RKS1C471MCNAHHGS

The RKS1C471MCNAHHGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose electronics where high capacitance, low ESR and robust thermal endurance are required. It provides 470 µF at 16 V in a compact φ8 × 8.7 mm can-style SMD package optimized for applications that demand sustained ripple handling and long life at elevated temperature.

Key value propositions include a low equivalent series resistance (30 mΩ at 100 kHz), high allowable ripple current (1.6 A at 300 kHz), and a rated endurance of 3000 hours at 125°C, delivering stability and reliability in power management and decoupling roles.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Low Loss / High Ripple Handling — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current capability of 1.6 A (300 kHz), enabling effective filtering under AC ripple stress.
• Low ESR — Equivalent series resistance of 30 mΩ measured at 20°C / 100 kHz for improved power efficiency and reduced heating in high-frequency environments.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 376 µA after rated-voltage application, supporting predictable standby and bias performance.
• Extended Temperature & Endurance — Operating range from −55°C to +125°C with a rated life of 3000 hours at 125°C, designed for sustained performance in elevated-temperature assemblies.
• SMD Radial Can Package — Compact φ8 × 8.7 mm radial can (SMD) package with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
• Reflow Compatibility — Compatible with lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to a 260°C peak per the product series soldering recommendations.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Power Management Modules — Provides bulk capacitance and low ESR for DC–DC converters and voltage regulators where ripple suppression and thermal endurance are required.
• High-Frequency Power Circuits — Suited to circuits that demand high-frequency ripple current capability thanks to its 1.6 A (300 kHz) rating and 30 mΩ ESR.
• General-Purpose Electronic Equipment — Designed for a wide range of general-purpose applications that require stable capacitance across −55°C to +125°C and long operational life.

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Small Footprint: 470 µF in a φ8 × 8.7 mm SMD can delivers significant energy storage in space-constrained designs.
• Improved Thermal Endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C provides long-term reliability for assemblies exposed to sustained high temperatures.
