Overview of RKS1C271MCNAHJGS – 270 µF, 16 V Conductive Polymer Aluminum SMD Electrolytic Capacitor
The RKS1C271MCNAHJGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's RKS series. It delivers 270 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ8 × 10 mm SMD can, combining high capacitance density with low equivalent series resistance for general-purpose electronic designs.
Designed for demanding thermal and ripple environments, this part offers long life (3000 hours at 125°C), broad operating temperature range (−55°C to 125°C), and packaging suited for automated assembly.
Key Features
- Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for stable electrical performance in a compact SMD can.
- Capacitance & Voltage 270 µF nominal capacitance with a −20% to +20% tolerance at a 16 V rated voltage.
- Low Loss / High Frequency Performance Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz; ESR of 25 mΩ measured at 20°C, 100 kHz for improved high-frequency behavior.
- Ripple Current Capability Low-frequency ripple current 170 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.7 A (300 kHz), supporting effective smoothing under dynamic loads.
- Reliability & Endurance Rated life of 3000 hours at 125°C; designed to meet endurance and shelf-life conditions outlined for the RKS series.
- Thermal Range Wide operating temperature range from −55°C to 125°C for use across harsh thermal environments.
- Package & Assembly φ8 × 10 mm radial can in SMD format; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing and compatible with lead-free reflow up to 260°C as specified for the series.
- Compliance RoHS-compliant construction and available in mass-production quantities.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronics — For surface-mount designs that require a 270 µF, 16 V capacitor with low ESR and measurable ripple capacity.
- Compact power modules — Small φ8 × 10 mm SMD package for space-constrained boards where high capacitance density is needed.
- High-temperature systems — Suitable for designs operating across −55°C to 125°C and requiring long endurance at elevated temperature.
Unique Advantages
- High capacitance in an SMD can: 270 µF nominal in a φ8 × 10 mm package provides substantial bulk capacitance without a large footprint.
- Low ESR for efficient filtering: 25 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz supports effective high-frequency decoupling and reduced loss under AC stress.
- Strong ripple handling: Rated ripple currents of 170 mA (120 Hz) and 1.7 A (300 kHz) enable reliable operation under varying load conditions.
- Long-term thermal endurance: 3000 hours rated life at 125°C and −55°C to 125°C operating range provide predictable behavior in elevated temperature applications.
- Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing and series-level reflow compatibility (260°C peak) support automated SMT assembly.
- Regulatory compliance and availability: RoHS-compliant and in mass production for dependable supply.
