RKS1C820MCNAHGGS

The RKS1C820MCNAHGGS is a surface‑mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for general‑purpose power applications. It delivers 82 µF capacitance at 16 V with a compact φ8 × 7.7 mm SMD can package suitable for automated assembly.

Designed for demanding thermal and ripple environments, this Nichicon RKS series part provides low ESR, high allowable ripple current, and a 3000‑hour load life at 125°C for reliable long‑term operation in industrial and consumer electronic systems.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 82 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 16 V and tolerance of −20% to +20% at 20°C, 120 Hz.
• Low Loss (tan δ) — tanδ of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz for predictable dissipation characteristics in filtering and decoupling roles.
• Low ESR & High‑Frequency Performance — ESR of 30 mΩ at 20°C/100 kHz, supporting stable impedance at high frequencies and enabling higher ripple handling.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Rated ripple current of 160 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.6 A at 300 kHz (high frequency) to support switching power supplies and converters.
• Leakage Current — Leakage current specified at 100 µA, meeting common system leakage constraints after voltage application.
• Extended Temperature & Endurance — Operating range from −55°C to +125°C with a rated load life of 3000 hours at 125°C for extended reliability in elevated temperature environments.
• Surface‑Mount Package & Assembly — SMD radial can (φ8 × 7.7 mm) in embossed carrier taping and moisture‑proof packing; designed for lead‑free reflow soldering with compatibility up to a 260°C peak reflow profile.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Power Supply Filtering — Bulk and post‑regulation smoothing where 82 µF capacitance and low ESR improve transient response and reduce output ripple.
• DC‑DC Converter Output — Output filtering for point‑of‑load converters that require high ripple tolerance and stable impedance at switching frequencies.
• Industrial Controls — General‑purpose decoupling in industrial electronics that operate across −55°C to 125°C and demand long life at elevated temperatures.
• Consumer and Communication Devices — General smoothing and decoupling in compact SMD assemblies where space and automated assembly are priorities.

Unique Advantages

• High Ripple Endurance: 1.6 A ripple capability at 300 kHz and 160 mA at 120 Hz enables use in high‑frequency switching environments without excessive heating.
• Low ESR for Efficient Filtering: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces loss and improves high‑frequency performance, helping maintain stable supply rails.
• Robust Thermal Lifetime: 3000 hours at 125°C provides long‑term reliability for designs exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
• SMD Can with Reflow Compatibility: φ8 × 7.7 mm SMD can packaged for embossed carrier taping and lead‑free reflow up to 260°C peak supports modern assembly flows.
• Predictable Leakage and Loss Characteristics: Specified leakage current (100 µA) and tanδ (0.12) simplify power budget and thermal design considerations.
• RoHS Compliant: Meets RoHS directive requirements for regulatory alignment in commercial products.
