RKS1C471MCNAJJGS

The RKS1C471MCNAJJGS from Nichicon is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor delivering 470 µF at a rated voltage of 16 V. It is specified for general-purpose applications that require high capacitance in an SMD radial can package with operation from −55 °C to 125 °C.

Key value propositions include low ESR (20 mΩ at 100 kHz, 20 °C), high allowable ripple current (210 mA at 120 Hz, 2.1 A at 300 kHz), and extended high-temperature endurance (3,000 hours at 125 °C), making it suitable where sustained ripple handling and long life at elevated temperatures are required.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 470 µF rated capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Low ESR — 20 mΩ equivalent series resistance measured at 100 kHz, 20 °C to support high-frequency performance.
• High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current 210 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 2.1 A (300 kHz) for robust ripple handling.
• Loss Tangent — tanδ = 0.12 (measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz) for predictable dissipation characteristics.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 376 µA after rated-voltage application.
• Endurance — Tested to 3,000 hours at 125 °C under rated voltage with defined limits for capacitance change, tanδ and ESR.
• Operating Temperature Range — −55 °C to 125 °C to support high-temperature applications.
• Package & Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 10 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for assembly readiness.
• Compliance — Series datasheet indicates RoHS directive compliance (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863).

Typical Applications

• General-purpose power modules — Provides bulk capacitance and ripple handling in compact SMD radial-can form for power conversion and regulation circuits.
• High-temperature industrial electronics — Rated for operation to 125 °C with a 3,000-hour endurance specification for sustained elevated-temperature use.
• High-frequency filtering — Low ESR and a 2.1 A high-frequency ripple rating support filtering and decoupling at higher switching frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• High capacitance in a compact SMD can: 470 µF in a φ10 × 10 mm package enables high energy density where board space is limited.
• Extended high-temperature life: 3,000-hour endurance at 125 °C provides predictable long-term performance in thermal-stressed designs.
• Robust ripple performance: Low ESR (20 mΩ) plus specified low- and high-frequency ripple currents reduce thermal stress and improve reliability in switching environments.
• Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamline surface-mount placement and storage handling.
• Clear electrical characterization: Published tanδ, leakage, ESR and ripple current values make selection and thermal budgeting straightforward.
