Overview of RKS1D680MCNAHJGS – 68 µF, 20 V Surface-Mount Conductive Polymer Aluminum Capacitor
The RKS1D680MCNAHJGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose power applications. It delivers 68 µF at 20 V with low ESR and high allowable ripple current, packaged for automated assembly and long-term operation in elevated temperatures.
Targeted at engineers and procurement for embedded and power systems, this part offers a combination of high-frequency performance, a wide operating temperature range, and a rated load life of 3000 hours at 125°C for robust performance in demanding environments.
Key Features
- Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF capacitance with a rated voltage of 20 V and capacitance tolerance of ±20% (–20%~20%).
- Low Loss & Dissipation — Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) of 0.12 measured at 20°C, 120 Hz, supporting efficient energy handling in AC components.
- Low ESR — ESR of 25 mΩ specified at 20°C, 100 kHz, enabling reduced heat generation and improved ripple performance.
- High Ripple Current — Low-frequency ripple current of 170 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current of 1.7 A (300 kHz) for effective smoothing in power circuits.
- Reliability & Life — Rated for 3000 hours at 125°C; operating temperature range from –55°C to 125°C for extended durability under thermal stress.
- Leakage Current — Specified leakage current of 100 µA after standard conditioning.
- Surface-Mount Packaging — Radial can SMD package, size φ8 × 10 mm (L: 1 cm × D: 0.8 cm), supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
- RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS directive requirements as specified in the product documentation.
Typical Applications
- General-purpose power supply filtering — Low ESR and 1.7 A high-frequency ripple current make this capacitor suitable for smoothing and decoupling in DC-DC converters and power rails.
- High-temperature electronics — The –55°C to 125°C range and 3000-hour life at 125°C support use in designs exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
- Automated SMD assembly — Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing, plus compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles, simplify high-volume surface-mount production.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple capability: 1.7 A high-frequency ripple and low ESR (25 mΩ) reduce voltage ripple and thermal stress on the capacitor in power circuits.
- Thermal endurance: 3000 hours at 125°C and a wide operating temperature range provide predictable lifetime behavior in hot operating environments.
- Compact SMD form factor: φ8 × 10 mm radial can SMD package offers a small PCB footprint while retaining substantial capacitance and current handling.
- Manufacturing-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamline pick-and-place and reflow processes for volume assembly.
- Measured electrical characteristics: Specified tan δ, ESR at 100 kHz, and leakage current figures enable designers to model performance precisely in system simulations.
