RKS1C820MCNAHJGS

The RKS1C820MCNAHJGS is a Nichicon RKS series conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor in a surface-mount, radial can package. It delivers 82 µF capacitance at 16 V with low equivalent series resistance and defined loss tangent for reliable power decoupling and bulk energy storage in general-purpose electronics.

Designed for demanding thermal and ripple environments, this part supports operation from −55°C to 125°C and a rated load life of 3000 hours at 125°C, making it suitable for industrial and high-reliability applications that require compact SMD power components.

Key Features

• Capacitance and Voltage — 82 µF nominal capacitance rated at 16 V for mid-voltage power rail decoupling and bulk smoothing.
• Low ESR and High-Frequency Performance — ESR of 25 mΩ measured at 20°C/100 kHz and high-frequency ripple current rating of 1.7 A (at 300 kHz) enable effective high-frequency noise suppression and stable operation under switching loads.
• Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current rating of 170 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency rating of 1.7 A support both line-frequency and switching regulator applications.
• Loss Tangent (tan δ) — tan δ = 0.12 measured at 20°C/120 Hz for predictable dissipation characteristics in AC and ripple environments.
• Robust Temperature and Endurance — Operating range −55°C to 125°C with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 125°C for long-term stability in elevated-temperature systems.
• Package and Mounting — Surface-mount radial can (φ8 × 10 mm) in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly and reliable handling.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current up to 100 µA for predictable standby and bias behavior.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets applicable RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Power supply decoupling — Low ESR and high ripple current ratings make this capacitor suitable for decoupling switching regulators and stabilizing local power rails.
• DC–DC converters — Compact SMD radial can package and 1.7 A high-frequency ripple capability support energy buffering in converter input/output stages.
• Industrial controls — Wide temperature range (−55°C to 125°C) and 3000-hour life at 125°C suit industrial electronics exposed to elevated temperatures.
• General-purpose embedded systems — 82 µF/16 V rating and embossed carrier taping facilitate automated placement in consumer and commercial electronic assemblies.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple tolerance: High-frequency ripple current rating of 1.7 A and low ESR (25 mΩ) reduce heating and voltage ripple on high-speed power rails.
• Thermal endurance: Rated for 3000 hours at 125°C, enabling longer service life in heat-stressed designs.
• Predictable dissipation: Specified tan δ (0.12 at 120 Hz, 20°C) provides consistent loss behavior for thermal and circuit design.
• SMD-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing supports automated surface-mount assembly and storage handling.
• Compact footprint: φ8 × 10 mm can delivers substantial capacitance in a small package for space-constrained boards.
• RoHS compliance: Meets environmental requirements for restricted substances.
