RKS1E680MCNAHJGS

The RKS1E680MCNAHJGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor designed for general-purpose electronic applications. It delivers 68 µF capacitance at a 25 V rating in a compact φ8 × 10 mm SMD can.

Engineered for demanding ripple/current handling and extended high-temperature life, this part offers low ESR, measurable tanδ, and a wide operating temperature range, making it suitable where stable power smoothing and decoupling are required under elevated ambient conditions.

Key Features

• Capacitance & Voltage — 68 µF rated capacitance at 25 V with tolerance of -20% to +20% for predictable charge storage.
• Low Loss & ESR — tanδ = 0.12 (measured at 20°C, 120 Hz) and ESR = 27 mΩ (measured at 20°C, 100 kHz) to support efficient energy transfer and minimize heat under AC ripple.
• High Ripple Current Capability — Low-frequency ripple current 160 mA (120 Hz) and high-frequency ripple current 1.6 A (300 kHz) for robust smoothing in switching power applications.
• Extended High‑Temperature Life — Rated endurance of 3000 hours at 125°C for long-term stability in elevated-temperature environments.
• Wide Operating Temperature — Functional from -55°C to 125°C to cover a broad range of ambient conditions.
• Surface-Mount Packaging — φ8 × 10 mm radial can in SMD format supplied in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly and production readiness.
• Leakage Current — Specified leakage current up to 100 µA (after standard conditioning), supporting predictable quiescent behavior.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• Power Supplies — Bulk smoothing and output filtering in switching power supplies where high ripple current capability and low ESR reduce temperature rise.
• DC‑DC Converters — Input/output decoupling for converters that require stable capacitance and low loss at high switching frequencies.
• Embedded & Industrial Electronics — General-purpose decoupling and energy buffering in systems operating across a wide temperature range, including elevated ambient conditions.

Unique Advantages

• High ripple handling: 1.6 A at high frequency and 160 mA at low frequency enable reliable smoothing in high-switching-current circuits.
• Low ESR and controlled loss: 27 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz and tanδ = 0.12 (120 Hz) reduce dissipation and improve thermal performance on densely packed boards.
• Designed for high-temperature endurance: 3000-hour rated life at 125°C preserves capacitance and ESR stability in hot operating environments.
• Compact SMD can: φ8 × 10 mm package supports automated placement while delivering high capacitance for its footprint.
• Production-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies handling and supports surface-mount assembly lines.
• Predictable leakage behavior: Leakage current specified at 100 µA ensures controlled quiescent currents for power-budgeted designs.
