can — 270 µF in a φ8 × 8.7 mm package reduces board area while delivering significant bulk energy storage.
- Improved transient handling — Low ESR and high allowable ripple currents help reduce voltage ripple and thermal stress under dynamic loads.
- Long thermal life — 3000-hour endurance at 125°C provides measurable reliability for designs exposed to sustained high temperatures.
- Process-ready packaging — Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated surface-mount assembly flows.
- Stable electrical characteristics — Specified tan δ and leakage current values at standard test conditions for predictable circuit behavior.
