Overview of RKS1C560MCNAFEGS – Surface Mount Conductive Polymer Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 56 µF, 16 V
The RKS1C560MCNAFEGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon's RKS series, rated at 56 µF and 16 V. It combines low ESR and low loss (tanδ) with high allowable ripple current and a wide operating temperature range for reliable performance in general-purpose electronic assemblies.
Designed for SMD assembly, this part delivers a compact φ6.3 × 5.8 mm can-style footprint with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated production and storage.
Key Features
- Core Type — Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte construction providing stable capacitance and low loss characteristics.
- Electrical Performance — 56 µF capacitance at 16 V with capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% and tanδ (DF) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz.
- Low ESR — ESR specified at 50 mΩ (20°C, 100 kHz) to support efficient high-frequency performance.
- Ripple Handling — Low-frequency ripple current of 100 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1 A (300 kHz) for demanding ripple environments.
- Reliability & Lifetime — Rated life of 3000 hours at 125°C under rated voltage conditions; endurance and shelf-life characteristics are specified in the series datasheet.
- Temperature Range — Wide operating range from -55°C to +125°C for use across harsh thermal environments.
- Packaging for Production — Supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated pick-and-place and storage; mass production status.
- Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant per provided product information.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose electronic circuits — Suitable where a reliable SMD polarized capacitor is required for general-purpose capacitance needs.
- High-ripple SMD power circuits — Low ESR (50 mΩ at 100 kHz) and allowance for up to 1 A high-frequency ripple current accommodate SMD power rails and converters with elevated ripple demands.
- High-temperature electronics — Rated for operation to 125°C with a 3000-hour life at 125°C for applications exposed to elevated temperatures.
- Space-constrained surface-mount designs — Compact φ6.3 × 5.8 mm can-style SMD package for dense board layouts and automated assembly.
Unique Advantages
- High allowable ripple current: Specified 1 A at 300 kHz (high-frequency) and 100 mA at 120 Hz (low-frequency) to support ripple-heavy power stages.
- Low ESR and low dissipation factor: 50 mΩ ESR (20°C, 100 kHz) and tanδ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) help minimize losses and heat generation in high-frequency circuits.
- Wide operating temperature and proven endurance: -55°C to +125°C range with 3000 hours rated life at 125°C for robust performance in demanding thermal environments.
- SMD-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing enable automated handling and storage for high-volume production.
- Manufacturing compatibility: Series datasheet specifies lead-free reflow soldering conditions (peak 260°C) for standard SMD assembly processes.
- RoHS compliance: Meets RoHS requirements as noted in the product information.
