RKS1C561MCNAJLGS

The RKS1C561MCNAJLGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's RKS series. It provides high capacitance (560 µF) at a 16 V rating in a compact SMD radial can package (φ10 × 12.4 mm).

Designed for general-purpose board-level power filtering and decoupling, the part combines low ESR, high allowable ripple current and extended endurance for reliable performance across a wide temperature range (−55 °C to +125 °C).

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 560 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and capacitance tolerance of −20% to +20%.
• Conductive Polymer Electrolyte — Solid conductive polymer construction for stable electrical characteristics and improved ripple handling.
• Low ESR — ESR of 20 mΩ measured at 20 °C and 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency performance and reduced losses.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 200 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 2 A (300 kHz) to support demanding power stages.
• Thermal Range & Endurance — Operating temperature from −55 °C to +125 °C with a rated load life of 3000 hours at 125 °C.
• Dissipation Factor — tan δ of 0.12 measured at 20 °C, 120 Hz, for predictable loss behavior.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 448 µA after application of rated voltage.
• Compact SMD Package — Radial can SMD package, size φ10 × 12.4 mm (L: 1.24 cm × D: 1.00 cm), supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for assembly.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk smoothing and decoupling on PCB power rails where high capacitance and low ESR reduce ripple and stabilize voltage.
• DC-DC Converter Output — Output smoothing in compact converter designs that benefit from the capacitor's high-frequency ripple current capability.
• Embedded and Industrial Electronics — General-purpose board-level energy storage and transient suppression across a wide operating temperature range (−55 °C to +125 °C).

Unique Advantages

• High Capacitance in a Compact SMD Can: 560 µF in a φ10 × 12.4 mm package enables significant bulk energy storage on space-constrained PCBs.
• Low ESR for Efficient Performance: 20 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers conduction losses and improves efficiency in high-frequency circuits.
• Robust Ripple Handling: 2 A high-frequency ripple rating supports demanding switching and power conversion applications.
• Wide Temperature and Long-Life Rating: −55 °C to +125 °C operating range with 3000 hours endurance at 125 °C ensures stability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Surface-Mount Assembly Ready: Radial SMD can packaged with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated placement and reflow processes.
