RKS1C271MCNAJJGS

The RKS1C271MCNAJJGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's RKS series, rated at 270 µF and 16 V. It combines high capacitance in a compact SMD can with low equivalent series resistance and robust ripple-current capability.

Designed for general-purpose power filtering and decoupling, this capacitor offers a broad operating range (−55 °C to 125 °C) and a long endurance rating (3000 hours at 125 °C), making it suitable for applications that demand stable performance under thermal and electrical stress.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 270 µF nominal capacitance at 16 V rated voltage with tolerance ±20%.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Handling — ESR of 20 mΩ measured at 20 °C / 100 kHz and high-frequency ripple current rated at 2.1 A (300 kHz), with 210 mA at 120 Hz for low-frequency ripple handling.
• Thermal Range & Endurance — Operating temperature from −55 °C to 125 °C and load life of 3000 hours at 125 °C under rated conditions.
• Electrical Stability — Loss tangent (tan δ) of 0.12 at 20 °C / 120 Hz and specified leakage current of 216 µA.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 10 L, approximately 1 cm × 1 cm) suitable for automated placement; supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing.
• Manufacturing Compatibility — Lead-free reflow soldering compatibility with a 260 °C peak soldering condition as specified for the series.
• Regulatory — Compliant to the RoHS directive as stated in the product series documentation.

Typical Applications

• Power supply decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple-current capability make it effective for smoothing and decoupling on power rails.
• DC–DC converters and point-of-load filtering — Compact SMD can with high capacitance supports input/output filtering where high-frequency ripple is present.
• Industrial power modules — Wide operating temperature and long life rating support sustained performance in thermally demanding environments.
• General-purpose electronic equipment — Suitable for a range of designs that require reliable bulk capacitance in a small surface-mount package.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: Rated 2.1 A at high frequency (300 kHz) and 210 mA at 120 Hz, enabling effective handling of AC stress in switching circuits.
• Low ESR for efficient filtering: 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces loss and voltage drop in power stages, improving regulator stability and efficiency.
• Wide temperature range and long life: −55 °C to 125 °C operation with a 3000-hour endurance rating at 125 °C supports long-term, high-temperature deployment.
• Compact SMD can footprint: φ10 × 10 mm size provides substantial capacitance in a small board area for space-constrained designs.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging: Supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture-proof packing and compatible with lead-free reflow up to 260 °C for standard SMT assembly flows.
• Stable electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ (0.12 at 20 °C/120 Hz) and controlled leakage current support predictable behavior across product life.
