RKS1C560MCNAHFGS

The RKS1C560MCNAHFGS is a surface-mount conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in Nichicon’s RKS series. It delivers 56 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ8 × 6.7 mm SMD can, designed for general-purpose power applications where low ESR and high ripple tolerance matter.

Engineered for robust operation, the part provides low-loss performance (tanδ 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz), wide operating temperature from −55°C to +125°C, and a rated load life of 3000 hours at 125°C—making it suitable for compact, high-reliability electronic systems.

Key Features

• Core Technology — Conductive-polymer aluminum solid electrolytic construction for stable capacitance and low equivalent series resistance.
• Capacitance & Tolerance — 56 µF with tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Rated Voltage — 16 V DC nominal.
• Low Loss / Dampening — Tangent of loss angle (tanδ) 0.12 at 20°C/120 Hz for efficient AC handling.
• Low ESR & High Ripple Capability — ESR 30 mΩ (measured at 100 kHz/20°C); low-frequency ripple current 160 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.6 A at 300 kHz.
• Reliability & Endurance — Rated load life of 3000 hours at 125°C; leakage current specified at 100 µA (or as defined by 0.05CV rule in datasheet conditioning).
• Temperature Range — Wide operating range from −55°C to +125°C for demanding thermal environments.
• SMD Packaging & Assembly — Radial can SMD package (φ8 × 6.7 mm) supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering conditions up to 260°C peak as specified for the series.
• RoHS Compliance — Conforms to RoHS directive requirements as noted in the series documentation.

Typical Applications

• Power-supply decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple capability make the capacitor suitable for smoothing and decoupling in compact power modules and voltage regulators.
• DC–DC converter output filtering — High-frequency ripple current rating (1.6 A at 300 kHz) supports use on converter outputs where high-speed switching currents are present.
• Embedded and industrial electronics — Small footprint and long load life at elevated temperature (3000 hours at 125°C) support space-constrained designs that require durability across a wide temperature range.
• General-purpose SMD designs — Polarized, surface-mount form factor and embossed carrier taping packaging streamline automated assembly for a variety of electronic products.

Unique Advantages

• Compact, high-capacitance SMD format: 56 µF in a φ8 × 6.7 mm can enables higher energy storage in small board area.
• Low ESR for tighter voltage regulation: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz helps reduce voltage ripple and improve transient response in power circuits.
• High ripple tolerance across frequencies: Specified ripple currents at both 120 Hz and 300 kHz accommodate low- and high-frequency applications.
• Designed for high-temperature endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C supports long-term reliability in thermally demanding environments.
• Manufacturing-friendly packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing and reflow compatibility simplify automated assembly and handling.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS conformity reduces integration risk for markets requiring restricted-substance compliance.
