Overview of RKS1E150MCNAFEGS – Conductive Polymer Aluminum Solid SMD Capacitor, 15 µF, 25 V
The RKS1E150MCNAFEGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolytic capacitor designed for compact power applications. It provides 15 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating with low ESR and high allowable ripple current for demanding decoupling and smoothing tasks.
Built for wide operating conditions, this polarized SMD capacitor supports an operating temperature range of −55 °C to 125 °C and a rated life of 3000 hours at 125 °C, making it suitable for designs that require sustained performance at elevated temperature.
Key Features
- Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte construction for stable electrical characteristics and low equivalent series resistance.
- Capacitance & Voltage 15 µF nominal capacitance with a rated voltage of 25 V and tolerance of −20% to +20% (measured at 120 Hz, 20 °C).
- Low ESR & High Ripple Handling ESR of 50 mΩ at 20 °C / 100 kHz and high-frequency ripple current rating of 900 mA at 300 kHz (low-frequency ripple current 90 mA at 120 Hz) for effective high-frequency filtering and bulk smoothing.
- Dissipation & Leakage Tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.12 at 20 °C, 120 Hz, and leakage current specified at 100 µA, supporting predictable loss and self‑discharge behavior.
- Temperature & Endurance Rated for −55 °C to 125 °C with a load life of 3000 hours at 125 °C under rated voltage, ensuring long-term performance in high‑temperature environments.
- SMD Package & Mounting Compact radial can SMD package with dimensions φ6.3 × 5.8 mm (D × L) and surface mount land size 6.6 × 6.6 mm; supplied in embossed carrier tape with moisture‑proof packing for automated assembly.
- Manufacturing & Compliance Designed for lead‑free reflow soldering profiles (260 °C peak correspondence) and RoHS compliant construction.
Typical Applications
- Power supply output filtering — Low ESR and 900 mA high-frequency ripple capability make it suitable for smoothing outputs of compact DC‑DC converters and point‑of‑load modules.
- DC‑DC converter input/output stages — High allowable ripple current and conductive polymer chemistry support stable performance in switching regulator stages.
- High-frequency decoupling — 50 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and specified tan δ support effective decoupling at high switching frequencies.
- High-temperature electronics — Rated life of 3000 hours at 125 °C and wide −55 °C to 125 °C operating range for applications exposed to elevated ambient temperatures.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple tolerance: 900 mA at 300 kHz and 90 mA at 120 Hz ratings allow direct specification against ripple requirements for switching power stages.
- Low ESR for efficient filtering: 50 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz reduces voltage ripple and power loss in power delivery networks.
- Compact SMD footprint: φ6.3 × 5.8 mm can saves PCB space while providing electrolytic capacitance in a surface-mount form factor.
- Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125 °C supports designs that must maintain performance under prolonged thermal stress.
- Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier tape and moisture‑proof packing streamline automated pick-and-place and reflow processes.
- Lead‑free reflow capable and RoHS compliant: Suited to lead‑free manufacturing processes (260 °C peak correspondence) and regulated material requirements.
