Overview of RKS1H121MCNAJLGS – 120 µF, 50 V Conductive Polymer Aluminum SMD Capacitor
The RKS1H121MCNAJLGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor offering 120 µF capacitance at a 50 V rating. It combines high capacitance density with low equivalent series resistance and rated ripple current to support power delivery and decoupling in compact assemblies.
Designed for general-purpose applications, this SMD radial-can device provides a wide operating temperature range and extended load life, delivering reliable performance where sustained high-temperature endurance and high-frequency ripple handling are required.
Key Features
- Construction: Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte for stable electrical properties and solid-state reliability.
- Capacitance & Tolerance: 120 µF with capacitance tolerance of -20% to +20% at 120 Hz, 20°C.
- Rated Voltage: 50 V nominal rating for medium-voltage power rails.
- Low ESR: 25 mΩ measured at 20°C, 100 kHz, enabling effective high-frequency decoupling.
- High Ripple Current: 160 mA at 120 Hz (low frequency) and 1.6 A at 300 kHz (high frequency) for robust AC ripple handling in power circuits.
- Leakage Current: 300 µA specified leakage current.
- Temperature & Endurance: Rated for -55°C to +125°C with a rated load life of 3000 hours at 125°C.
- Mounting & Package: Surface-mount radial can (φ10 × 12.4L) packaged in embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing for automated assembly.
- Manufacturing & Compliance: Lead-free reflow compatible (260°C peak per solder profile guidance) and RoHS compliant; product is in mass production.
Typical Applications
- Power-supply filtering: Bulk decoupling and smoothing on medium-voltage rails where high capacitance and low ESR reduce voltage ripple.
- DC-DC converters: Input/output filtering on switching regulators that require high ripple-current capability and stable high-frequency performance.
- High-frequency power modules: Local decoupling for power stages that demand low impedance at 100 kHz–300 kHz frequencies.
Unique Advantages
- High capacitance in an SMD can: 120 µF in a compact φ10 × 12.4 mm package helps reduce board area while preserving bulk energy storage.
- Low ESR for better transient response: 25 mΩ at 100 kHz lowers voltage drop under load and improves high-frequency filtering effectiveness.
- Strong ripple-current handling: Specified 1.6 A at 300 kHz supports demanding switching applications and reduces thermal stress under AC conditions.
- Extended high-temperature life: 3000 hours at 125°C provides predictable end-of-life behavior for designs exposed to elevated operating temperatures.
- Assembly-ready packaging: Embossed carrier taping with moisture-proof packing simplifies pick-and-place and reflow assembly processes.
- Regulatory alignment: RoHS compliant to support environmental requirements in many markets.
