RKS1C680MCNAHFGS

The RKS1C680MCNAHFGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor from Nichicon's RKS series. It provides 68 µF capacitance at a 16 V rating in a compact φ8 × 6.7 mm SMD can package with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.

Designed for general-purpose electronic applications, this part combines low ESR and high allowable ripple current with a wide operating temperature range and a 3000‑hour endurance rating at 125°C for reliable performance in demanding thermal environments.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 68 µF nominal capacitance with a 16 V rated voltage and ±20% tolerance for bulk decoupling and energy storage in compact SMD designs.
• Conductive Polymer Construction — Solid polymer electrolyte construction for stable electrical characteristics and reduced equivalent series resistance compared to some traditional electrolytics.
• Low ESR — ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 20°C, 100 kHz, supporting efficient high-frequency performance and reduced power loss.
• High Ripple Capability — Low-frequency ripple current of 160 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current of 1.6 A at 300 kHz to handle dynamic load currents.
• Wide Temperature Range and Endurance — Operating temperature from −55°C to +125°C with a rated life of 3000 hours at 125°C, supporting long-term operation in elevated-temperature environments.
• Loss Tangent and Leakage — tan δ of 0.12 (20°C, 120 Hz) and leakage current specified at 100 µA, enabling predictable performance for precision designs.
• SMD Package and Assembly — Radial, can-style SMD package (φ8 × 6.7 mm) compatible with lead-free reflow soldering (peak 260°C per series guidance) and supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for manufacturing ease.
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements as stated in product data.

Typical Applications

• General‑Purpose Power Filtering — Suited for general-purpose circuits that benefit from low ESR and elevated ripple current handling within a compact SMD can.
• High‑Temperature Electronics — Applicable where components must operate reliably up to 125°C, backed by a 3000‑hour endurance rating at that temperature.
• High‑Frequency Decoupling — Low ESR and specified 100 kHz measurement support decoupling in circuits operating at higher switching frequencies.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple-current tolerance: Specified 1.6 A at 300 kHz and 160 mA at 120 Hz enable robust handling of dynamic currents and reduce voltage ripple on power rails.
• Low ESR for efficiency: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers I²R losses and improves thermal performance in high-frequency applications.
• Extended high‑temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C provides predictable lifetime behavior in thermally challenging designs.
• Compact SMD can package: φ8 × 6.7 mm dimensions deliver high capacitance per volume for space-constrained board layouts while supporting standard automated assembly.
• Stable electrical characteristics: tan δ of 0.12 and a leakage current limit of 100 µA give designers verifiable parameters for system-level budgeting.
• Manufacturing-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies handling and reduces exposure risk during storage and assembly.
