RKS1C820MCNAFGGS

The RKS1C820MCNAFGGS is an 82 µF, 16 V surface‑mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor in the Nichicon RKS series. It combines solid conductive polymer chemistry with an SMD can package to deliver low ESR and high allowable ripple current in a compact footprint (φ6.3 × 7.7 mm).

Designed for general‑purpose electronic power applications, the device offers a wide operating temperature range (−55°C to 125°C) and long life performance (3000 hours at 125°C), making it suitable for demanding power decoupling and filtering tasks in constrained board layouts.

Key Features

• Conductive polymer aluminum construction – Solid electrolyte chemistry for stable performance and low equivalent series resistance (ESR).
• Rated capacitance and voltage – 82 µF nominal capacitance at a rated voltage of 16 V, with a tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20°C).
• Low ESR – ESR specified at 30 mΩ (20°C, 100 kHz) to support high-frequency decoupling and minimize loss in switching power circuits.
• High ripple handling – Low‑frequency ripple current 150 mA (120 Hz) and high‑frequency ripple current 1.5 A (300 kHz) for robust performance in switching applications.
• Leakage and dissipation – Leakage current specified at 100 µA and tanδ (loss tangent) of 0.12 at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable electrical behavior.
• Long life and wide temperature range – Endurance rated 3000 hours at 125°C; operating range from −55°C to 125°C for reliable operation under elevated temperature stress.
• SMD can package and mounting – φ6.3 × 7.7 mm radial can in a surface‑mount configuration, supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture‑proof packing for automated assembly.
• Reflow compatibility – Compatible with lead‑free reflow soldering conditions with a peak of 260°C as specified in the series datasheet.
• RoHS compliance – The RKS series is compliant with the RoHS directive (2011/65/EU, (EU)2015/863) as stated in the product documentation.

Typical Applications

• Switching power supplies – Low ESR and 1.5 A high‑frequency ripple capacity support output filtering and decoupling in DC‑DC converters.
• Point‑of‑load decoupling – Compact φ6.3 × 7.7 mm SMD can enables localized bulk capacitance near power rails in space‑constrained boards.
• Power management modules – Long life (3000 h at 125°C) and wide temperature range make it suitable for sustained thermal and electrical stress in power modules.
• General purpose electronic equipment – Polarized 82 µF capacitance and predictable leakage/tanδ values support a variety of general filtering and smoothing tasks.

Unique Advantages

• Low loss, high ripple capability: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and 1.5 A high‑frequency ripple current reduce heating and improve stability in high‑speed power circuits.
• Compact board footprint: φ6.3 × 7.7 mm SMD can delivers significant capacitance in a small package for dense PCB designs.
• High thermal endurance: 3000‑hour life rating at 125°C supports designs exposed to sustained elevated temperatures.
• Predictable electrical behavior: Specified tanδ (0.12) and leakage current (100 µA) allow engineers to model performance and margin accurately.
• Assembly ready: Embossed carrier tape and moisture‑proof packing ease automated placement and handling for production lines.
• RoHS compliant: Meets RoHS requirements noted for the RKS series, simplifying environmental compliance considerations.
