RKS1C471MCNAHJGS

The RKS1C471MCNAHJGS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor providing 470 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating. It is designed for general-purpose electronic designs that require high capacitance in a compact SMD can package.

Key value propositions include a low ESR (25 mΩ at 100 kHz), robust ripple-current capability, and long load life rated 3000 hours at 125°C—features that support reliable power decoupling and filtering in space‑constrained assemblies.

Key Features

• Dielectric / Core: Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte—provides solid‑electrolyte performance in an SMD can format.
• Capacitance & Tolerance: 470 µF nominal with tolerance of −20% to +20% measured at 120 Hz, 20°C.
• Voltage Rating: 16 V DC rated voltage suitable for many low‑voltage power rails.
• Low ESR: 25 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz, enabling lower loss and improved transient response.
• Ripple Current Capability: 170 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.7 A at 300 kHz (high frequency) for handling AC content on DC rails.
• Leakage Current: Specified leakage current of 376 µA (typical condition provided in product data).
• High Temperature Endurance: Rated for operation from −55°C to +125°C with a life/endurance rating of 3000 hours at 125°C.
• Package & Mounting: Surface-mount radial can (φ8 × 10L mm); packaged in embossed carrier taping with moisture‑proof packing for mass production handling.
• Standards & Process: Lead‑free reflow soldering compatibility to a 260°C peak is supported per series guidance; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• General Purpose Electronics — Provides bulk capacitance for surface‑mount designs requiring 470 µF at 16 V for smoothing and energy storage.
• Power Supply Decoupling — Low ESR and specified ripple current allow use on low‑voltage power rails where reduced impedance at high frequency is required.
• Compact SMD Assemblies — Small φ8 × 10L can package fits space‑constrained boards where high capacitance density is needed.

Unique Advantages

• Low ESR (25 mΩ): Reduces conduction losses and improves transient response on supply rails.
• High Ripple Handling: Rated ripple currents of 170 mA (120 Hz) and 1.7 A (300 kHz) support both low‑ and high‑frequency AC content on DC lines.
• Wide Operating Temperature Range: −55°C to +125°C operation with 3000 h life at 125°C delivers durability in demanding thermal conditions.
• Compact Surface‑Mount Format: φ8 × 10L radial SMD can enables high capacitance in a small board footprint and is supplied in embossed carrier taping for automated assembly.
• Predictable Leakage Performance: Specified leakage current of 376 µA supports predictable power‑loss budgeting in designs.
• RoHS Compliant & Reflow Compatible: Lead‑free reflow compatibility and RoHS compliance simplify assembly and regulatory considerations.
