Overview of RKS1H180MCNAHGGS – Surface-Mount Conductive Polymer Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitor, 18 µF 50 V
The RKS1H180MCNAHGGS is a surface-mount conductive polymer aluminum electrolytic capacitor engineered for SMD power applications that require high allowable ripple current, low equivalent series resistance (ESR) and robust high-temperature endurance. Its conductive-polymer construction and compact radial can SMD package deliver stable capacitance and predictable performance across a wide operating temperature range.
Designed for automated assembly, the part combines a tight form factor (φ8 × 7.7 mm) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing, making it suitable for high-density power electronics assemblies where long life at elevated temperatures is needed.
Key Features
- Core Technology Conductive polymer aluminum solid electrolyte for stable performance and improved ripple handling compared to traditional liquid electrolytes.
- Capacitance & Tolerance 18 µF nominal capacitance with ±20% tolerance at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
- Voltage Rating Rated for 50 V DC operation.
- Low ESR ESR of 30 mΩ measured at 20 °C, 100 kHz, enabling efficient high-frequency filtering and reduced loss.
- High Ripple Capability Low-frequency ripple current 160 mA at 120 Hz and high-frequency ripple current 1.6 A at 300 kHz, supporting demanding switching environments.
- Temperature & Endurance Operating range −55 °C to 125 °C with a rated lifetime of 3000 hours at 125 °C.
- Leakage & Loss Angle Leakage current specified at 100 µA; tangent of loss angle (tan δ) 0.12 at 20 °C, 120 Hz.
- Package & Assembly Radial can SMD package (φ8 × 7.7 mm) with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing; compatible with lead-free reflow soldering conditions up to a 260 °C peak as specified for the series.
Typical Applications
- SMD power modules — Surface-mount power assemblies that require high allowable ripple current and low ESR benefit from the 1.6 A high-frequency ripple rating and 30 mΩ ESR.
- High-temperature electronics — Designs operating in elevated ambient conditions can leverage the −55 °C to 125 °C range and 3000 hour life at 125 °C for reliable long-term performance.
- High-frequency filtering and decoupling — The low ESR at 100 kHz and specified high-frequency ripple current make this capacitor suitable for decoupling near switching regulators and high-frequency circuits.
- Automated SMD assembly — Compact φ8 × 7.7 mm dimensions with embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing streamline pick-and-place and reflow processes.
Unique Advantages
- High ripple handling: 1.6 A at 300 kHz (and 160 mA at 120 Hz) reduces stress in switching applications and supports elevated ripple workloads.
- Low ESR for efficient filtering: 30 mΩ ESR at 100 kHz lowers power loss and improves filtering effectiveness in high-frequency circuits.
- Long high-temperature life: Rated endurance of 3000 hours at 125 °C delivers predictable longevity for thermal-stressed designs.
- Surface-mount assembly ready: Embossed carrier taping and moisture-proof packing support modern SMT production and reflow soldering up to 260 °C peak per series guidance.
- Compact radial can SMD footprint: φ8 × 7.7 mm size provides a small footprint while maintaining high capacitance and ripple capability for space-constrained boards.
